Melissa Sweet is my favorite children's illustrator and these alphabet cards by her are really cute.

I don't have any of that stuff. Just use French bistro glasses (pretty much unbreakable), and ceramic bowls (IKEA has extra-sturdy porcelain bowls), and glass straws (made out of Pyrex glass, so t...

I think the IKEA Gulliver crib in plain wood is the most attractive crib out there in any price range, and it has a high setting. But when your kid starts climbing, you have to put it low anyway. ...

You can only use the changing table for a couple of months and you'll be changing diapers for two years, and changing a baby up there is scary anyway because the baby might roll off. What we found...

This kind of foam is full of pthalates and not good for babies.

I use these 3M Command Picture Hanging Strips. http://www.a...

The Company Store has some for $39. http://www.thecompanystore.com/parent/Bedding Baby Bedding/5004/E1N5X_2/

Where did that little doll bunkbed come from? That is really cute.

We just had the baby sleep with us all the time, and she always slept through the night right from the start. I personally don't think it is natural to stow a baby somewhere else. Think of cavema...

Just use glass bottles. I've never had one break and they are much easier to keep clean.

And did you make the doll clothes or buy them?

P.S. One last time. It was totally nerve wracking being stuck in traffic in the airport shuttle or town car. I thought we were going to miss our flight. Consider taking the subway c...

P.S. again We also went to the Top of the Rockefeller Center to see the view from the roof with the stroller with no problem. The only bummer was that we would have liked to attend a ...

P.S. April was really cold. Get a stroller bag to keep your baby warm.

We visited New York with an 8-month old and didn't have a problem with a full sized stroller. We got a great, affordable hotel on the subway line(buckinghamhotel.com) for about 180 per night that ...

Where are those little doll clothes from? Did you make those? The fabric is beautiful!
