This room is more grown up than my own and I'm 34 years old. Love it, it's beautiful, but I'd never peg it for a kid's room.

I have kids and this STILL seems ridiculous.

I'm a big believer in exposing kids to dirt. When we go to the post office, I often let my baby crawl around on the floor if my toddler is being particularly difficult and the line is long. I alway...

These are great. For those who might be curious, sandpaper letters are a Montessori method for preparing kids for writing. The idea is to have the kids trace the letters with their finger, thus the...

We have the same dilemma, only ours is a gas fireplace with the fake logs and rocks that leave black stains on you if you touch them. Things I've considered so far: 1. Having a piece...

I actually just blogged about this yesterday: http://meamom.blogspot.com/2008/11/pom-poms.html I introduced pom poms when...

Stark for sure. Definitely not my style but the color combo is excellent.

I have both the crib and the dresser. The crib was a snap to put together. The dresser on the other hand... Well, let's just say the thing arrived in 222 pieces. I don't exaggerate; I actually co...

I have the poster and love it.

I am fond of the combos in our house - all porter paint: Oxford white (a very pale blue-gray) Dried Thyme (a wonderful sage green) Spring Meadow (a warm gender neutral yell...

Not a suggestion per se but an observation. I was worried about this too but once the baby arrived, my cat wanted nothing to do with the crib or the baby. I know all cats are different but you mig...

My recommendation is to look for something that's got a voice activation feature. That way you're not hearing the hum of a fan or whatever all night. Also look for one that has lots of different c...

Anyone know a ballpark cost of Hable fabric per yard? I know it's only available trade only but I'm curious of the cost before I search out a designer to get it for me...

Okay, I guess I'm in the minority here but I don't like this. I find it weird to have the bookcase on one end - looks lopsided or something. I don't know...good in concept but not in execution?

Those softies are pretty darn cute, but i love it all.

I think yellow is only bad if it's super bright and saturated. Personally, I love the yellow we ended up using - it's like a neutral but better. We used Spring Meadow from the Porter Paints line....

This disappoints me on so many levels.

This is just sad. I knew a family growing up who named their son Bubba. Yes, you read that right. Four years later they legally changed his name to Skyler. While I would never saddle a child with t...

Well, I had huge dairy cravings when I was pregnant with my first daughter. I drank about a gallon of milk every two days, and ate large amounts of cheese. My daughter ended up having intolerance t...

That link to the simo playpen isn't working for me...
