Swaddle Blanket Wrap Dresses – All the Rage for Summer 2012

by Jill Jarvis 1 Comment

My posts are a little delayed because I’m on a whirlwind trip. Yesterday the kids and I flew from Texas to New York to see Grandma and Grandpa. Today I’ll take off for a business trip to Asia.

The trip yesterday went very well, especially considering I had James strapped to my chest, Brooke in a stroller and Joe walking beside me. The one glitch was Brooke and the spilled apple juice.

On the first flight to Chicago, Brooke spilled her entire cup down her shirt and into her lap. And then cried. A lot.

I handed off Baby to a nice looking stranger and cleaned up my girl. I realized that James had 6 outfits in my carry-on bag, but nothing for Brooke.

Having only new undies and the Aden + Anais Swaddle Blanket (which is the best baby blanket ever), I made Brooke a little sarong dress. I wrapped it up and around her neck and used her brand new United wings to pin it closed.

Brooke thought she looked pretty darn good in her long dress and thought I should also get one with monkeys on it.

    Wow, great idea on how to use the swaddle blanket! I’ll let my friend know about this. I have a son, so I can make a toga for him.

jill-jarvis-bigkidsmallcity-circle-300 Welcome!  JillBJarvis.com is the go-to blog for things to do in Houston with kids!  It is upbeat and dedicated to making our big city feel small.   START HERE!    

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
