God said, "Let there be light," but he didn't say it had to be a high voltage fluorescent one beaming from a heinous fixture in baby's room. One of the easiest ways to quickly improve the state of a nursery is to install a new light fixture. With all of the options floating around, you can't go wrong.

Got a picky eater? Instead of tricking babe into eating healthy meals, try engaging him in the cooking process. Youngsters love to help and when they see their finished product on a platter, they'll be tempted to try their creation.

Stripes, polka dots, gingham or animal prints? When it comes to picking nursery bedding, parents can drive themselves crazy trying to decide between all of the adorable options. Leave the tough decision making to wall art and use simple crib sheets to match the rest of the decor.

Many parents don't mind putting the bulk of their design budget towards the newborn's crib — the most important item in a nursery. In recent days, some crib makers and their retailers have decided to stop manufacturing and selling the popular drop-side versions leaving many customers wondering if their current crib is a hazard.
In an effort to keep customers hazard free and to prevent further recalls, Babies R Us will no longer stock and shelve the drop-side style, but encourage consumers to buy either a fold down design or version with fixed rails.

I have seen and tested more than my fair share of diaper bags, but I hadn't tried a new one since having my second babe. Double the diapers, changes of clothes and bottles and all the sudden I look like a mama off to war, which isn't a bad comparison. Before I leave the house, I have to check through three separate knapsacks to make sure I have everything I need.

Chain stores and catalogs are a great place to scout out affordable homewares, but like shopping for clothes at Gap and H&M, you can run into the problem of having the same cool stuff as everyone else. So take a page from petite women who buy kids' clothes and shop the kiddie offerings at your favorite home stores.
Retailers such as Pottery Barn's PBTeen and Ikea carry some surprisingly hip items that, taken out of context, don't look childish.

If your child rides their board for miles, don't pass up this skateboard chalkboard ($11) that comes with decals for tagging. Made of molded plywood, the sporty piece of wall decor doubles as a cool place to leave messages that may actually be read. If you've got a child that likes to roll wild, take advantage of this goodie's drastic discount.
