Baby's Room



I've had my eye on this crib bumper since before we knew our first was a girl. My mom, with just a little help from me, made a slipcover to go over Elle's pink and yellow bumper for Grady's room. And we made the rest of the room relatively cheaply--crib skirt, curtains, basket liners, etc. However, our craftsmanship was not of the highest quality (no offense Mom!), and the slipcover ripped in a few places. When I saw this on sale for $19.99, I had to get it. Now I can easily buy a few coordinating crib sheets (which I need to get anyway) and a little fabric for some curtains and a crib skirt and voila, a cheap and easy update for baby brother!



Thanks to a little inspiration from Abby, the kids have enjoyed this rainy, cold day. **No word on the triplets yet.

cute bumper pads!!! Oh and I will be curious to know if your kids (like mine) drag EVERYTHING but the kitchen sink into their tent? They love the tents but I HATE the clean up!!!! Bad mom, I know!!!!

Love the bumper pad! Your living room looks just like mine. My kids have been known to drag EVERY pillow in the house and pile them in one room. That's like 20 pillows :) We'd love to get together with you guys sometime soon.
