Aden+Adais Swaddle Giveaway--Baby Shower Celebration‏

I am thrilled to be joining in with Tots and Me to celebrate the birth of her precious baby boy. Her Baby Shower Celebration has been extended due to unforeseen circumstances. The following review was written by Tots and Me.

Tots and Me
I was sent an organic oasis swaddle from the organic muslin collection. I was thrilled to find out that the organic collection swaddles were designed especially for sensitive skin, seeing as I have very sensitive skin as does Amelia. So, better to be safe than sorry, huh.  
Check out this awesome swaddle blanket:
  organic oasis swaddle    
I wanted to show how big this blanket is. In the above picture it is laid out on my bed which is queen sized.   
I find it highly meaningful that as baby Harold is being swaddled he slowly calms down. I have surely learned a lot about swaddling with this baby. Too bad he is our last. Would have loved to have known these secrets 19 years ago with Floyd. 
The aden + anais swaddle blanket is made of natural cotton muslin which makes it a highly breathable fabric, perfect for this warming time of year. I discovered that this fabric truly is quite durable for being so delicate. It doesn't look like it would be so durable. But as I tested out the stretchiness while swaddling the baby I realized it is very well made. And soft, it is so soft. When I was reading information on the aden + anais website I discovered this material gets softer with repeated washings. I just love this blanket. 
You have got to check out all the great blankets available from aden + anais (along with their other wonderful products). Their contemporary prints are adorable and all their blankets are made of cotton muslin. 
And don't forget to check them out on Facebook and Twitter.
  
As a part of my Baby Shower Celebration aden + anais has offered a great giveaway for my readers (that's you).  One of you is going to get a Classic Collection 4 pack of your choice. 
Just fill in the Rafflecopter below. 
I have to mention that I know I do not usually have so many entries on my Rafflecopter forms. However, these wonderful ladies are helping to share my Baby Shower Celebration and I offered them a spot or two on said form. Remember, you don't have to fill in every entry (there are only 2 mandatory entries) but each entry you complete increases your chances for winning and I would love for you to follow these great ladies who are helping me. 
This giveaway runs from May 6th through May 19th 11:59pm

Disclosure: I received  the organic oasis swaddle for free as a part of my Baby Shower Celebration. This did not in any way influence my review. I only recommend products I use personally and will be good for my readers.

May Day!

Happy May Day!  How is your day going?

We're having road construction on the Highway by our house so we've got lots of things to watch.  My kids are in heaven!  As soon as the workers showed up my kids were out on the porch watching.  Fionna even had to get out there.  I guess I should be glad she at least put her boots on.

Love how the princess put her pink boots on with her nightgown before going outside!

Grinning when she realized I found her out

Zyera was in jammies still too.  They were shouting at each other through the door.  I think they were trying to figure out how to get Zyera out the door too!
