Best Kids Parties: Janelle MonĂ¡e My Party

my almost 2 year old loves that piggy bank too.

She's also been a fan of the duplo blocks and her play kitchen stuff. the one toy she got for xmas and seems to love the most, however is the melissa and doug cookie set. it's become a favorite right before bed and while the cookies "bake" we can wrangle her into her jammies.

everything else is fairly rotational. We also take advantage of kids consignment sales for toys so i pick up a bunch for between $2-10 a pop and rotate it or if it seems to be a dud just stick it in the next sale and get our money back. love those sales :)

if you are handy (or know someone who is) something like this could be easily sized to fit and painted any number of colors - lowe's sells paint samples at $3 each to finish them up.

nursery's are designed for parents... not babies so don't stress out and don't forget that when someone comes into the nursery they are not looking at your lights or rug but that cute little bundle in the crib. so don't stress. the most important element the baby cares about is a quality mattress so they are safe and comfy and that they get clean diapers and fed :)

i think there are better ways to secure your passwords -- this is kinda overkill and well, pretentious.

a colleague of mine does a preemie clothing drive annually and donates the clothes to area nicu for parents.... no one really plans for preemies when buying baby stuff... so maybe sending her some preemie outfits would be helpful.

I have one from crate and barrel i picked up a few years ago that is similar to the OXO one but smaller. I don't mine the longer strands and usually mince them afterwards. i like it takes up almost no space in my tool drawer and is super fast and easy to use... same with clean up.

i have to laugh at the comments about the crazy wallpaper... um, tastes are very different in other parts of the world guys... if nothing else, it is interesting how the space's problems were tackled.

we painted our bedroom in this lovely cool, silvery blue paint I picked up at lowes, when the sun streams in it is completely lovely and should work great with your other items.

normally love bright electric colors but in my bedroom i want something tranquil and soothing. a place to relax.

I used to beg my mom to make them for me when i was a kid. since then I have turned an number of naysayers

slice in half, parboil them in salty water; in a pan, toss in some bacon, drain some of the fat and reserve the bacon; cook with the parboiled sprouts until a little golden brown; add bacon to serving dish with sprouts.

awesome...
