Madelyn is a blankie lover.  She always has a blanket with her.  There are a few exceptions I suppose, but she's attached.   When I took Madelyn's minky Princess Blanket out of the package, the first thing she did was rub it on her face.  That's become a regular thing now.. when we're reading she holds the minky blanket on her face.  It's
adorable.  At night when
she's going to sleep she rubs the satin edges between her fingers.  Dressy Dribbles blankets and car seat covers are machine washable and available in several designs and colors.

Dressy Dribbles showed me that I don't have to settle for the standard gray cover that came with Madelyn's Britax toddler car seat.  Ugh.. how boring.  Now, Madelyn has the most beautiful car seat cover from Dressy Dribbles. 

Dressy Dribbles car seat cover features:

• Machine washable
• Made from the softest minky, denim, cotton and satin fabrics
• Snap on and off, no strap threading required!
• Fit most standard convertible car seats up to 65 pounds.
• Infant and Toddler covers available
• 7 designs
• Camo, minky, and denim fabrics
• Have matching blankets (sold separately or as a gift set)
• What more can you ask for?

Madelyn is past the 'nursery room' stage so we've been transi
tioning to decor pieces that are more bright and vibrant in color.  Pastels and light colors were wonderful for her first year but I think her room needs brighter colors now.  Tatutina children's room decor pieces are adorable and would be great for any toddler's room.

Tatutina's "Happy painted gifts for a happy lifestyle" are beautifully designed wooden pieces, and are painted with vibrant colors including pinks, purples, blues and reds.  Tatutina uses non-toxic paint and sealers and the edges of the wooden pieces are nice and smooth so I wouldn't worry about Madelyn getting a splinter or licking herself into toxicity.  Yes, I worry about those things!

You can shop by collection such as the Tatutina Flowers Collection pictured here.  Items in the collections include book-ends, a keepsake box, mini-bins, and a wastebasket.  I love the hand-painted look and feel of Tatutina's decor pieces and can imagine that Madelyn will like these pieces well into her tween years if not longer.  The Dinosaurs, Animals and Sports designs are great for a little boy's room.

Prices are in the $20 range.

Tatutina children's room decor and gift items are available at the Tatutina store!

My mother uses a satin pillowcase and got my son, now 8, hooked on satin pillow cases when he was about two years old.   I don’t blame them.. satin is soft, smooth, and luxurious to the touch.
Adults have use satin pillow cases for years to keep hair under control while sleeping.  Cotton pillow cases tend to grab and break delicate hair which causes the dreaded ‘bald spot’.

The Baby Sharmooz may reduce and/or eliminate balding by allowing the head to glide over the satin headrest. It gets better.  You may ask how the Baby Sharmooz stays put.  The non-slip backing ensures that the satin headrest’s movement is minimal if it moves at all.   The Baby Sharmooz is not intended for use in the crib. Baby should not have any type of blanket or pillow in her crib for the first year or so. 

The Baby Sharmooz is for use in a baby swing, carrier, car seat, and bouncer.  The Baby Sharmooz is just big enough for baby’s head making it easy to take with you anywhere you go.  I’ll tell you a secret.. during the testing phase of the Baby Sharmooz, I used it in the car, for myself.  Who doesn’t love the cool feeling of satin?  Other Sharmooz products include the Royal Sharmooz Pillowcase for older children and adults, satin fitted cribsheets, baby blankets, and burp cloths all available in several colors and styles.

Madelyn loves her Baby Sharmooz and even uses it like a blankie.
