Beautiful, modern nursery in an urban condo
Things have been hopping over at The Design File and so I’m a little late with my weekly post. But I’m so excited to share this fantastic, modern nursery with you.
Noelle, an expectant mother in Indianapolis, recently sent me photos of the nursery she created with her husband, Daniel. The couple lives in the downtown [...]
Count Those Kids!
Every child loves a good game of hide and seek. There are the fun butterflies they get in their tummies when they’re waiting to be discovered and the pride they feel when they’re able to count to ten and then yelling, “Ready or not, here I come.”

Pampers and Liz Lange Diaper Clutch Giveaway
I have to admit that when I first saw the all-new Pampers Cruisers with Dry Max, I thought: “There is NO WAY I am putting this paper thin diaper on my toddler at night — I’ll be changing sheets in the morning for sure!” I figured the thin design would be nice and comfortable for [...]

It is Good to be Loved
My toddler is pretty attached to me. I love it and readily admit that fact. Because of my cool gig as a freelance writer/communications consultant, she rarely has to have a babysitter/daycare provider, so she spends most of her time with me.

Potty-training Giveaway! – CLOSED
When my son (now 11) was almost 3, we were booked to go on the Disney Cruise about a month after his birthday. To my dismay, he wasn’t potty trained yet, and kids who aren’t potty-trained don’t have as much access to the fun stuff on the Disney Cruise as those who are. We were [...]
