Prettiest Baby Cradle

Let's talk classic style for a moment.  This antique-inspired cradle from Bratt Decor is so pretty it will simply become the favorite item in your baby's new room. The Chelsea cradle will sweetly rock your babe to sleep--but when slumber has been achieved put on the anti-rock/locking mechanism that renders the cradle stationary.

I learned about her weight loss journey at a Jenny Craig event in NYC.
