I remember those simple days when I was the sole decision-maker of nursery decor. But then my daughter turned two and suddenly everything had to have that darn pudgy yellow bear on it.
While I gave in on the bedding, the Hundred Acre Wood will not take over the rest of her room. So I'm constantly on the lookout for non-themed accessories, like this handmade fused glass nightlight from artist Amy Burhoe.
It's bright, colorful, and perfect for keeping the boogeymen at bay in style. That is, syndicated character-free style. -Kristen

With the cold weather upon us, my son's cutie pie cheeks are getting chapped. Do you have any suggestions for moisture sticks? -Lisa

Nothing's worse than dry baby cheeks, so you might want to check out TruKid's Hero Stick. It's great for cuts and scrapes, but also works on chapped skin as well and is made with all natural ingredients.
Also, the Cheeky Baby Butter from Baby Bear Shop works well on moms and babies. It's doesn't come in stick form, but it's definitely thicker than a cream or lotion.
