May I introduce you our brand new milk collection, made with the softest organic cotton and completely gender neutral. You can find it online on our website <a href="http://www.lelaitbaby.com/">www.lelaitbaby.com</a>.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">My day was amazing. Up before dawn, took a 20-minute run, did some ab work, then moved into the kitchen. Had a moment of quiet and wrote out my list. Short today, really — after all, yesterday I accomplished so much. Then I started prepping that homemade oatmeal recipe I found on Pinterest, with organic berries and cream. Got coffee brewing, took a shower, did my hair perfectly, put my makeup on, and dressed like I was the makeover version of the person on <span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">What Not to Wear</span>. Just then, right on the dot, the little ones let out a lovely "Morning, Momma" cry of joy, and I skipped to their room, ready and polished for my day.</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In reality? A good day, with those toddlers around, would be getting one, maybe even two or three, of all those things on the list accomplished, and that's working hard all day long. I've come to realize that this supermom thing is just a fallacy that so many of us chase day after day after day.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Let's stop trying to be supermom!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Parenting takes work. Parenting little ones takes a tremendous amount of work. There are no breaks in the mothering day when you have an always-busy 2-year-old wandering around. There are no awards for "Best Mothering Save" in the afternoon when you grab that marker from the 3-year-old's hand just as he's about to add a mustache to the baby. You <a href="http://sweetlittlenursery.blogspot.com.tr/2015/01/survival-tips-for-returning-to.html" target="_blank">work and work and work</a>. But you live in a world where motherhood has this amazingly glamorous image.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We're supposed to have parties with children in white dresses and red fruit punch and twinkling lights and an amazing cake that looks like it was made by Duff from <span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Ace of Cakes</span>. What happened to the days of cupcakes from a box and Pin the Tail on the Donkey and water fights with the hose? They're still there. We just have to let go of the supermom ideal.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What you do as a mother day in and day out is amazing. Wiping noses, changing diapers, cooking dinners for people who don't like what you make, reading books — often the same one, again and again, cleaning floors, folding laundry, driving to and fro, chasing after toddlers at the park, blowing bubbles on the deck, and going without sleep. All of that stuff is amazing. It matters. That's a real supermom.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So these days, these ultrabusy days with those toddlers hanging around, you just remember that those Pinterest images, magazine articles, blog posts and such, they're just a snippet of someone's day. Who knows? It might have taken hours of prep and a great deal of mess to get that one picture perfectly pinned.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Do you want to know what really matters? Truly? It's being there for your kids.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Being the one who they come running to after they wipe out on their bike. Being the one that they want to sit and snuggle with in the morning. Being the mom who doesn't cry over spilled milk. Or over cereal on her freshly cleaned floors. Being the mom who just keeps trying. Day after day after day. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They want <em style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">you</em>. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Not supermom.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She's a fallacy anyways. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Get ready for a whole lot of cute! Vivien Jordan of <a href="http://vivjordan.com/" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">The Eclectic Press</a> sent us this darling stop-motion pregnancy announcement she created with her husband <a href="http://jonjordan.com/" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">Jon</a> and they really, truly could not be any cuter in this video. It starts out with each of them showing things they love, and then Vivien uses her design skills to draw out the news on their chalkboard wall. After that they break into a little dance party at the joyful news. Too sweet! They used the the stop motion app iMotionHD to make it possible. Check it out below!</span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #666666; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<img alt="Whimsical Circus Themed Baby Shower" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27930" height="729" src="http://www.thelittleumbrella.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/circus-shower-1.jpg" style="border: 0px; box-shadow: none; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto 4px; max-width: 548px; outline: none !important; vertical-align: middle;" title="Whimsical Circus Themed Baby Shower" width="1096" /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We've seen the circus theme done so many ways, but never have we seen it pulled off in such an upscale and sophisticated way! This baby shower designed by Belinda Lui of <a href="http://booktevents.com/" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">Bookt Events</a> for her own sister is whimsical and fun with just the right touch of glam. Belinda found inspiration in the gorgeous invitations by <a href="http://www.sugar-press.com/" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">Sugar Press</a> and carried that look and feel throughout the whole event. The decor was full of surprises, from creatively detailed floral arrangements by <a href="http://www.frenchbuckets.com/" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">French Buckets</a> in bright primary colors that included gilded birdcages, ceramic zoo animals and miniature flags, to an array of vibrant paper lanterns hanging outside. The outdoor area was transformed into a big top tent draped in royal blue and ivory white taffeta, bringing a huge visual impact.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Guests were treated to a delicious menu by <a href="http://www.24carrots.com/" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">24 Carrots Catering</a>, that included a gourmet tea sandwich station. For some extra yumminess, guests enjoyed circus inspired treats like truffled parmesan popcorn, mini funnel cakes and caramel apples. A carousel cake by <a href="http://www.wonderlandbakery.com/" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">Wonderland Bakery</a> made for a beautiful addition to the dessert table. </span></div>

