Happy Friday friends!
We have so many house projects and for some reason, Alex and I really believe that we can tackle them all at the same time. It’s so funny being married to someone whose personality is so much like mine. Were both Type-A go-getters, determined and sometimes all of that zeal leads to us working ourselves to the ground. Can anyone else relate??
Now that Harrison is sleeping through the night, Alex and I are having to find a better balance when it comes to our sleep. We always plan to get to bed before 10 pm, but night after night we’re burning the midnight oil. Needless to say, we haven’t gotten as much sleep as we would like. For that reason, we turned to Mosaic weighted blankets to help us maximize our sleep.

Weighted blankets are all the hype nowadays and we wanted to test them out for ourselves. So when our friends at Mosaic reached out to us, we jumped at the opportunity. Here’s the thing, I was really skeptical about the benefits, but after trying them for the past few weeks, I am a believer! They work by applying Deep Touch Pressure (DTP) and are used to help relieve stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, restless leg syndrome as well as cardiovascular and metabolic problems.
You can read this article to see exactly how they work, but from our experience, I already see the benefits. The weight of the blanket helps me relax and feel like I’m in a comfortable cocoon and since it’s made with 100% cotton, the fabric is cool and breathable.
I also have seen the benefits of using a weighted blanket on my running recovery. Alex and I are training for a half marathon and after long runs, the pressure helps ease my restless legs and muscle twitch.
Both Emory and Haddon have weighted lap pads. They have custom graphic design options and the kids have their favorite characters on them, making it that much more fun! I’ve tested them out with the kids while they’re doing school work and watching TV and I’ve noticed that when using them, they have better focus and remain calm for longer periods. If nothing else, this is a win for me! I like the fact that Mosaic provides small lap pads for kids with different pressure, based on their height and weight and are made to order with the highest quality fabrics. They are also made right here in Texas (Huston), they are crafted from non-toxic materials and they use plastic pellets (BPA Free and hypo-allergenic) in their weighted blankets to avoid the possibility of led contamination. They’ve basically thought of everything!
Alex is still “warming up“ to the blankets but it’s mainly because he struggles with claustrophobia and can’t even sleep with my hand on his shoulder. He is, however, seeing the benefits of applying the weighted blanket to his legs after long runs and has shared that the weight helps relieve some of the tension from running.

We’re hoping to finish some of the house projects soon so we can get to bed at a decent time. I would be very interested in seeing how amazing we feel with the blankets AND a longer stretch of sleep.
