It’s so funny to see how nurseries transform over time – I know that I put so much time into designating a home for every baby item, thinking where it would be easiest to reach, what I would need immediately. (ha! foolish) Some mother’s will walk into an expecting nursery & cluck their tongue, [...]

The official debut of Harrison’s nursery, after months of tears, paint touch-ups, many runs to Babies R Us, & hours of laundry folding.

My house looks like it is vomiting HJ’s nursery & gear. Literally. I have a crib in a box barricading me from my laundry room (although this is a blessing, no?). The conversion rails are balancing precariously on the arm chair downstairs. The Babycook machine arrived today, & it sits on the coffee table with two cans of formula, a stash [...]

Imagine my surprise when I scoped the Pottery Barn Kids clothing racks, only to find that they are discontinuing the “Threads” line in the stores & all of their clothing was reduced ridiculous amounts. I am beyond excited to put the kid in these on Easter 2010 errr…not [...]

is when you open up a box to find your bedding, hold it up for your husband’s approval, & he exclaims, “Now I can’t wait to put together his bed!” Pregnancy hormones + randomly sensitive husband = tears in Blair’s eyes. p.s. the bedding is even more super-cute in real life. ::swoon::

& should be here shortly so we can match some paint & get to work before the furniture arrives! I kept going back & forth, back & forth, & finally let Nate make the final call. I gave him an option of a more “mature” nautical theme, or the Baby Boats from PBK that are [...]
