Quilted Monkey Mat Picnic

What We Thought:

We love the Quilted Monkey Mat! We got a red one to try out. It is lovely to take traveling so we can lay it out and be able to sit just about anywhere. We found it works best on flat surfaces though. We also love that if the grass is slightly damp from dew or rain showers then this mat is perfect because it is water proof and water repellent so your tushie doesn't get wet while sitting in it. We also love the attached pouch. It is so convenient to just shake it off, fold up, stuff in the bag, zip, and go. The pouch also has a handle you can hold and hang it from. This would be great for trips to the zoo, outdoor concerts, festivals, fairs, etc. We had a picnic outside on a nice sunny day in out front yard too. We like the idea it could be staked down because even with the weighted corners it was blowing around a bit. I love that it can be machine washed and is easily wipe-able in case of spills too.

This is a great mat for both indoors and out and I highly recommend this for anyone who needs a good sized mat for sitting or lounging on.

Zoey's Closet Review

Zoey's Closet is a wonderful shop on Etsy that I love! I keep tabs on Zoey's Closet on Facebook because I find fabulous sales on her wonderful items there. She has made homemade delivery gowns, mommy wrap baby carriers, swaddle blankets, quilts, pillowcase dresses, booties, pillowcases, hair clips, nursing covers, tutus, car seat covers and matching car seat canopies, appliqued onesies, shopping cart covers, burp cloths, reusable nursing pads, wipes cases, diaper bags, etc. to sell in her store. Right now they have homemade delivery gowns, mommy wrap baby carriers, and some swaddle blankets for sale on Etsy.

I also heard on Facebook that the owner, Kendra, is also gearing up to introduce some new things to her store soon. I can't wait! I love being one of her loyal customers. I bought a lovely 18-24mo pillowcase dress for my daughter, Teela, with adorable deers on it that came with a sweet ribbon hair clip. It is even wonderful in the cold months layered with a long sleeved shirt and leggings. I also purchased a gorgeous 35 x 36" soft minky and flannel quilt for my baby daughter, Zari. She loves it and it is the perfect size to throw over her car seat in the cold weather when she is being transferred in and out of the van. Both homemade items are fabulous!

I was also eying her Mommy wraps and saw one that I fell in love with because I love the color and pattern so much. Kendra said I could have it in exchange for publicity and a review on my blog. I love this Mommy Wrap baby carrier! It is so easy to wrap around to carry baby with. It also folds up well to take in the diaper bag so I can have it with me when I need to have my hands free other places other than my home. I took it with me to my mom's house for a after Christmas gathering. It was so great to have! I love babywearing and Zari loves being held close to me.

All of the prices at Zoey's Closet are so affordable and so very worth it for their adorable items! Don't forget to Fan/Like their Facebook page for exclusive sales and discounts.

Blanket and Quilt Charities For Children

My daughter, Tatiana, was so very blessed while she was on this Earth with us and we were very blessed to have her as long as we did. Over and over she was showered with gifts from various charities and organizations. Among them were the people that made quilts and blankets for her and her siblings. Tatiana spent a lot of her time at Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland, Oregon and the majority of the time she was greeted to her room with a handmade, homemade treasure to have while she was in the hospital and to take home with her. I want to thank everyone who volunteer and contribute their time and effort into making these and other lovely items for children who are in need of some comfort. I know that my daughter appreciated every one of these beautiful expressions of love and compassion and so did I.

I recently received an email from Better Homes and Gardens about P&Gs Downy Touch of Comfort Program that partnerships with and benefits Quilts For Kids, because I am a member of Better Homes and Gardens Reader Panel. You can help donate 10,000 comforting, handmade quilts to hospitalized children. When you purchase specially marked Downy with the quilted label, 5¢ goes to Downy's charity partner, Quilts For Kids. You can even make a Downy Touch of Comfort Heart Quilt with this free pattern.

This email reminded me of the many blankets and quilts my family has received from organizations like Quilts For Kids. I wanted to list them here too because I am grateful. Click on the links to learn more about them:

♥Project Linus♥ See Tatiana with one of her Project Linus quilts.
♥Love Quilts♥ See Tatiana with her Love Quilt.
♥Binky Patrol♥ See Tati and her siblings with their Binky Patrol blankets.

If you are a quilter or a blanket maker and would like to donate your talents to one of these wonderful organizations please consider doing so! They need your help! Thanks!
