If I made up a list of my top ten favorite products of all time, the Neat Sheet would probably make it into that list.  I'm on my third summer of using this product and its versatility is undeniable.  So what is it?

The Neat Sheet's basically a blanket, or ground cover.  It's a thin water-repellent sheet with many possibilities.  Here's what we use it for:

The beach.  It's thin, it's cool and it repells the water and sand.  It's so light that it's easy to lift it up and shake off sand whenever we need to.

The park.  I own both the family and single size - I definitely recommend the family size though.  It folds up small, is easy to carry or stick in the bottom basket of a stroller, and it's great on the grass.  It seems like we always have several Moms and kids sitting on ours.  And it's great for a picnic - and because it repells water, it also repells juice spills too.

You can also use it for sports event (sitting on the sidelines), your backyard or about a hundred other outside events.

The Single size covers 30 square feet (two adults, two kids fit well) and the Family Size 70 square feet.  Like I said, I recommend the Family Size because I feel like you might as well - there's no harm in having the bigger one for a smaller group (if it's just me and the boys I sometimes fold it in half)

It also cleans up really well - I throw it in the washer and dryer and it's good as new.  And even if it weren't good as new, it would be worth it - it's affordable, light and not upsetting if it gets ruined.

So up until this year it's only come in blue (dark blue on one side, light blue on the other) but apparently they are coming out with new colors - fun!  Check it out on the Neat Sheet site.  I got mine at Babies R Us but they carry it all over the place, including online at Drugstore.com (where it's currently 12-20% off, depending on the size you purchase).