An Easter basket is a quintessential part of this springtime holiday's celebration.<br />
Here are three tips to designing the perfect basket every kid will love. </div>
</div>
<div class="detail_photo" style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 384px;">
<img alt="3 Tips for Creating the Perfect Easter Basket" src="http://www.potterybarnkids.com/pkimgs/rk/images/i/201508/0003/images/design-studio/articles/img_perfect-easter-basket_1.jpg" style="border: 0px none; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;" /></div>
</div>
<div class="template_list" style="border: 0px; color: #636363; float: right; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; width: 798px;">
<div class="template_item left" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(188, 188, 188); border-bottom-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(188, 188, 188); border-top-style: solid; border-width: 1px 0px; clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 40px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; position: relative;">
<div class="item_txt" style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 25px 0px 0px; width: 293px;">
<h2 style="border: 0px; color: #68a1d5; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: normal; height: auto; letter-spacing: 0.09em; line-height: 20px; margin: 40px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; text-transform: uppercase; width: 293px;">
1. THINK OUTSIDE THE BASKET.</h2>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.4em; padding: 0px;">
Traditional rattan baskets are beautiful, but don't be afraid to do something different. A colorful metal bucket personalized with kids' names is just as fun – plus, it lends a slightly industrial touch, which can be a nice contrast to Easter's typical pastels and brights. </div>
</div>
<div class="item_img" style="border: 0px; float: right; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 480px;">
<img alt="" src="http://www.potterybarnkids.com/pkimgs/rk/images/i/201508/0003/images/design-studio/articles/img_perfect-easter-basket_2.jpg" style="border: 0px none; display: block; float: right; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /></div>
</div>
<div class="template_item right" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(188, 188, 188); border-bottom-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(188, 188, 188); border-top-style: solid; border-width: 1px 0px; clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 40px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; position: relative;">
<div class="item_img" style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 470px;">
<img alt="" src="http://www.potterybarnkids.com/pkimgs/rk/images/i/201508/0003/images/design-studio/articles/img_perfect-easter-basket_3.jpg" style="border: 0px none; display: block; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /></div>
<div class="item_txt" style="border: 0px; float: right; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 20px 0px 0px; width: 308px;">
<h2 style="border: 0px; color: #68a1d5; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: normal; height: auto; letter-spacing: 0.09em; line-height: 20px; margin: 40px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; text-transform: uppercase; width: 308px;">
2. CREATE A CLEAN CANVAS TO SHOWCASE THE BOUNTY.</h2>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.4em; padding: 0px;">
To show off dyed-egg masterpieces and pretty Easter gifts, stick to mostly neutral baskets. A creamy white basket fitted with a decorative white liner offers a simple, clean approach, while white Easter grass – rather than the shiny green variety – highlights the basket's bounty. </div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="template_item left" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(188, 188, 188); border-bottom-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(188, 188, 188); border-top-style: solid; border-width: 1px 0px; clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 40px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; position: relative;">
<div class="item_txt" style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 25px 0px 0px; width: 293px;">
<h2 style="border: 0px; color: #68a1d5; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: normal; height: auto; letter-spacing: 0.09em; line-height: 20px; margin: 40px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; text-transform: uppercase; width: 293px;">
3. MAKE IT PERSONAL.</h2>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.4em; padding: 0px;">
Choose a liner for each child's basket based on the colors and patterns they love. Also, have each embroidered with their name to give everyone their own special look. </div>
</div>
<div class="item_img" style="border: 0px; float: right; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 480px;">
<img alt="" src="http://www.potterybarnkids.com/pkimgs/rk/images/i/201508/0003/images/design-studio/articles/img_perfect-easter-basket_4.jpg" style="border: 0px none; display: block; float: right; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.02em; line-height: 23px; padding: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Alex said this about the party</strong>- “My third little girl celebrated her first birthday in April and being around Easter we thought what better than to have a gorgeous pastel themed Easter party! It was a garden party with lots of prettiness and lots of fun!</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A special appearance by the Easter Bunny himself was a highlight for the kids, as was the real white fluffy bunny which spent the afternoon hoping around.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A beautiful 2 tier Cake was the show stopper of the dessert table. Made by the talented Sweet Tiers it featured a beautiful Bunny figurine topper. All of the guests were amazed it was fondant and many thought it was a real porcelain figurine. Other treats included buttercream ruffled cupcakes in pastel shades of lemon, pink, mint and blue. And the most amazing and detailed Cookies by the super amazing cookie artist Kookie Krumbs by Kirstie. They were like tiny portraits, delicately detailed and definitely too good beautiful to eat!<br />The children’s setting featured rattan chairs which suited the garden feel to a tea.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Each guest received a keepsake hankie designed by Ham&Pea Paperie which featured the Winnie the Pooh quote ‘You are braver then you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think’.”</span></div>

The more warm days I see the more comfortable I get. Surely we’re almost out of the woods for cold and flu season, right? Wrong. So this year I am staying diligent until the very bitter end. July. Just kidding, but here are our favorites </span><span style="letter-spacing: 1.600000023841858px; line-height: 20px;"> for getting us through those heartbreaking days of extra cuddles and extra bowls and sheets.

