Lil’ Tag Alongs baby blanket
review + giveaway

Lil' Tag Alongs baby blanket with link attachmentsWhat new mom doesn’t love a product that makes life a little easier? I certainly do and I recently learned about Lil’ Tag Alongs, a blanket that is sure to make any new mom’s life easierreally!
Lil’ Tag Alongs blankets perform several functions including keeping baby warm, cozy, and Lil’ Tag Alongs ensure that your baby’s favorite toy won’t fall on the dirty grocery store floor as long as it’s attached to a link on the blanket. You wouldn’t believe my reaction when Madelyn dropped a toy onto a dirty grocery store floor.  First I would gasp, then my super speedy reflexes took over as I picked the toy. Madelyn wasn’t allowed to touch it again until I sanitized it making for a miserable remainder of our grocery trip.  You’ll be happy to know that I’m not that crazy anymore… maybe in different ways but I’m not a “germaphone” (what my son used to call me) anymore.

Obviously, I would have benefited greatly from a Lil’ Tag Alongs blanket during Madelyn’s infant months.   The ability to attach Madelyn’s favorite toys to her blanket would have saved me time running from room to room looking for her favorite rattle or teething toy that I could have attached to a link on her Lil’ Tag Alongs blanket.  Toys attach to Lil’ Tag Alongs blankets using links sold at Wal-Mart and Babies R’ Us like those in the photograph here.  A lot of infant and baby toys snap right onto the links.

Knit Apple Jacket

Imagine this.. it’s snack time and you and your best friend pull your apples out of your handbag at the same time.  Your friends apple is plane jane green and is sporting about a half inch bruise, but your apple is bruise free, and is wearing a colorful designer jacket from Jacqueline.   How great would that be?

Knitting is not an easy craft and I believe that Jacqueline has a lot of skill and patience to create the beautiful designs that she does. Jacqueline’s pieces are hand-made originals and she has a great eye for color which make her pieces truly amazing.

The apple jacket is a wonderful item that keeps your apples from getting bruised while in your handbag or diaper bag. It also makes your apple look very pretty and is sure to be a conversation starter.

Apple jackets are a great gift especially for teachers. They are machine washable and dryer safe and available in several colors.

Click on over to Jacquelin’s Etsy shop and take a look at all of the colors available.
