Quick Zip Crib Sheet

Maisie — Mon, 26 May 2008 01:38:49 +0000

Product Overview
The Quick Zip Crib Sheet is the world’s easiest crib sheet! There are two components to the crib sheet, the base and the zip top sheet. Place the mattress in the zipper base, then place a mattress pad on top of the mattress then zip on the top sheet. To change the sheets, simply unzip the top and zip on a clean sheet. The zipper base fully covers the bottom and four sides of the mattress so it stays in place and the covered zipper never touches your baby.

Why I Like It
As a new parent I did not realize that it would take me such a long time to change crib sheets! I have to untie the crib bumper, then somehow get the mattress propped up to put a new crib sheet on, put the mattress back down, then straighten the bed skirt, and finally tie the crib bumper back on. It’s quite the process! Plus with a baby spitting up in bed, I end up changing the sheets on a frequent basis.

When I learned about the Quick Zip Crib Sheet, I wondered why I had not come up with that myself! The concept is so simple. The Quick Zip Crib Sheet will save you tons of time and make sheet changes that much easier.

Be sure to purchase a flat mattress pad (not mattress pad that goes around the mattress, but one that is just a pad and can lay flat) to use with the Quick Zip Crib Sheet.

Guardian Sleeper

Product Overview
The Guardian Sleeper is a one piece sleep positioner designed to safely cover your baby and maintain her in the ‘Back-to-Sleep’ position. The soft harness holds the baby in place and away from the sides of the crib or bassinet. The cover cannot be kicked off by your baby, and there is no risk of the cover going over your baby’s head. The Guardian Sleeper also has ventilation which allows your baby to maintain a healthy body temperature at night.

Why I Like It
I have an active baby who loves to kick her little feet at night and scoot around her crib. I’ve been awaken several times by her cries when she has bumped into the sides of her crib, or is stuck in the corner of the crib. My husband suggested that we velcro her in the middle of the crib, but since there is no such product on the market, I was happy to find the Guardian Sleeper. I am now able to place her under the covers and strap her into place and she stays in one place through the night. Now she doesn’t bump into the sides of her crib and everyone can have a peaceful night’s rest.

Scribble Wall Decals

Maisie — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 15:04:36 +0000

Product Overview
Scribble Wall Decals are a self-adhesive wall decoration that is also easily removable. The decal is delivered to you sticky. To install, just clean your walls, plan your design, stick and peel. To remove simply peel them off the walls. The wall decals are not reusable.

Why I Like It
Admit it, wall paper is a thing of the past, and only found in your grandmother’s house. Stenciling should be left up to your mother. The modern way of decorating is with wall decals. These wall decals make it easy to decorate the nursery with fun and colorful graphics.

I love interior design. However, when it comes to walls, the most I can do is paint one solid color. Even then, painting is painstakingly slow. These wall decals are so easy to use (and remove) that even a plain white wall would look so much better with the decals.

ScribbleonWalls.com is one company that provides fun, modern graphics for any room in your house, even the nursery. I have found other companies designs to be somewhat boring or dated. ScribbleonWalls.com provides designs spanning from simple text, to tribal looking wall tatoos and nature inspired designs. You can also design your own wall decal and submit it to their team. If they think it fits their company they’ll add it to their design options and give you 50% of the profit every time your design is purchased.
