Woombie Wins!



Atticus was the fussiest baby I have ever known.  He is my sister’s first born, and since everything has always come to Katie pretty easily, Atticus did his best to give her a real challenge.  At first I didn’t believe a baby could cry all the time, but Atticus proved me wrong.  Unless he was eating, he was crying.  Since she couldn’t feed him all day long, Katie started researching.  Katie learned that babies love to be swaddled, good and tight, because it helps them feel secure and safe.  The baby swaddle mimics the life these little ones had in the womb.  And in a miraculous way, swaddling little Atticus up, calmed him.

Katie was expert at the baby swaddle, but some of us moms couldn’t keep the blanket wrapped tightly enough around our babies.  They’d soon wriggle their little arms out and be upset again.  So, you can imagine how happy I was to hear of the Woombie.  The Woombie does all the swaddling work for you.  It was designed by an RN and infant care specialist—which I love, because I can trust it for safety. Not only does it prevent the baby from squirming her way out of the swaddle, it prevents loose blankets from getting close to her face in sleep.  The Woombie allows for natural movement of the arms and legs, but prevents the flailing that often wakes and upsets them.

Babies swaddled in a Woombie look so peaceful and comfortable.  And cute too! Look at darling little Lucy in her elephant Woombie! They have some darling patterns available, so if you're like me, you'll want several.  I’m just wishing there was a Woombie designed to fit me!  I’d never get dressed again!

Fresh Living



Hey all!  We had a great time today on Channel 2's Fresh Living.  We showed viewers how to make a cute pinwheel accessory.  If you weren't able to tune in, I'll include a link here:  http://www.kutv.com/news/features/fresh-living/main/stories/vid_617.shtml

Also, here are some step by step photos of making the pinwheel accessory:


1.  All you need is some fabric (seen here is red felt), scissors and a glue gun (or craft glue).


2. Cut out a small square of fabric.  Cut on each corner diagonally toward the middle.


3. Put a dab of glue in the center.


4. Fold the left corners of each slit into the center.  Add glue to hold each corner down.


5. Ta-da!  A finished pinwheel accessory!


6. If you want to add embellishments, you can make another layer of pinwheel to glue on top,



7.  And add a button on top...or really whatever you'd like!



8.  Don't forget to buy a tube of Girlie Glue to go with your new pinwheel!  And if you're not the crafty type, type FRESHLIVING into the comments section when you buy your glue, and we'll send you one for free. Hurry though, when they're gone, they're gone!

Getting Ready


It's that time of year. Supplies and clothes and cramming in late nights and friend play dates.  Is it just us, or did this summer fly by?  It never seems quite fair.



We hope you enjoy your last week(s?) before sending the littles off to school.  And don't forget to get a tube of Girlie Glue for the new year.  Our daughters have had so much fun matching felt earrings to their school clothes!
