Dodge Boys Mom's Hooded Towels

Aww do you love this? Jack looks like a little prizefighter. He coulda been a contenda.

Dodge Boys Mom's Hooded Towel on Baby Jack by Emily Horne

This awesome hooded towel was designed and sewn by the talented Jeanette of Dodge Boys Mom on Etsy. She created this fabulous crib sheet that I use on Jack's crib all the time. I have washed it and dried it (in the dryer and on the line) weekly since receiving it and it has held up beautifully. The colors are vibrant and the construction is sturdy. The same can be said for these lovely hooded towels.

The quality of this hooded towel is excellent. The towel is big, absorbent and soft. I just love this color and the little geckos lining the hood and edges is just adorable. A note on the color- my images sucked the color out of this towel- the actual color of the towel is much closer to this image in her shop. This towel is so much better then those thin hooded towels you get in a set at your baby shower. This will be your go-to towel for the little ones for years!! For under $20, that is really sayin' something.

Dodge Boys Mom Review and Giveaway

I needed a new crib sheet, I was workin' with 3 of them, one of which I picked up at a yard sale and I am fairly sure is circa 1983, how sad. I turned to Etsy, looking for durable and unique crib bedding, and that is just what I found in Dodge Boys Mom. She makes these fantastic 100% cotton crib sheets. At first, I was going to get this Froggy sheet, to match Jack's nursery, but then I saw this Airplane print and had to have it.


These sheets have been pre-washed to prevent shrinkage and right now Dodge Boys Mom has 57 prints to choose from! Jeanette, the handcrafter behind the Etsy store doesn't just make crib sheets. She also creates bibs, burp pads, hooded towels, and tote bags! I can't even sew on a button! The construction on this sheet is sturdy: excellent quality.

I can tell it will hold up to many, many washes.



This contest has ended! Thanks to all that entered. Curious who won? Well, it was:
