This is a classic case of the second child. Typically, a second baby gets along just fine with a bit less of their very own and enjoys hand-me-downs of gently worn clothing; lived in strollers; and well-tested toys. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with this scenario. BUT, keeping your first child's newborn photo hung over the second baby's changing table is taking this whole hand-me-down thing a bit too far. That was the case in a client and friend of mine's baby number two's nursery. (It was clearly time for a nursery re-design for this baby number two.) About a year after I designed a big girl bedroom for a friend's daughter, their second daughter Hadley was born. As busy parents now of two little girls, the nursery remained the same as it had been when big sister moved out over a year prior – with big sis's newborn image still hanging over the changing table. One day just after Hadley celebrated her first birthday Kim (mom) and I got to talking and decided it was time to do something about the impersonal space that was the nursery. We discussed plans to freshen it up, bring in some personalized décor and add in significantly more functionality that was missing. I wasted no time and within a week we had a sweet, budget conscious nursery design. Scroll down to learn the six key steps of designing any nursery that were applied to this makeover.  Finally sweet Hadley gets a pretty perfect nursery of her very own. This post may contain affiliate links which help support our blog efforts. Darling. This was my first thought when I saw the Love Found birth stat prints. They are simply charming and perfection in their minimalist design. The muted neutrals are universal, but with a twist. With the hot trend of black and white not being overlooked so there is a bold black version for those rooms too. My second thought was, YASS! Now other mom's like me won't have to dig out their baby book to find their child's birth stats. I know so many moms that remember things like time of birth and birth weight clear as day and will NEVER forget – and then there's me. #momfail. When it comes to nursery room design this is the new "it" décor piece to include as the perfect way to add a very, very personal touch. Watch for it to pop-up all over those WOW-worthy baby rooms on Instagram.

Part blankie part BFF the super plush creatures that make up the Slumberkins crew can be described in one word, irresistible. Their cozy fur bodies and friendly faces say, “pick me up and never let me go.” But there’s more to them than just their charming good looks. As part of the co-founders desire to bring comfort to babies and little ones all over the world, they also wanted to encourage reading. Reading with a focused on helping parents broach sometimes sensitive discussions or emotional topics for little ones. Which makes them just the perfect baby gift. We recently caught up with the co-founders Callie and Kelly on all things Slumberkins. Q&A with Slumberkins Owners Callie & Kelly
