So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

What to Look for in a Baby Friendly Sofa

By James Jacks


When it comes to choosing furniture for your home, you have to make sure that it can handle all the wear and tear of your family. One of the core pieces that you have to think about is your sofa. If you have young children, you should look for baby friendly sofas as they are designed to make them easy to clean and made so that they can handle rough treatment.

The first thing that you should look for when it comes to buying sofas is the type of material it uses. A lot of people want to go with leather but it can be advised against, depending on the situation. It is difficult to treat stains on leather and it can wear out faster than other materials. Leather can easily rip, crack, and the colour can really fade away if you have a lot of movement on it due to children.

Microfibre with sleeves that you can take off is a better option. You can wash the fibre and the sleeves with water and it is easier to get rid of set in stains. If you get one with sleeves, then you may also get it replaced if the manufacturer sells them separately. When buying microfibre, look at what kind of cleaning solutions are suited for the fabric as each manufacturer may recommend a different one.

The second thing you want to think about is colour. If you want something low maintenance, then it's advised that you avoid light colours such as white, cream, and beige. Stains and dirt will be more visible on these colours so it is a better idea to go with darker ones. You'll still be cleaning your sofa just not as often.

Just because you are going with a lighter coloured sofa doesn't mean that the colour itself needs to be dark. There are different shades of blue, green, red, and other colours. There is a wide selection so you will likely find a colour that will complement the rest of your furniture.

Finally, you will want to go with a sofa that provides enough space. Rather than get a set that provides just enough space for your family, you will want some extra room so there's less fighting and everyone is comfortable! This is something a lot of parents don't think about but should be taken into consideration.

You'll find that some sets offer significant discounts if you are buying bigger sofas and extra additions. So that means that you can still get a good deal on sofas even though you are spending more money on getting extra seats for your sofa sets.

So those are some ground ideas for baby and child friendly sofas. You have to remember that accidents are bound to happen so you want to think about this beforehand. Many people regret buying expensive sofas only to see them crack, rip, and fade within months as a result of their children's spillage accidents and playing.