<div style="letter-spacing: 1.600000023841858px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">First, <strong style="margin: 0px;">PREVENTION.</strong> An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, as they say. I am a firm believer in putting my efforts in keeping my kids’ immune systems strong. Allowing and insisting that they get plenty of sleep. Disinfecting and keeping their spaces clean and aired out. Feeding them as many healthy whole foods as I can each day, and I’ve shared this before but I will share it every time because I absolutely swear by it: Buried Treasure’s <a href="http://bit.ly/1JRY4mF" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.1s linear 0s; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.1s linear 0s;" target="_blank">Acute Cold and Flu.</a> It’s is packed with nutrients and herbs to boost your immune system and while it’s awesome to take when you’re<em style="margin: 0px;"> sick</em>, I give it to my kids every few days to keep them extra strong when they’re <em style="margin: 0px;">well</em>. I mix a tablespoon into a quarter cup of grape juice and then freeze it into popsicles. I can barely choke this stuff down plain, but in grape juice it tastes great. My kids will eat the whole batch in one sitting – but it has to be grape.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 1.600000023841858px; line-height: 20px;">I don’t throw this phrase around lightly because I’m superstitious and they used to be sick all the dang time, but my kids get sick (including a runny nose) maybe once a year since I started this stuff a couple years ago. For the popsicles, I use squeezable </span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/17BQcE4" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.1s linear 0s; font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 1.600000023841858px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.1s linear 0s;" target="_blank">popsicle molds</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 1.600000023841858px; line-height: 20px;">, I love that I can lay them flat, stick them in whatever crevice is available in my freezer. Trying to store those upright 6 packs are nearly impossible at my house. Speaking of runny nose, a great way keep them cear while they have it is to spray this awesome <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Little-Remedies-Sterile-Saline-Nasal/dp/B001M0XL1C/ref=pd_sim_hpc_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1F8M17CPSY2G4PR2TS43" target="_blank">Little Remedies Saline Mist</a> in their nose and use the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/NoseFrida-The-Snotsucker-Nasal-Aspirator/dp/B00171WXII/ref=pd_bxgy_hpc_img_y" target="_blank">NoseFrida</a> to </span></span><span style="letter-spacing: 1.600000023841858px; line-height: 20px;">unstuffed it. Works like a charm every time.</span></div>
<div style="letter-spacing: 1.600000023841858px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Second, you’ve probably read Jenna’s awesome essential oil recipes (see below), they’re another really great addition to preventing illness and also helping treat it. Diffusing oils like On Guard throughout the house is great for maintaining a strong immune system. We all have<a href="http://bit.ly/1E11907" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.1s linear 0s; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.1s linear 0s;" target="_blank"> this pretty diffuser</a> and love it!</span></div>

This thermometer works in tandem with the Kinsa smart phone app. The thermometer never dies, has an extension cord and reads in 10 seconds. It stores the readings in profiles for each kid and you can keep track of their stats right in the app. We also think the “Group” feature is so cool, you can join a group like a school shown below and see what is happening, being passed around, and how long to expect an illness to last in your community.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-top: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Seattle photographer Cheryl Jones has been snapping pregnancy pictures for a decade, but these definitely aren’t your typical <a href="http://blogs.babycenter.com/mom_stories/13-of-the-08152014-prettiest-pregnancy-pictures-youve-ever-seen/" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">maternity photo shoots</a>.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-top: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are no flowery backdrops, no misty-eyed, motherly stares off into the distance. And there’s not a maternity mumu in sight.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-top: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Cheryl’s company <a href="http://www.belleboudoirphoto.com/" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Belle Boudoir Photography </a>caters to the expectant mom who’s ready to embrace her sexy side – bump and all. Her models are bold, beautiful and clad in little more than lingerie. Yes, they’re very pregnant, but they’re also seriously sexy. It seems the two aren’t mutually exclusive after all.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-top: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Boudoir photography has been on the rise for quite some time now, and it’s recently seen a surge among moms-to-be. The photos are intimate, revealing, sensual, romantic. Sometimes they’re snapped with a husband or partner in mind, a slightly naughty gift for a loved one. Other times they’re empowering, a bold boost to a woman’s self-confidence.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-top: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Cheryl gave us her take on the appeal of a boudoir-inspired pregnancy photo shoot, saying, “Traditional maternity photography aims to capture a relationship between the soon-to-be born baby, their mother, and other family members. My boudoir-inspired maternity photography aims to capture the artistry of a woman during her pregnancy. The focus is on her shape, her movements, and her beauty.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-top: 12px;">

