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!

I have a baby too, and I've mounted my antique frame collection with these 3M picture hanging strips.

Polyester doesn't sound good--and it seems like polyester fleece would make static shocks. I got plain white cotton flannel crib sheets at ToysRUs. They are soft like pajamas but still would be c...

So super cute! And the eagle looks a little like Homer Simpson.

You don't have to glue it to a vinyl blind. You can just staple your canvas printed with a photo (at Kinko's) to the bare tube of the roller blind, roll it up a few turns, and use it like that. Y...

Just use little stickers on a blank canvas. $30 max. And less if you use a 40 percent off coupon at Michael's!

No, I don't know anything about quilting. I just like the look of that blanket and was wondering if I could find it new somewhere. But if it has holes in it, I wouldn't cut it up--just find some ...

I just came from my friend's house and she had this MINNEN lamp from IKEA that I really liked. It doesn't look cheap in person even though it only costs $8. It comes in white, red, or blue, and p...

All that foam offgassing fire retardant and glues on upholstered chairs is not good for a baby.

It is already busy enough. Just declutter a little more, and then enjoy the serenity. Speaking as someone who has had to scrape off many textured and wallpapered walls, don't add texture to your ...

Oil cloth and vinyl and plastic have pthalates in them and are not good for kids. I ended up selling my nice Danish modern dining table and bought a marble Saarinen style one instead, and for the ...

Did you make that quilt?

Just keep baby right in the middle of the bed with you. We had a crib, but we always prefered to just keep her in bed, and she slept soundly, nursing without even waking up, and we never rolled ov...

Tea tree oil and lavender are not good for babies. Something about hormone disruptors. I forget.

I wouldn't put outdoor playsets indoors. They are probably treated with chemicals. In fact, all of the furnishings and toys should be VOC-free and nontoxic for a child with health problems.
