Are you pregnant? Or know someone that is? Then you must check out my featured post over at HotChixRox.com where I dish about this seasons maternity trends.
Here’s an excerpt: When I found out that I was pregnant all I could think about was one thing…what to wear? Envisioning myself in a burlap sac draped over my ever growing belly scared me and deterred me from stepping into a maternity clothing store, but little did I know that maternity fashion has come a long way. Instead of hiding your baby bump underneath baggy clothes embrace it and accentuate it with materials and texture that are not only chic but, comfortable…for more read here.

Have you recently caught your toddler escaping from his or her crib? Then it may be time to consider making a few changes to your child’s room! Leaving the nursery and moving into a big kid room can be a daunting task for any parent, but with a few simple steps you can make it an easy and memorable transition! Try the following tips and see if they help you create an age appropriate room.
1. Get rid of furniture that you no longer need. This might seem like an obvious one, but you’d be surprised at how many “baby” items are often found still lingering around the room. For example, if your child is a big kid and potty training, why do you still have the changing table? It’s time for that to go! It’s taking up valuable space that you could be using for other things.
2. Cribs don’t belong in a big kid room. I know, I know. It’s hard to let go of your son/daughter’s baby bed, but time marches forward. If you have a little one who is already climbing out of the crib, then it’s definitely time to get a real bed. Some parents prefer a toddler bed, while others go for a single. Keep the amount of space you have available in mind when choosing what works best for you and how long you plan to have them use the bed. Is it meant to last for a few years or all the way to college?
3. Consider repainting the room or adding to what is already there. Nothing says change like a fresh coat of paint! However, if painting isn’t your thing, a simple border around the ceiling or in the center of the wall could make a big difference. Wall murals showing off the latest trend in kid’s movies or something more timeless like Disney princess wall decals often can transform a room in minutes.
