Today I am sharing some things that are very near and dear to my heart! Thanks for stopping by for these NICU smocks and a Stashbuilder Box review!

NICU Smocks – Plus Stash Builder Box Review

Stash Builder Box provided the box to me free of charge to review. My opinions are my own and I will never recommend items to you that I don’t love myself.

This post is very personal to me so I appreciate you being here! Both my little guys have done a lot of time “inside.” My oldest son spent 3 weeks in the NICU and more months than I can count in the PICU. My youngest son has also spent about 6 months of his life in the PICU. To say that we are hospital pros is an understatement. The hospital is a cold and sad place. There are a lot of machines and everything is sanitized. People come into your room wearing crazy gowns and masks and they put on gloves. What I am getting at is that it is not a very personal place to be!

One thing I always appreciated was the personal touches that people had donated for my kiddos to use. Whether that was pillowcases or blankets it was always so special to have something that felt more like home!

Let me say that I am in no way trying to toot my own horn, this topic just happened to fit perfectly with the Stashbuilder Box that I got in the mail! Being a hospital veteran I love to give back to try and make “newbies” feel more at home and ease their time in the hospital in some small way. (If you want to support me in this cause you can check out THIS PAGE.)

So I don’t have anything original to share when it comes to the NICU smocks and let me tell you why. When I reached out to the hospital they had very specific things that they were looking for and they already had patterns that they wanted me to utilize. These are the two patterns that they sent me. NICU Friendly Smock and Hospital Baby Gown. I would definitely reach out to the hospital you are interested in donating to before you start making these though because the requirements are different for every hospital!!

The second thing I want to talk about is the Stash Builder Box! The reason these two things go together is because this box has the motto “a box with a cause!” 20% of proceeds from every box purchase goes towards making quilts for kids in need! When I spoke with them a few weeks ago they were collecting crib quilts for Mission Fiji! They frequently pick different groups and charities to donate quilts to. You can learn more HERE.

When I opened the box I had to laugh because several of the items were things I had recommended to you in my Sewing Gadgets You Never Knew Existed post. Great minds think alike I suppose!

Everything in the box was fun and adorable! I have a few friends who would love the “scrappy litter” quilt don’t tell them because they are probably getting one for Christmas! The fabric is precious, I can’t wait to get my hands on it and I am for sure going to frame the fun quote! My verdict…LOVE the Stash Builder Box! I do a lot of sewing shopping so this was a fun treat to have the decisions made for me and have an adorable curated box come straight to my door! I will definitely play again! Plus I love a philanthropic business don’t you??
