Ventana tripod all the way...

Thanks for the comments everyone! PP & Keri: The colors used were Olympic Paint in Schooner (darker) & Splish Splash (lighter) in satin finish. And FYI, the liners were ma...

I really like this idea. I am especially intrigued by the idea of "sealing" the fabric with acrylic matte varnish. Did you use Modge Podge or something from the hardware store? Does the fabric keep...

Like others have commented about these BPA-free bottles, it's the nipple that is really bothering me. With my first child, I used Playtex Nursers w/the drop in liners. They prevented gas, I could f...

I'm in love.

visualingual--We debated the skulls but realized it was done in a way that incorporated it into the fun, natural spirit of the whole design. And you're right, in a couple of years it will be redone...

I'm with monika1--just hang good stuff in family spaces. We actually do have nice art in our child's nursery, however, it is part of own collection and has been rotated around the house. Later on, ...

I'm with you Sarah in Nola. And getting a slip cover is just as expensive. I think it would be cheaper if you just purchased the chair in the twill and had a local upholsterer or seamstress custom...

After our son started crawling we had to rearrange our living room which doubles as his playroom. In an effort to baby-proof and create a large enough central space, everything was pushed to the wa...

"i've heard that kids pull books off shelves and rip the pages out." sadly, i can confirm. we've pretty much emptied our bookshelves/shelving of everything but a couple o...

"Not only does the US have the highest maternal death rate among developed countries..." Monika1 could you tell me where you pulled this from? I didn't see that in the article so maybe...

I'm with you rayvon_avon. Me and the Mr. both have 3 siblings and we were never considered a large family, that was reserved for families with 6 children or more. Did it ...

K, I use a wipes warmer for my cloth wipes. I mix water and a bit o' Johnson's baby wash in a sports water bottle. Then I place my wipes in the warmer and squirt the solut...
