If you are like me you can't stop gazing at this nursery image and not feel pure joy. It also makes me smile because I recall the first conversation I had with Christine Yeargin, author of Cake for Breakfast blog, about her vision for the nursery and the bold, bright oversized floral print she was in love with.

After seeing our first designs and considering the bolder wallpaper prints Christine decided they just weren't for her and we moved away from colorful wallpaper to a minimal look using a clean wall paint as the backdrop to delicate, fresh and soothing styling. We're calling it Boho Chic.

Is it just us or is Mr. Octopus just every where? Maybe its because it's summer and we are dreaming of "cake by the ocean" and our up coming beach vacay.

The real reason is because the octopus is this season's new "IT" creature and we want you to find a way to bring him home with you. We've found a dozen stylish baby and kids products featuring his free flowing shape and cool blue hues. Perfect for those easy breezy beach and coastal inspired nursery or child's bedroom design.

Ok, so maybe your work isn't quite as glamorous as actress Rachel McAdams. But, if you are a new mom returning to work after maternity leave, you know well that the commitment to breastfeeding comes with numerous daily challenges. Thanks to one working mother's own need to provide her babies with her own liquid gold breast milk — that is no longer one of them.

Kate Torgersen created Milk Stork, the first and only breast milk travel solution for working moms. Milk Stork was inspired by all the breastfeeding super moms who work, travel, and love their babies like crazy.
