To me, aden + anais is one of those brands you just HAVE to know about when you have kids and one I tell all my pregnant friends about. The founder of aden + anais grew up in Australia where they wrapped their babies in large muslin sheets. When she moved to the US, she couldn’t . . . → Read More: aden + anais swaddling blanket review

For many parents, the first 3-4 weeks with a newborn can be pretty challenging and a big part of that is a lack of sleep. It’s just part of having a newborn! But the situation is even worse if the baby is having trouble sleeping, too. Swaddling is a very important part of a newborn’s life, but must be done safely and effectively so everyone can get some sleep!
Of course as first-time parents of our son, Ryan, we were super paranoid about safety and the number one name associated with safety and swaddling is the Halo SleepSack. We received our first Halo SleepSack when Ryan was about 1 month old. It only took a few attempts before we were Halo Swaddling masters and it was much easier and faster than using a swaddle blanket! With our second on the way, a baby girl, we wanted to make sure that we had a few Halo SleepSacks available in cute pink colors!

I love the pink swaddle that we received for this review and can’t wait to share this amazing product with one of my lucky readers. There are so many different designs to choose from, including some popular Disney characters. There are also a variety of fabrics including micro-fleece, cotton and organic cotton. There is a safe sleep solution for every parent at Halo thanks to the Halo SleepSack founder, William Schmid. After he lost his daughter to SIDS in 1991, he devoted his life to finding safe, healthy, and simple ways to help babies sleep–thank you, William!

Depending on material and style selection, you can pick up a Halo SleepSack for around $25. Check them at at halosleep.com.

Serta Mattresses was founded by a group of mattress manufacturers in 1931 and the company has committed to making “The World’s Best Mattresses” ever since. Serta’s commitment to innovation, research and development, safety, the environment, and marketing have helped it grow into one of the most trusted and recognized mattress manufacturers in the world!
Serta manufactures a variety of mattresses for many income ranges and sleeping needs. Whether you’re looking for the Serta Perfect Sleeper, the mattress that started it all and has continued to evolve based on modern manufacturing standards and technological advances, or the eco-friendly HGTV Green Home mattress, which is manufactured of 95% recycled steel and soy infused foam, Serta is sure to meet the needs of any sleeper–young and old!

Serta has even applied its mattress manufacturing expertise to crib mattresses with the Serta Royal Sleeper Crib Mattress. The water resistant cover and side supports guarantee this mattress will remain supported and will resist most spills associated with babies. For the purpose of this review, LaJobi sent me the Royal Sleeper Mattress and also is allowing me to give one away to one of my very lucky readers!

I was really impressed with the quality of the mattress and it fit perfectly into our standard sized crib. One thing I noticed right away were the six circulation vents located on the sides of the mattress. I checked out the Babies R US website and found out that the holes actually allow the mattress fabric to breath, which keeps the mattress fresher over time.
The mattress has an ortho-insulator layer for extra support and a layer of organic cotton to make it extra comfy. And for those of you that have done all your crib mattress research? Stats: 221 continuous coils, fireblocker, water resistant, hypoallergenic, 4 corner supports, and 2 side flex clips.
The LaJobi Serta Royal Sleeper Crib Mattress retails for around $200 and can be purchased from Babies R US.
*Don’t miss the giveaways running ALL MONTH on LaJobi’s blog! Every day they’re giving away one of their favorite things… from furniture, mattresses and bedding sets to gift cards, toys and diaper bags! Runs until Dec 31 so go check it out!

You’ve heard of Havaianas, right? If not… where have you been?! They’ve been around since 1962 and have the recognizable foot-bed with the textured rice pattern.

I have a pair of Havaianas flip flops that look similar to these and I love them:

And the baby sandals are adorable, I’d love to get Ryan a pair next summer–and I suppose the baby girl will need some too!

And really cute?! Wedding flip flops–what a great idea! At our wedding reception, I changed from my fancy heels into some white flip flops… I would have loved to have these!