<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We’ve followed “The Guncles” Bill Horn and Scout Masterson’s growing family for their daughter’s <a href="http://projectjunior.com/2014/06/vintage-puppy-birthday-party/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">sweet birthday parties</a> and <a href="http://projectnursery.com/2014/03/chic-pink-and-green-big-girl-room/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">big girl room makeover</a>. We are so pleased to be showing off their latest adventure—baby Bosley, or Boz for short. When we congratulated them on the news of their baby boy, we couldn’t wait to get a peek at the nursery, and it did not disappoint. So please join us as we take a tour around the space and hear about a few of the details from the happy dads themselves.</span><span style="color: #777777; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span id="more-360527" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;"></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; color: #777777; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<img alt="Dragon Theme Nursery" class="aligncenter wp-image-360533 size-full" src="http://projectnursery.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Baby-Boz-5.jpg" height="2051" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 1.5em auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" title="Dragon Theme Nursery" width="3072" /></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We discussed many, many themes, but we didn’t want to duplicate someone else’s look, and we didn’t want to pick a current trend. We were searching cool wallpapers online and came across this amazing <a href="http://www.paperboywallpaper.co.uk/childrens-wallpaper/ere-be-dragons" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">medieval castle and dragons design</a> from Paper Boy London. We had the wallpaper and some of the matching fabric shipped stateside, and the whole look of the room came together from there. Boz loves to stare at the wallpaper.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; color: #777777; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<img alt="Dragon Wallpaper in Gray and Blue Nursery" class="aligncenter wp-image-360534 size-full" src="http://projectnursery.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Boz-Room.jpg" height="2068" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 1.5em auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" title="Dragon Wallpaper in Gray and Blue Nursery" width="3072" /></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We painted the book wall the same dark blue color of the castles and dragons in the wallpaper. We had the other two walls painted a very, very pale blue to match the background of the paper and serve as a slight contrast to room’s moldings, shutters and stark white ceiling.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We are obsessed with this custom made duc duc <a href="http://ducducnyc.com/products/regency-4-drawer-dresser?id=1421190&c%5B1413599%5D=c0:f0f0ee&c%5B1420856%5D=tn1:W_BW_02&c%5B1420897%5D=tn2:W_BW_02&c%5B1740649%5D=c9:d3441d" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; -webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear; background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s linear;" target="_blank">Regency 4 drawer dresser</a> and changer. We really wanted a piece in blue to tie in the wallpaper, and the dresser is so well made, we know we’ll have it forever.</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We love the <a href="http://www.stokke.com/USA/en-us/nursery/stokke-sleepi" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Sleepi Crib</a> (currently in its bassinet form). It’s on wheels, so it can easily be wheeled anywhere in the room or in the house. As the Mini bassinet, it fits nicely next to our bed.</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The <a href="http://www.landofnod.com/grey-and-white-upholstered-daybed/s595755" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">daybed</a> was the first piece of furniture for the room. With Boz moving into our only guest room, we needed an extra place for guests to stay, and it’s great for late night feedings.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">On the one dark blue wall, we hung eight of the <a href="http://www.landofnod.com/white-book-ledge/s516643" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Straight and Narrow Bookledges</a> from The Land of Nod in white so we could display tons of Boz’s new and antique books—lots about dragons.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Traveling with babies and toddlers can seem incredibly daunting, but luckily there are a lot of great products on the market today to make the journey go smoother. From safety to entertainment to sleep, there's a gadget for just about every aspect of your trip. </span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1. Staying at a hotel, relative, or friend's house and worried about childproofing for your little one? Enter the <a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/travel-childproofing-with-trav-150980" sl-processed="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none !important;">Travel Tot kit</a> - everything you need to childproof a space, and it all comes off cleanly.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2. If your little one is old enough, let them help carry some of their things in a small backpack or suitcase like this one from <a href="http://www.skiphop.com/product/zoopacks.html" sl-processed="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none !important;">Skip Hop</a>. It'll make them feel important, provides convenient access, and allows you a little more space in your luggage. </span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3. Portable cribs like this one from <a href="http://www.babybjorn.com/us/products/sleep/travel-crib-light/travel-crib-light/" sl-processed="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none !important;">Baby Bjorn</a> provide a cozy, familiar place for your child to sleep and play while on the go. </span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">4. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Clorox-Disinfecting-Wipes-Fresh-Scent/dp/B00CXO4LL0/ref=sr_1_4?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1374528361&sr=1-4&keywords=travel+disinfecting+wipes&tag=apartmentth0a-20" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none !important;">Disinfecting wipes</a> for planes, hotels, and public restrooms help to put your mind at ease, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wet-Ones-Sensitive-Hands-Wipes/dp/B000PKTWX6/ref=sr_1_20?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1374505074&sr=1-20&keywords=cleaning+wipes+travel&tag=apartmentth0a-20" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none !important;">wet wipes</a> for sticky hands and faces can be a lifesaver while on the go.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">5. Never underestimate the power of a book. Read to your toddler or young child before the trip to familiarize them with the process, plus it's great entertainment while in flight. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Airport-Byron-Barton/dp/0064431452/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1374529222&sr=8-19&keywords=airplane+book&tag=apartmentth0a-20" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none !important;">This one</a> by Byron Barton is still a favorite with my three-year-old.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">6. Technology is great, but it's not much use on a plane without headphones that fit. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kidz-Gear-Wired-Headphones-Kids/dp/B0007NWL70/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1341976016&sr=8-1&keywords=kidz+gear+headphones&tag=apartmentth0a-20" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none !important;">This pair</a> is sized for little heads and has a cable that limits the volume to an appropriate level.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">7. The <a href="https://flyebaby.com/" sl-processed="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none !important;">FlyeBaby</a> is a great multi-purpose device for babies and toddlers alike. It becomes a five-point harness to instantly turn any chair into a high chair and for small babies can act as a hammock while in flight.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">8. If you're going on a long trip you'll want something to keep your devices fully charged and ready to go. This <a href="http://www.dreamgear.net/portable-power-max-travel-pack.html" sl-processed="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none !important;">portable power travel pack</a> provides up to 480 hours of device playback time and allows you to charge up to 5 USB powered devices at the same time.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">9. If you have a toddler and don't want to lug along a car seat, the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012E4FV8/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?tag=apartmentth0a-20" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none !important;">C.A.R.E.S. Safety Restraint System</a> is the way to go. It's lightweight, small, and easy to install (I know from experience) It's also approved by the FAA and provides a five point harness for your little one to keep them secure on the plane sans car seat.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">10. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UEGZNE/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B003UEGZNE&linkCode=as2&tag=apartmentth0a-20" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none !important;">Ziploc bags</a> are a great item to have on hand when you're on the go. They can hold anything from a dirty diaper to a wet onesie, even food scraps when there isn't a waste bin handy. They've saved my life in many a situation and I don't leave home without them.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">11. Technology. A <a href="http://www.apple.com/ipad/" sl-processed="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none !important;">tablet or smartphone</a> is one of the easiest ways to entertain your toddler on a plane or soothe a fussy baby with some white noise in the car or at a hotel. I also love this handy <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UEGZNE/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B003UEGZNE&linkCode=as2&tag=apartmentth0a-20" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none !important;">iPad travel case from Brica</a>. It provides a stand for your device and helps to protect it from clumsy little hands.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">12. If you must take a carseat for your babe and don't have a travel system that snaps into your stroller, bring along one of these <a href="http://www.brica.com/roll-n-go-car-seat-transporter/" sl-processed="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none !important;">handy transporters</a> so that you're not lugging it through the airport on one hip and hauling a baby on the other.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A couple of other great tips - send baby and toddler items like diapers and formula ahead of you with a service like <a href="http://www.jetsetbabies.com/" sl-processed="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none !important;">Jet Set Babies</a>, rent a car seat from your car rental company, or check to see if your hotel provides cribs before lugging along those bulky items. It may cost a bit more, but your sanity is worth it. Happy trails!</span></div>

