Hello YouthfulNest readers! My name is Shelbi and I’m a lifestyle blogger over at EverydayMrs as well as a first-time expecting mom. Being a first-time mom is overwhelming for so many reasons. However, nursery design doesn’t need to be one of these reasons. Today I want to share with you four nursery tips I have for fellow nursery newbies (or even second time moms who may need a little extra motivation!).

We loved this shop's collection of art prints o much we included them in our holiday pop-up shop last Christmas. If you missed it then let me introduce you to the Kisco Print Shop. What we love is that there's something pretty much for everyone and every room. In fact she has various pieces in her collection that have become for sale exclusively on another one of our favorite places for wall art, Minted. We chatted with the mama and founder Colleen Williamson about her start, favorite places she's spotted her prints and asked her some tough questions like, "Is a gallery wall still a thing?". Inquiring minds. This post is sponsored by some of our favorite brands and retailers, but the content and opinions expressed are our own.

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.

Depending where you live, your summer fun is over and your kids have or will be heading back-to-school soon. As a mom myself, I am excited for my son to start kindergarten and simply hoping he can avoid using the word “poopy” in front of the teachers. Yes, he is only five and his maturity level isn’t quite there. I got to know another mom who is doing a double-take of her young son who will attend preschool this fall. Jeannine Benoit Adams, is the mother to Ethan a beautiful and spirited four year old. He is also now a big brother to a baby brother who joined the family just this past July. Those are both big responsibilities and some new life skills are on the horizon for him this year. To get Ethan ready for the school year and his new role as big brother mom and dad called upon YouthfulNest to hook him up with a big boy bedroom of his very own.

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
