Pebble Mattress leaves no stone unturned
Categories: Baby, Modern Nursery, Newborn Essentials
I get to see a lot of interesting product concepts in this job. But the new Pebble Mattress from Nook Sleep Systems completely stopped me in my tracks. It isn’t so much a mattress as a total reimagining of the infant sleep environment. Aesthetically, it is stunning. The asymmetry of the pebble shapes and the… read more!

The Door
Categories: Baby, Modern Nursery
In the middle of everything else that is hectic in our lives, we’re also doing some work on our house. Which means that in addition to obsessively researching baby gear and toys, I’m also a newly minted expert in tiles, faucets and countertop surfaces. The biggest challenge is actually my kids’ rooms, though. By now,… read more!

Holiday Giveaways # 5 – IdeaPaint Dry Erase White Board Paint
Categories: Just for fun, Modern Nursery
When IdeaPaint asked to do an installation in the Wellesley store’s playscape, I don’t think any of us imagined a project of any great magnitude. But after an onsite brainstorming session a couple of months ago, we ended up with a very big idea. We decided to create three large-scale IdeaPaint murals – one for… read more!

Best Stokke Sleepi promotion ever
Categories: Baby, Good Deals, Modern Nursery
From now through October 15, if you purchase a Stokke Sleepi, the mattress (or mattresses, depending on which configuration you get) will be FREE. We are incredibly psyched about this. A) because it’s an amazing value and B) because I have two Sleepi systems in my house, and love them and think every parent should… read more!

Day 21 – Monte Luca Glider
Categories: Baby, Modern Nursery
This is a story that’s taken me almost 11 months to tell, mostly because the humiliation has just recently worn off. Almost. At the ABC Kids Expo this past September, I was in rough shape. I was barely 4 weeks post-partum and terribly sick with what we would later discover was Crohn’s Disease. I could… read more!

Day 13 – Oeuf Classic Toy Store
Categories: Baby, Modern Nursery
When we approached Oeuf about our 31 Days of Giveaways celebration, we thought we’d be talking about giving away a crib. But once we saw the Toy Store, we realized it was an even better choice for Day 13. Every family struggles with toy storage – it’s extremely challenging to find a way to keep… read more!

Day 8 – Naturepedic No-Compromise Organic Crib Mattress
Categories: Baby, Modern Nursery
Organic mattresses are the newest trend for eco-conscious, natural-minded parents. And this is great news, since mattresses are notorious for harboring all kinds of icky chemicals. But many of the die-hard organic mattresses eschew all non-organic substances, leaving them one spectacular diaper blow-out away from permanent damage. Naturepedic takes a more practical approach in their… read more!

Bin-Go is its name-o
Categories: Baby, Modern Nursery
Just in from Skip Hop is the brand new Bin-Go, yet another utterly genius product from the gifted design team who pioneered the original diaper-bag-that-hangs-on-your-stroller. A few weeks ago, I was in New York for a couple of days, and my husband and I stopped by the Skip Hop studio for a sneak preview of… read more!

A better bumper
Categories: Baby, Modern Nursery, Newborn Essentials
If you have the temperament for it, one of the most fun parts of preparing for a new baby is decorating the nursery. Even for a decor-challenged mom-to-be (that’s me), there’s a thrill to choosing the colors and patterns that will adorn the baby’s room. Bedding is a big piece of the puzzle, and most… read more!