I love how Rafaela Scarpati from <a href="http://www.blogdatetto.com.br/" target="_blank">Tetto Eventos</a> styled this rubber duck theme party. The attention to the details are amazing. Among a lot of bubbles and duckies everything is so delicate and sophisticated. Perfect idea for a birthday party or a baby shower.<br />

<div itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 18px;">

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As the owner of <a href="http://36thstreetevents.com/" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">36th Street Events</a>, Beth Walker loves throwing parties for any occasion. When she learned she was pregnant, a gender reveal provided a perfect opportunity to celebrate with a fun event! Beth and her team chose a clean, modern style in a pretty peach and mint palette with accents of white and gold. We love that this party is so festive and lovely without being over-the-top.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: inherit;">"The guests were asked to pin down their decision on the sex upon arriving, with little tassels attached to gold safety pins. We even celebrated with drinks to note the gender of choice, peach bellinis and mint juleps.</span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: #eeeeee; border-left-color: rgb(209, 209, 209); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 5px; border-right-color: rgb(209, 209, 209); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 5px; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.75em; margin: 0px auto 20px; padding: 25px; text-align: center;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When it came to the reveal, I wanted to make sure it was both a surprise for the guests and my husband and I. The 36th Street team (other than myself) knew the sex of our baby and created confetti poppers with cake push pops. Painted gold and filled with the colored confetti, guests just had to push the handle to have the confetti pop out.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The reveal was the amazing. Surrounded by our loved ones, we found out we were having a little baby girl. To say I was surprised was an understatement! I was certain that I was having a boy, but life surprises you and we couldn't be happier!"</span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The idea for Emilee's first birthday party theme popped up for her mom <a href="http://www.growingupathomas.com/" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">Ashlee Thomas</a> before Emilee had even been born, thanks to a mermaid invitation design Ashlee's best friend had been working on for a design class. Then, when Emilee arrived with that pretty red hair, the theme seemed like it just couldn't be any more perfect! But rather than go Ariel overload with the party, Ashlee opted to bring out the essence of the character, decorating in such a pretty way with lovely beachy details. From the ocean hued palette accented with bright pink and gold to the festive tissue poms and garland, the party feels so happy and feminine. And this party even came with its own mermaid! Too fun. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">"I found the 'garden party' color tassel garland first and set my color palette. It worked out really well because Emilee's nursery is done in the same colors so I was able to hang the garlands and poms in her room after. I'm all about reusing party decor. I think it's a shame to pay for things only to use them once and then throw them away."</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Another budget saver was all the beach decor. Most of my house is a coastal theme so I was able to pull things - picture frames, starfish, coral, shells - from other rooms in the house to really make the party come together. I purchased a few of the grape vines (driftwood looking pieces) wholesale and used some strands of pearls to really bring the "shabby ocean chic" vibe to life."</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">"My favorite part of the party was the photo collage. The idea popped into my head one day and it turned out just like I imagined it. A few fish nets from our local party store, mini clothespins, and pics of Emilee's first year really turned into a great conversation piece. It was fun looking back at her first year in pictures."</span></blockquote>

And with it being over 100 degrees the day of the party, all the guests were glad to be in the pool. Luckily for me, my mother-in-law knows a real "mermaid," so imagine my guests surprise when they come outside to get in the pool and find a real mermaid swimming in it!

