Lounge In Style

For probably the first 6 weeks of my new child's life, I found myself in either pajamas or lounge wear nearly all day long, everyday. It wasn't that I was being lazy or even that I was depressed. I simply wanted to be comfortable in my own space while caring for my newborn. It wasn't until my fourth child that I discovered family matching pjs at LazyOne.com. These not only allowed the comfort that I desired but also helped the others feel included in bedtime routines. This was especially important since my children were so close in age.
