Awesome. That's so funny...I looked at this and thought--Easy! Obviously I don't have time for this everyday, even though I'm home FT, but for a birthday it wouldn't be too much work for such a big, fabulous impact! Rainbow Push Pop Cakes Simply Creative Insanity |

If you have a closet, maximize your storage so you don't have to have a dresser or armoire. We did the Container Store Elfa drawers and hanging rails to double our storage capacity...which is a good thing because there's literally no room for anything else in our room except the queen bed, two night stands, and an air filter. 5 Tips For Tiny Bedrooms |

Having visited Mabel's house myself--and am delighted to find it on AT, just by accident--I can attest that it's as cute, cozy, and smart as it looks. Ditto on the house tour...do it now before you have to babyproof it all into storage! My Room: Mabel San Francisco, CA |

I just want to clarify that I agree that it's great when parents work, when kids see their parents' work, and no...no one gives 100% of their attention all the time. (Nor should we, as our kids grow more independent.) Like Krikkit, I find it challenging to stay off the computer around my son. Like Sara B., I wonder how employers feel about someone on the clock caring for a kid...it was forbidden at my last job. Stuck In The Middle With You: Tips for Working at Home with a Child |

I realize I speak from a position of privilege, as a (mostly) stay-home mom who works outside the home 12 hrs/wk and has a PT nanny for my toddler, but I really believe a child needs undivided attention from a caregiver. Just caring for a child means you're already taking time for cooking, cleaning, caring for siblings, etc. When you're trying to work at the same time, how much time and energy do you have left for them? Is it fair to be shushed and shooed away so often? And how productive is your work really going to be? Obviously kids become more independent as they get older, and there are financial realities to be faced, but I would work VERY hard to avoid this situation....

Not the same, but I got the PB Kids anywhere chair for my 15mo boy, and he totally doesn't get it! He sits on teh floor to look at books and climbs up the chair...sigh! P'kolino Little Reader Sofa Sleeper |

I work in a big tech company with beautiful offices and lots of perks, but my favorites are the jars of Hershey's miniatures and the free cartons of milk--the perfect afternoon snack! Facebook Offices = Teenage Bedroom |

My son is 13 months and not trying to climb out of the crib but definitely needs to be contained!! And that whole feeling-displaced-by-the-baby thing, and the possibility of regressing in light of the big event...for the love of sandwiches, buy, beg, or steal a second crib!!!

I don't think that you can know what the next generation is going to like...that's part of the joy of it. I have my grandmother's name plate from when she was a bank teller...I keep it on my desk at home next to my name plate from my first job. I saw it in a box of her stuff and it spoke to me. Therein the value lies... Keepsakes For Your Kids |

I'm not a fan of the print (or the price) but I love the fact that it's interesting...I didn't get a bedding set for my son, just crib sheets, as our doctor advises against bumpers and what's the point of those quilts they give you but you can't use? But in most crib sets, the crib sheet is the solid, boring pattern so to buy it alone is pointless... Graphic Crib Sheets by Sumi Ink Club |

I don't know about other book publishers, but Chronicle Books has mega sales (50% off or more) at their office in San Francisco and online--follow them on Twitter or Facebook to get updates.

I actually don't care for the brown paper but I am all about paper straws right now--I did blue and white ones in half-pint milk cartons for my son's recent birthday. So retro sweet! Grab a Jar and Make it Your Own Good Idea |

LOVE THIS! Love the color, the bedding, the rug, the pendant, the decals (and I kinda hate decals)! And you have 7 kids? I bow to you, Madam! Lydia & Sophia's Birdhouse Nursery Small Kids, Big Color Entry #67 |