<div style="line-height: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here’s a countdown of the 10 most creative ways (according to me, and Pinterest) to record your baby’s first year.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://kristenhoneycutt.com/blog/baby/03/14/happy-first-birthday-to-our-little-max-and-a-peek-at-the-new-downtown-kirkland-studio-space/" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Kristen Honeycutt Photo Co.">Kristen Honeycutt’s collage of little Max</a> is sort of similar to my attempt with Carter, but she did a couple other interesting things. First, Max’s raccoon is helpful to be able to gauge Max’s size by comparison. (Either Max grew a lot, or the raccoon is shrinking, because the difference between months 1 and 12 are huge!)</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I also love how you can see Kristen’s style coming through with the blanket and Max’s clothing. Any little guy can pull of a white onesie, but Max is pulling off some serious style in some of these outfits! Did you <i style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">see </i> month 3?!</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I always love when parents get in photos with their little ones, and <a href="http://simplyrosie.ca/logan-belly-to-12-months/" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="From Belly to 12 Months | Simply Rosie">Rosie’s month-by-month series with Logan</a>is especially creative. Her first photo is of her belly when she’s still pregnant, and by holding him in the same spot every month, you get a better idea of how much he’s grown by comparison.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is one of the easiest ideas to pull off by yourself – just prop your camera up on a counter or a tripod, and use a timer or remote to take a shot every month!</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I spent the entire first year of my son’s life dealing with a serious case of mom-brain. I could barely remember to put pants on every day before leaving the house, so the chance of me remembering the date Carter crawled for the first time was less than zero.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">That’s one of the reasons I love the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/127096265/personalized-my-first-year-poster" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="My First Year Poster on Etsy">‘My First Year’ poster</a>—simply fill in the blanks, and voila!

<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you like the idea of the ‘My First Year’ poster, but you’re looking to take your baby-tracking to another level, the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/105380343/babys-first-annual-report-an-undated-13" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Baby's First Annual Report by The Future Mrs. Darcy on Etsy">Baby’s 1<sup style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">st</sup> Annual Report</a> might be for you.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Inside this 13-month calendar, you’ll find spots to add photos of your little one, as well as clever prompts for tracking important stats like “Mood By Time of Day” (baby’s <i style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">and</i> parent’s), and “Toys vs. Floor Space in Main Living Area.” This is one calendar you <em style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">won’t </em> be able to throw away when the year is over.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">When I was pregnant, I could get lost in the baby clothes section of Target for hours at a time, looking at all the adorable onesies that I couldn’t wait to buy for my baby-to-be. As it turns out, I could’ve saved a LOT of money, had I realized just how quickly he’d outgrow one size and move onto the next. So, finding out that there was something creative I could do with all those outgrown clothes was music to my ears!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I recently discovered the idea of first year quilts—quilts created out of your favorite pieces of clothing from your baby’s first year—and I can’t wait to go back through Carter’s old clothes and start making something memorable out of them!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This project was also done by Jennifer Borget (the mom who did 365 Days of T), but I couldn’t <i style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">not</i> include it. It’s so beautifully done. In her <a href="http://www.babymakingmachine.com/category/love-letters" style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="365 Love Letters | Baby Making Machine">365 love letters</a>, Jennifer paired photos of her daughter with a loving thought, message or quote. Each individual photo is amazing in itself, but the project as a whole is remarkable.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I can only imagine how much her daughter will appreciate having all these photos (and the resulting book she created) when she’s older.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Is that one, giant boatload of cuteness or what?!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I hope these ideas inspire you as much as they’ve inspired me, and I’d love to see or hear your unique ideas about how to capture your baby’s first year in photos, too!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Happy documenting!</span></div>

That’s why when my own son was a baby, I began incorporating workouts into my routine that would allow me to couple </span><a href="http://www.skinnymom.com/2014/05/15/the-best-20-minute-calorie-torching-at-home-workouts/" sl-processed="1" style="-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; text-decoration: none;">a great sweat session</a><span style="line-height: 1.5;"> </span><span style="line-height: 1.5;">with a little baby/mommy time. These mom and baby workout moves are simple and effective, and the only equipment you will need is your baby, a baby carrier, a yoga mat and your own body weight.

