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.

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.

'Tis the Season for shopping! With Halloween over, that means the holiday season is just around the corner. Looking for some cool gifts for the kids in your life? What about a fun gift for their bedroom? We all know after Santa visits or the last Hanukkah candle goes out, we are all left with lots and lots of toys. And usually nowhere to store them. So maybe this year instead of another Barbie or video game you give the gift of a stylish room.

Here are five seriously stylish room gift ideas:

We all need a cushy place to land sometimes. Nurseries and kids rooms are no exceptions. So why
not make them both soft and insanely cool? The kids rugs from the absolutely fabulous brand
Kroma Carpets hit the spot. 

Whether fluffed up near the glider, spread out in front of toy bins or gracing the crib, the
collections from Kroma Carpets finish off a space with stylish functionality.

The struggle is real for the moms-to-be! Mom-to-be, you won't yet know the pain of changing a crib sheet, and you certainly won't know the struggle of changing a crib sheet in the middle of the night when you're half asleep. So take it from at least one mom who knows the pain all too well and be sure to ask your mommy friends, I know they'll back me up.

My newborn son suffered from gastro reflux and spit up ALL THE TIME. In turn, I suffered from constantly having to change his onesie and his crib bedding. The QuickZip sheet system makes changing the sheets easy without having to  lift up the mattress in order to get the sheet around it. The top surface area simply zips off and zips on, allowing for quick changes without all the hassle. Moms-to-be, if you haven't added these to your registry, I suggest you do it now!

For all those moms changing a regular twin or bunkbeds, this product will also ease your pain! QuickZip also accommodates for full, queen, and king sized beds and come in many simple and sweet patterns to work with any room style!

I was watching Rosie Pope's hit reality show 'Pregnant In Heels' years before I was even pregnant. I was captivated by her approach to the eccentric, dramatic and sometimes aloof mothers-to-be and their over the top scenarios as expecting mothers. She always found a way to bring the focus back on the safety and health of the baby, while instilling peace and confidence to the mom-to-be.

Now with three littles of her own Rosie has managed to build a baby brand empire and keep things real at home.

YouthfulNest is all about saving mom time and money so when we learned of Little List we knew we would be fast friends.  We loved how clean and user friendly their site was, they make it easy for you to see and find the best product deals and learn about new product must-haves. 

They aren't trying to be all things to all women,  just focused on being a stellar resource for what savvy moms with babies and young children are looking for – shopping inspiration and steals on quality products. Need I say more? No, but we did ask Little List co-founder, Liz Lentis, to give us the 411 on her company, her life as a Momprenure and her latest, favorite must-haves for mom and mom-to-be.
