When I was pregnant with my daughter, I decided that I wanted to have a bassinet for her. I thought cribs were too big, bulky and overwhelming for such a tiny baby. Furthermore, a crib couldn't exactly be squeezed into a small bedroom, or put alongside a bed. I thought
bassinets were the perfect choice, because they're small and often portable, thanks to most of them being equipped with wheels.
Well, we were both working low paying jobs at the time, had the expenses of moving and buying the more necessary
baby furniture (car seat, stroller, high chair), and so we didn't have room in our budget for a bassinet, let alone the small and often expensive
baby bedding that we would need to outfit it.
Imagine my surprise when my husband's grandmother invited us to her house when I was nine months pregnant with our daughter. She gifted us with a bassinet that was filled to the brim with baby clothes, small baby toys and baby books.
I wound up giving away the bassinet to a pregnant co-worker a year later, which coincidentally was just a few weeks shy of me getting pregnant with our son, but it worked out for the best because we were able to borrow a cradle for the first few months of his life.
Now all of the baby things are gone, including cribs, bassinets, cradles and baby bedding. My daughter is turning four in October, and my son just turned two in July. Needless to say, they're both in regular beds - twin beds!
When it came to buy baby furniture for my little ones I always wanted to be sure that they were safe, constructed well and, of course cool looking! That's why my favorite pick of the day are the ducduc cribs that are made of natural woods, meet all standards of safety, durable and made in the good ole' USA!

These bassinets are just beautiful! I have been browsing everywhere online for a simple yet, elegant bassinet for my best friend. I really wanted to give her something for her new baby that she could use and, adore! These Lulla Smith bassinets are anything but, boring. They come in soft color choices of spring green, white, pink and pale blue. I love the blue, it will go perfectly in her beige and, yellow nursery! I'm so excited to see the look on her face when this arrives on her doorstep!