Once you have the clearance (and some comfy workout clothes), get ready to sweat!</span></span><br />

Having the information you need will help keep both you and your baby safe and healthy.</span></div>

<header class="entry-header" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 24px;"><h1 class="entry-title margin-bottom-30" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.35; margin: 0px 0px 30px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">It’s no secret that I LOVE color, especially in the nursery, and I always enjoy watching color trends unfold and expand outside the nursery too! I give full credit to nursery design for starting the coral painted furniture trend that seems to be everywhere nowadays.</span></span></h1>
</header><div class="entry-content" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When I started Caden Lane in 2005, pink or blue paired with brown was a huge color combination for the baby’s room. Brown had never been incorporated into the nursery before (everything was pastel), and I love how we’ve incorporated new colors into the nursery design spectrum every year since then!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have a gut feeling that this year is going to be filled with color! We can say goodbye to the monochromatic all-white and all-gray nurseries and expect rooms with colorful accents, and I think we’re going to see hues that have always been around but never really trended before. Here are my top five picks for 2015 nursery color trends.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span id="more-358940" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;"></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Bright pastels.</strong> Think sweet, soft pastels, and turn them up a notch! Don’t be intimidated by this mix because there’s no limit when you’re combining colors! Pinks, corals, aquas, mints and golds all have a feminine feel and can work for so many different design styles. I love the bright, whimsical feel of these colors—they’re making me wish for warmer weather and the sweet smell of flowers!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #777777; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="height: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;"><img alt="Bright Pastel Baby Bedding and Nursery Art" class="alignnone wp-image-359482 size-full" height="310" src="http://projectnursery.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/bright-pastel-nursery2.jpg" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" title="Bright Pastel Baby Bedding and Nursery Art" width="724" /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://cadenlane.com/buttercup-baby-bedding-in-bright-pastels/" sl-processed="1" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Buttercup Baby Bedding</a> | <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/176711677/embroidery-hoop-wall-art-set-home-decor?ref=market" sl-processed="1" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Welcome Spring Embroidery Hoop Art</a></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Shades of purple.</strong> Pantone recently announced that the 2015 color of the year is <a href="http://www.pantone.com/pages/index.aspx?pg=21167" sl-processed="1" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Marsala</a>, a rich burgundy hue resembling my favorite beverage of choice (wine). The folks at Pantone probably don’t have baby on the mind when they are picking their featured shade, but this gorgeous, rich hue belongs to the purple color family, and that is one of my top picks for 2015! Purple has always been the “other choice” for girls’ nursery designs, but for someone who doesn’t want too much pink or is looking for a sweet accent color, purple is the perfect complement for a variety of other colors and styles!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Mint is the new neutral.</strong> Designing a gender-neutral nursery? Well, you’re in luck! This gender-neutral friendly shade of green looks gorgeous with navy or pink, and it goes gorgeously with my favorite metallic color trend—GOLD!

The party was timely, as it happened just around the time that Prince George was born. The ladies used a harlequin design with a black and gold palette for a luxurious and modern vibe. We love the hand-cut rosettes that were placed on the table, which were reminiscent of Elizabethan collars. Sweet treats on the dessert table included a golden crown cake, shimmering prince cookie stacks, gold leaf macarons, golden crown cupcakes and cake pops. Well done!

