Twice As Nice Giveaway

**CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED**

Two great giveaways this week - any complaints? Hope not! :)

Thanks to all you wonderful Moms out there, after my "Potentially Stupid Question" post a few months back, I was introduced to the (Hallelujah) Sleep Sack. Some Moms are comfortable with it and to you I say "go for it". However, the sleep sack was the perfect alternative for us once Jane got out of her swaddle. We are able to keep our little sweetie toasty and warm, and I have peace of mind that we are lowering our risk of SIDS by avoiding loose blankets.

Here's my beef - I couldn't find them anywhere. And, where I did find them, they were insanely expensive ($50+). Ok, to be clear, I did find some cheaper ones (at Walmart, Sears, etc.) but they were all way too small (6-12 months or smaller) for Jane and I didn't like the quality.

So, being an Etsy Addict, I ventured out to find a fabulous artiste who could make me a sleep sack...

Introducing Twice As Nice Boutique. When I received my sleep sack, my message back to Karen (the designer) started something like this "OMG OMG OMG OMG..." and so on. Her sleep sacks are AMAZING!

First of all, Twice As Nice's sleep sacks come in all sizes: 0-6, 6-12, 12-24, 2T, etc. so it's easy to find one that will fit your growing "monkey". Karen also provides specific measurements so you can ensure your sleep sack will be a perfect fit. If you're smart, you'll take advantage of discounted shipping and buy a few of different sizes!

Secondly, her sleep sacks are TOP QUALITY. Aside from the fact that I loved the fabric (polka dots, my favourite), here are some of the other awesome features that stood out to me:

• VS. your typical store-bought sleep sack (made of thin cotton that stretches and doesn't wash well, or fleece which doesn't breathe at all), the sleep sacks from Twice As Nice are durable cotton and are lined with a super soft flannel layer (in a coordinating colour)
• Inverted zipper with protective tab to prevent zipper rubbing against baby's sensitive skin - in other words, it zips from top to bottom (no nipped chins and baby can't unzip)
• Sleeveless - makes it easy to slip on without too much hassle (Jane hates putting her arms in sleeves). Although, Karen does make sleeved sleep sacks which I think would be awesome for the dead of winter.
• One of the features I was most impressed with was the slit in the back (for car seat buckles, swings, etc.) - when Jane was sick a few weeks ago she wouldn't nap lying down because as soon as she did, she started coughing. So, I brought the trusty swing out of storage and gave it a shot... only problem, her old sleep sack didn't have any slit in the back. I had to take one of her legs out of the sleep sack so I could strap her in... frustrating. By the time all was done, she was wide awake again.
  

Karen offers pre-made sleep sacks at her Etsy Shop ($35US) but also loves to do custom orders. Check out her blog and click here to view some of her fabric swatches - a few of your options are pictured on the left.

Because she is fabulous, Karen generously obliged when I begged her to work with me on a giveaway for MOmMy bRain.
