Elliott’s Crib AKA The No Sleep Zone!
July 29th, 2008
Liz makes fun of my random posts, (e.g. Publix Baby Club) but I don’t care! Perhaps it’s the nerd in me wanting to create a sweet resource of baby gear/happenings for other new and soon-to-be parents. A repository of links, photos and our first hand stories for the discerning parent not wanting to buy the typical baby swag. But I digress …
I love seeing other people’s crib setups — so here’s us weighing in on our hot lil’ jammers.
Olivia Crib Set (@ Walmart) — We’ve searched all over the internet(s) for the rad crib and initially wanted to buy the Oeuf crib. After much discussion and a little more searching we found the Olivia, essentially a knock-off, maybe “knock-off” is a harsh word, let’s say a “close estranged cousin” of the Oeuf. For a third of the price! Yea, nailed it! All that money-saving opened up the budget for the matching chest, changing table and some fresh bedding, which I will get to next.
Silly Owl Crib Set by Litto (@ Fawn & Forest) — Liz discovered this when we first found out we were expecting and we both fell in love with it. It’s so perfect for Elliott! The color, the style and everything about it is so fresh! It’s a tad spend-y for crib bedding, especially when you can get a rad set like this from Walmart. However the Silly Owl set is really well constricted and the stitching is top-notch! Pricey but quality!
We’re still figuring out “the bows” on this thing but we’re crazy happy with Elliott’s setup! Also, Liz keep making fun of how long this post is, my obsession with crib bedding and the fact that I have to tell people about it! Yay internet!

Hey Guys,
I know we’ve never met but it’s fun keeping up with you guys through your website and Julie. Once we’re all less sleep-deprived we should introduce our little guys. They’re exactly 6 weeks apart.

I would just like to say how much I appreciate Danny keeping us posted even about the little things through the blog!! Horray Danny!
Cheers

I agree with Julie! Keep up the posting Danny! I was cracking up at the quirky-ness.

So which came first… the bed set - or the ourlittleowl URL?

@Beth — Yes! This is a must happen for all of us! Can’t wait to grab some food, stroller space, swap stories, have a few drinks and laughs!
@ Jules & Uncle Chris — Thanks for the support guys!
@Jared — Haha! Avin’s nest is killer, too! Love that bedding set!
@ Justin — I think the name came first! We’ve been calling each other “Turtle” and “Dove” for quite some time and we’re mildly obsessed with owls. Also, the domain was available.

Hey guys,
Congrats on your little man!
Been following your blog for a while which inspired my wife and I to start our own similarly named Our Little Ducky.
In regards to cribs, we did a lot of research as well and decided to go with the BabyMod Roxanne.

Elliott is really cute. And I’m not saying that to be nice. Congratulations on producing such a fine looking lad!
