Storkcraft Hoop Glider and Ottoman

With our paint color, furniture, and bedding picked out, I started searching for a glider. I had completely forgot about needing a place to sit with our little girl! I found the Storkcraft Hoop Glider and Ottoman for $180. They have it in many colors and finishes. But I like the white finish, to match the furniture we picked out. And the green, it picks up the details in the bedding we choose.

Tiger Lily Bedding

This is the bedding that we choose. It's the Tiger Lily Collection. I really like that it's bright. And is not just pink. But has other fun colors in it, like green, peach, and yellow. And it's not too "babyish" and can grow with our little girl. That's important!

The 6 piece set includes the quilt, bumper, dust ruffle, a fitted sheet, a diaper stacker, and 1 valance. All so fun and cheerful for $125. Not too bad.

There are some other items that we want to get. Like the mobile ($34), art ($22), and a lamp($34.) We also need a hamper ($25.) Oh and we can't forget about the curtains. We need another valance ($19) and 2 sets of sheers ($39.) We probably want to get a few extra sheets ($11) and a blanket or 2 ($13.) That's just under $400 for all of that!

As our little girl grows, there are bedding pieces to match this set. Like pillow shames, and extra decorative pillows. You can even buy buckets and baskets to match. :) So just like our crib will grow with her, we can add a few pieces to make this set last longer!

Da Vinci Kalani Convertible Crib

Both my mom and my mother in law were curious about how a crib can be convertible. So this is the set that my hubby and I have decided to buy. And here is the crib in all it's glory!



This is the crib, functioning as a regular baby's crib. No drop down sides. That was important to me.



When our little grow girls a little and is ready for a "big girl" bed, we can lower the mattress and turn the crib into a toddler bed. With the little railing.



Then as our little girl grows, we can turn the toddler bed into a daybed. I think this is a great deal!



Then one day, when we're done having kids and they're bigger, we can turn the bed into a full sized bed.

I think this is a really good deal. Right now we can get the crib for $250. We still have to buy a mattress. But to know that we can use this for years, I think we're making a good decision. And after reading tons of reviews and talking to Lola, I know that this crib is going to be safe for many years to come!

Welcome

Welcome to my little blog. I don't know what exactly I'm going to blog about. But I figured it being the New Year and all, I would start a blog. A place to write about my life. It's quickly changing. I'm a newlywed. And an expecting mommy. I've also decided to take some time off of school.

So it being a new year and all, I want to start a few new things. One being this blog. Please bear with me. I'm not sure how this is going to go. But I do hope you enjoy the ride. Maybe a few of you could give me some words of wisdom. Or maybe, a little advise. I need a lot of it!
