I love Ed Emberley. I bought a whole set of his book for my daughter for christmas. He also has a book that uses cut up circles which we used to discuss fractions. Rediscovering Ed Emberley |

It doesn't happen often for me. I think once you become a parent, personal comfort goes out the window. I'm usually too busy to notice how sick I am. On those odd times that I'm down for the count, but my little one is going strong, I open up my closet of goodies. I keep a stash of stuff for sick days and snowstorms. During the christmas selling season I stock up on extra DVDs, games, crafts & the ever popular video games. I usually feel guilty afterwards, but it is a savior while I'm "in the moment".

I'm with the editor's comments. I never owned one. Our main trash can was easily within reach, so anything extra toxic went right out. Also as an adult without kids, its hard to imagine the extraneous body fluids one gets used to with having kids around.

I'm with sb3891. Its fine for someone who has other children and have been child rearing at least once, but I see posts from people about to have their first child who may or may not know the dangers of suffocation, etc. Another problem is that often you don't may not know you have 'one of those kids' until there is a problem until it happens.

beebalmj - good point about pinched fingers. I must have a curious child I guess. Everything in the house has safety latches on it. LOL If her closet was without doors she would probably be spending time rummaging through it rather than sleeping. Removing Closet Doors in the Nursery | Apartment Therapy Ohdeedoh |

My question to those that have removed the doors.. Do they go back up later? What happens when the infant becomes a toddler and starts pulling stuff out of the closet? They grow up fast! Removing Closet Doors in the Nursery | Apartment Therapy Ohdeedoh |

I also forgot to mention.. that we also purchased a duvet and comforter (toddler size) from the company store as well. Great quality.. but by the time she was settled enough to use it at night she was too tall to stay warm. Total waste of money for us. Duvet vs. Comforter for a Toddler?

my dd is 5 now, but she just kicked all blankets off until about age 3 or so. We tried the duvet cover, even bought a fairly expensive one, but it didn't work well for us. At age 4 we tried a duvet on her twin, the comforter would bunch a little and the duvet would get twisted... probably because she is an active sleeper. I finally relented and bought a cheap comforter and threw another blanket on top. One other thought.. if you think you are going to save the comforter insert from washes, you might want to rethink. Between toddler and youth, unless you wash weekly, your comforter might be hitting the laundry for bed wetting & illness vs just getting dirty, the insert will still see lots of wash wear. At least thats our experience. Duvet vs. Comforter for a Toddler? Good Questions | Apartment Therapy Ohdeedoh |

For as bad as they look, they wash up like a charm. One bad day (or should I say daily) with a bottle and practicality rules. Whatever you use, make sure you can wash it! Ideas To Make This Diaper Bag Cooler? Good Questions | Apartment Therapy Ohdeedoh |

What? LOL I hope there are age recommendations. Teaching my daughter how to safely manage a fire is pretty laughable. She is far too curious not to 'experiment'. 50 Dangerous Things (You Should Let Your Children Do) | Apartment Therapy Ohdeedoh |

I have a 5 year old and I say go for it. The worst that will happen is that you have to take them down for a few months if 'no' doesn't work (or pin them up as another posted wrote). Every child is different. I think the worst thing you should worry about is avoiding white... because no matter how much you try little hand are never always clean. :) Full Length Curtains in Kids' Rooms?Good Questions | Apartment Therapy Ohdeedoh |

I certainly let my child watch tv... but if she can't read the numbers & station to change the channel (she isn't old enough), then I don't want her to have that much control over the tv & certainly NOT the volume. iMote Eliminates Extra Options For Tiny Tots | Apartment Therapy Ohdeedoh |

It looks like one of the Ikea beds. There are a few other companies that make low bunks, we have one. Nicholas's Orange Slice BedroomSmall Kids, Big Color Entry #34 | Apartment Therapy Ohdeedoh |

Nice concept... but every toy my child has is bigger than a bread box. I'd go crazy if she has some little widget to fit each hole. Apartment Therapy Ohdeedoh | Inspiration: Big Toy Storage for Big Toy Collections |

I have to be honest... this set up is a little mystifying to me unless it is a temporary set up. I like how you can close the crib off with the drapes... but there are alot of safety issues with the set up & safety is rarely the first thing that catches my eye. A standing infant can get into alot of trouble. The hooks in the wall are at young toddler height. Yikes. Apartment Therapy Ohdeedoh | The Ikea Hacked (Dining Room) Nursery |
