We have the Oxo Candela set for my son (age 2.5). We hung a small square box display shelf thingie on his wall and the nightlights live there at night. He can't reach the shelf (and therefore can't...

Why wouldn't either one of those wallpaper remnants you show look good with a navy cabinet? The yellow one would be a refreshing change from all the blues and greens in your house, and would be so ...

Kids' music is a fun gift. There are lots of choices that won't annoy baby's parents to death. For starters, check out the albums from the Land of Nod, as well as those by Barenaked Ladies and They...

It's very interesting to read about spacing children. We have an only child and it would be interesting to see another post about families with one child.

Don't make our mistake and get a paper one. We found a cute Eric Carle one that wasn't too expensive and looked awesome in our son's room. Until he turned two and ripped it off the wall. There's lo...

Genius. I have an old dining table that is way past its prime. This might be a great idea to give us some more life (and a lot more style!) out of it before we invest in a grown-up dining room tabl...

We have a two-year-old boy, and while he was learning to walk, we used painter's tape on the floor to delineate "no-no zones." We put a line in front of the TV, a line around the wine cabinet, etc....

This would be a great baby shower/new baby gift, too. Useful and almost certain not to be a duplicate gift!

The bedding makes such a dramatic statement on its own that I don't think I'd add much else in the way of nature-themed items. You'd lose what makes the bedding special and you'd wind up with too m...

I'd worry about air flow. Doesn't seem like a lot of air can get to either baby (especially the bottom-bunk baby). In the summer or winter, a baby who's uncomfortable, temperature-wise, might wake ...

I'd look for ways to put as much fabric as possible into this room. The curtain ideas mentioned above are great, and I like the idea of a tablecloth on the table next to the chair. Is there a way t...

And because every little bit counts, bring your water to a boil with a lid on the pot. That lid redirects the heat back into the pot of water, instead of letting the heat escape all over your kitchen.

Hang it up! If you don't put it in your baby's room, I'll gladly come right over and take it and hang it up at my house. That poster ROCKS. Bright and bold do not equal scary. Your baby's lucky to ...

As always, I get suspicious when I see an Ohdeedoh post fawning over an item without mentioning price. And with good reason. These prints, while lovely and whimsical, are more than $200 apiece. Gra...

At my house, we wouldn't even need to put a present inside. This little truck would be a hit all on its own!

My two-year-old son has the PBK chair and we like it. Ours is a year old and it's held up beautifully. I chose it over the Land of Nod one because I liked the square back -- it was more like the st...

Oh, E.I.F. and kimg924, thank you! Those are wonderful suggestions. Looking at the picture with this post, though, it dawned on me I will have to have at least a little wrapping...

I love clementines. So does my two-year-old son. He would eat six clementines a day if I let him. We are halfway through our first box of the season and expect to be heading back for Box #2 ...

I reeeeeeeeeally like wrapping presents. A lot . But buying wrapping paper is expensive and not at all environmentally responsible. Any good suggestions for pretty , green ways to wrap ...

Glitter! If you use just one color and you get that nice fine glitter (instead of the big-speck multicolored glitter that preschoolers use), that's all you need to make ANYTHING look spectacular en...
