Lawson's Sheepskins Baby Rug Review

Lawson Sheepskins

The Lawson Farm was born in 1980 where Pat and Laura Lawson along with their daughter, Suzanne had 88 acres of open land in Culpeper, VA with a house and a small barn as well. The Lawson's spent 2 years fencing and cross fencing with electrified wire to create 10 paddocks on 45 acres to rotational graze sheep. Freeze proof waterers and sheds were also constructed in each paddock. Along with orchard grass and red clover planting for grazing. The additional 35 acres were planted in alfalfa, which is then cut for winter hay.

The Lawson's began making apparel from sheepskin and selling them to friends and at local craft shows in 1984. This business grew rapidly and today Lawson Sheepskins are sold at major arts and craft shoes, through mail orders as well as on their website Lawson's Sheepskins.

Sheepskin Baby Rug/Pad

Sheepskin Baby Pad ($124ARV) can be used as a cushiony pad for baby to sleep on or as a rug for baby to play on. This baby pad is a short pile sheepskin with an ultra high density of one and a half inches of wool fiber length. You can use these in playpens, strollers, car seats, on picnics and so much more! It is made in the USA. This large baby pad measures approximately 30" by 42". Air circulates through the wool fibers making the baby pad warm in the winter and cool in the summer, it is also urine resistant.

I have our sheepskin baby pad in Ezio's pack n play, where he sleeps. I just lay him directly on the sheepskin and he seems to really love it. The unique shape of the sheepskin pad is great as his head lays at the left and then he sleeps with his legs all over the place to the right. He was having trouble sleeping and it may be coincidence, but once we received this pad he seemed to sleep so much better. This sheepskin pad is so soft, I want one for my own bed!  

Even the kittens love it! Since we have hardwood floors I often bring this out and place it on the floor for the kids to sit on while playing so it's a bit more comfortable. When the kids run off to play else where the kittens don't miss a beat and are on the pad within minutes and sound asleep! The small Sheepskin Baby Pad would make a great pet bed. I was a bit nervous when they were first sniffing it out, but they just wanted to sleep on it. 

It fits a 2 year old, 8 year old and two kittens! lol. When Ezio is barefoot, he likes squeezing his toes in the wool, kind of like when your at the beach and move your toes and dig them into the sand. We all really like the sheepskin baby pad and I can't wait until I can get a large sheepskin rug for my living room! I bet it would keep my feet nice and warm in the winter. We live in an old house and have horrible drafts during the winter, plus we live at the end of a t-intersection so the wind hitting the front of our house is absolutely horrible! Anyhow, back to this baby pad! Sometimes Ezio prefers to sleep in just a diaper, he has food allergies we are trying to figure out and he often has hives on his body which I believe clothes make him more itchy or possibly could be a bit painful so with this mat, I feel better about putting him to sleep in just a diaper during the winter as the wool pad along with his organic cotton blanket will keep him nice and warm, but at the same time the wool pad won't cause him to over heat if he is wearing a fleece sleeper like in the photos above. 

With this fleece pad it's really a win, win situation! What better then all of the above out of one natural product? I have definitely found a new form of love with wool/sheepskin! I never had experience with wool until we started cloth diapering and it is amazing for diapering as well as clearing up rashes and such, but now discovering the softness of sheepskin and how it has the same abilities it's just that much more awesome!

• drapes beautifully; never sags and retains shape.
• is static-free.
• is flame resistant.

Classic Tall Sheepskin Boots

Heavenly Soles Classic Tall Sheepskin Boots ($195ARV) available in 4 colors, Sand, Chestnut, Chocolate and Black. They are of about mid-calf height and so very soft and comfortable! These boots have an Australian heritage which dates back to the 1900's. The wool properties of genuine Twin Faced Sheepskin upper wicks moisture away from your feet to ensure that your feet stay warm when the weather is cold and cool when the weather is warm! Wool is really magical for many different purposes. These boots were first made popular by the Australian Surfers and it is now one of the most popular boot styles world wide today!

I am in love with these boots! I've never really been a fan of boots of any kind, really I much prefer to be barefoot and not even wear socks. Yes, even in the freezing cold, Wisconsin winter months! However, I rarely take these off and when I do, I quickly remember just how cold it really is. They are a bit snug at first, but just like any other shoe they will stretch and form more to your foot. In fact these will probably even more or better as they are made of sheepskin! I've never owned anything sheepskin and I all I can do is continue to ask myself WHY I have not owned anything made of sheepskin prior to these boots. I have quickly began to appreciate the sheepskin for it's warmth as well as it's "wicking" abilities as they have kept my feet warm and dry. This is pretty important if you don't want to walk around the grocery store or wherever your going after putting your child in the car, on the passenger side of the vehicle on a city street where the curb is ankle deep in snow! Oh, being able to sit down in the car without frozen toes and not having to walk funny through the store or wherever our errands have landed us are definitely a plus! As a mother of three and two of those three being toddlers, I really have no time to waste! The boys of course don't like being tossed back and forth, in and out of their car seats and shopping carts or even our carrier so the faster I can move and get things done the happier everyone will be. The mid-calf height is also great for this as snow is much less likely to drop into or fill your shoe.

Jedilynn, my nearly 8 year old daughter is not all to pleased with me that these boots are not hers. She received a pair of fuzzy boots for Christmas last year and loved them, but as she seems to be in a CONTINUOUS growth spurt they no longer fit her. She so badly wants and has tried to guilt trip me into giving them to her a few times now by asking me, "What? Do you want my feet to freeze when I'm waiting for the bus in the morning?" and so on. She is my sassy girl. I may let her try them on and see how big they are on her. I am able to fit my feet into her size 5 shoes! 

I wear a size 9 in mens, I usually wear mens shoes as most womens shoes are too narrow and/or just too girly for my liking. I wear the same size in these boots, size 9 in mens which is a size 10 in womens. They fit me great and I know I will have them "broken in" in no time.