<br />
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There I was just one month into my first full-time job after being a stay-at-home mom for two-and-a-half years, when the mortifying moment happened: I saw my boss's Skype conversation. We were in a meeting and she had her computer screen facing me so I could see her screen.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My boss and a co-worker were making fun of me because I didn't understand a technical term my co-worker had used. I was absolutely furious. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I could feel the tears coming, but I refused to let my colleagues bring me down. I left to get some tea and chose to expel my tears in a nearby Starbucks, and came back calmly, explaining in a professionally written but incredibly sharp email that making derogatory remarks about other employees was not professional at all. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Man, was that email a stinger! The two women (with tails between their legs) apologized to me profusely, saying they meant no harm, but still, I never trusted either one of them fully again. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Considering it was my first full-time experience back at work, it was a real blow to my ego. I left that day asking, "Can I do this? Am I stupid?" It didn't matter that I went to an Ivy League school or that I knew deep down I wasn't a dummy. I felt insecure. And while that job ended up opening other doors for me down the line and gave me great experience for my résumé, it wasn't the best situation for me. If you're a stay-at-home mom who needs to or wants to go back to work after a long break from being employed, here are some serious tips that I wish I had had in my back pocket when I first applied for that job. </span></div>
<h2 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: ProximaNova, AvenirNext-Regular, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin: 50px 25px 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Consider the Distance and Schedule</span></h2>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In my field, all of the jobs are a good distance from my home. I had searched for almost two years to find a job closer to home while freelancing without any luck. When that job came through for me, I didn't have a choice at the time. I knew the job would expand my résumé, plus my ex-husband and I were having serious problems, and I knew I needed to get myself together financially. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But with that said, the commute was torture for me. It was a commute of anywhere from three to four hours — five to six in bad weather — per day, not to mention it was for a start-up, so the hours were insanely long. Most people worked 9-7. These were not good hours for a mom, and while I had three days of a modified 9-5 schedule, the other two were 9-7. I barely saw my kid and had to rely on her dad and our parents to do almost everything for my daughter. I cried a lot while working that job. I would come home to my little toddler and as soon as she saw me she would smile, and then sharply turn her back and say to me, "No hugs for mommy." She was hurt I was gone so much. I felt broken.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Pick something — if it's possible — close enough to home with a schedule that works comfortably for your family. This will make the transition from home to work that much easier for both you and your kids. Plus, if there's an emergency, it helps to be close by. One day she was sick. It took me three hours to get home, and on top of that, I had to wait for a bus to be available — that was another two hours before I could even leave to get her. Don't do that to yourself if you can help it.</span></div>
<h2 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: ProximaNova, AvenirNext-Regular, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin: 50px 25px 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Build Your Résumé</span></h2>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On the flip side, you may be like I was: just trying to get some experience under your belt in any way possible in order to build up your résumé. If this means taking work that won't initially bring in a lot of income but will end up paving the way for better jobs while you transition into "working mom," do it! It will pay off. Today, my freelance work has grown and my day job is wonderful. I put in the time — and still am — in order to get to a more comfortable place, and I'm still striving for it. You may not love the job itself, but if it teaches you something you didn't know before, I guarantee that it will help you get closer to your end goal.</span></div>
<h2 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: ProximaNova, AvenirNext-Regular, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin: 50px 25px 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Free Tutorials</span></h2>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On my professional résumé, the majority of my work is purely writing and entertainment. When you're an actress or stand-up comic, you don't use programs like Excel, so at the time, I was behind in terms of some office and technical skills. Most of what I have learned has been through trial and error or on the job. However, I did try a few free tutorials online in order to sharpen my skills. I highly recommend this if you're rusty or completely new to certain programs that your potential job may require. </span></div>
<h2 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: ProximaNova, AvenirNext-Regular, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin: 50px 25px 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Now You Got the Interview, and . . . ?</span></h2>
<h2 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: ProximaNova, AvenirNext-Regular, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin: 50px 25px 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Work Environment</span></h2>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">At that one job, there were no other moms and only one dad. It may sound ridiculous, but I think it hurt me in the long run. I was told my job description had "suddenly changed, and we need someone with skills like HTML, etc." And while I am sure they <i style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">did</i> need someone with those particular skills, I found it odd that they just realized it out of the blue instead of putting it in the job advertisement. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Although I can't prove it and don't care anymore, I think my commute and home responsibilities, like being with my kid when she was sick with the flu, were big no-nos for that company. My current job is more flexible and has a ton of other parents on staff. When you interview, pay attention to people's attitudes about any schedule issues you might have and/or their general attitude toward parents. It may be hard to see this in an interview, but I got a good feeling at my current job during the interview. </span></div>
<h2 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: ProximaNova, AvenirNext-Regular, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin: 50px 25px 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;">You Got the Job! Now What?</span></h2>
<h2 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: ProximaNova, AvenirNext-Regular, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin: 50px 25px 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Dress to Impress</span></h2>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Always dress your absolute best and most professional. If you don't know what to wear, ask a current working mom friend to help a sister out! And in my opinion, it's better to come overdressed the first few days than be underdressed. </span></div>
<h2 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: ProximaNova, AvenirNext-Regular, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin: 50px 25px 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Prep the Kids</span></h2>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If your kids have not been in preschool yet or away from you for a stretch of time, I highly recommend prepping them by sending them to daycare or whoever will be watching them before you start work. Give them a few days to adjust while you're still at home and can help them with this new stage. If you can, write notes in their lunchboxes, telling them what you're looking forward to doing with them over the weekend, and perhaps tuck in a special treat. Take photos — work selfies! — of yourself in action at work and show your kids. If they're old enough, talk to them about what you do all day.</span></div>
<h2 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: ProximaNova, AvenirNext-Regular, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin: 50px 25px 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Emotional Prep</span></h2>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Whether you have to work or want to work, prepare yourself to feel a bit guilty for quite a while. Even though I've been working now for some time, after being home with my daughter on vacation, I always feel horrible going back even though I love what I do. And please, whatever you do, find support from other moms. Juggling a new job, the home, your kids, and possibly a marriage or partnership if you're taken is very hard and if you're a single parent, harder. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 20px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Expect also that like my girl, your kids could act out or give you the cold shoulder or experience separation anxiety. Mine had no issues separating, but just like a woman, she gave me such "tude" at first when I went back to work!</span></div>
<h2 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: ProximaNova, AvenirNext-Regular, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin: 50px 25px 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Captain, We're Going to Need Backup</span></h2>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">God bless my ex in-laws for all they do with my daughter. They help my ex and me out quite a bit. But in addition to them, my parents live near my daughter's school, and I have quite a few friends as well as one sister who are home that I trust and could watch my daughter in an emergency. This makes working easier. I am also incredibly fortunate to be able to work from home occasionally or bring my daughter with me. Set yourself up so that you don't just have two emergency contact backups but five. Trust me, you will thank me.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It may take some time for you to transition, and it will be exhausting, but you can do this. I remember how crappy I felt that day crying into my chai tea over those two women and their petty comments, but if I could find that old me, I would hug her and tell her, "Don't worry, you've got this," because it gets better, dammit.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Forge on and tell yourself: I am woman. Hear me roar!</span></div>
