Big Girl Bed & CSN Giveaway!

So it's been a week of co-sleeping...and no one is well rested.

We were in NYC for the weekend and the crib that the hotel provided to us was teeny tiny so Hannah ended up sleeping in our bed. Her first night back at home was a great one but that was probably due to 3 days of late bedtimes and an 11:30pm arrival.

After some negotiating the past two nights, I managed to get her to sleep in her own bed - more specifically, her mattress on the floor. It lasted a good 4 hours before she came walking into our room and hopping into bed.

So while I've been re-arranging our home office furniture, looks like my new home decor project is Hannah's room. I'm going to keep the crib in there for a while but think she might need proper sheets to be tucked into every night.

And since I'll be shopping, I figure you might as well too!

Leave me a comment with your suggestions on how to keep Hannah safe and sleeping in her room all night long and you could win a $35 gift code to use at any of the CSN stores. (Sorry, this giveaway is only open to residents of Canada and the USA).

I'll pick a winner next Wednesday February 23rd at 9pm (EST) so leave your comment before then.

Good luck!

Big Girl Bed

Throughout my pregnancy and Hannah's first year I referred to a list of books for everything. But now that we've hit the 17 month mark I don't really have much reference material.

So as I looked at Hannah's crib that she has so artistically gnawed on, I wondered...when is it time to switch to a bed? Luckily we don't have to look at big girl bedroom furniture sets since her crib is convertible.

No, we are not in a rush to get her in a big girl bed because we need to hand down her crib.

I just have no idea when to make the switch. I think my niece did it around 2 but that's because she was getting ready to give her baby brother her crib.

So, when's the right time to make the change?
