Decorating
a Baby or Toddler Room- Add a
Mural
Decorating
your nursery or toddler room can be stressful because even though your
child is
developing their own personality you are not exactly
sure what they truly like
or would want in their room. Most parents spend time trying to find
paint
colors to match the bedding, curtains, décor, etc and then once
they find what
they have been looking for they have to find the time to actually paint
the
room. Well, one really neat thing you can do for the walls
of your child’s room
is buy a mural. Here is a great site, Murals

have over 5,000 images to choose from so whether you are looking for a
princess, sports, safari, nature, or outer space theme you should be

Other
perks of doing a mural are

come in pre-set sizes or you can
customize the size to fit the wall in the room.

fade and they are on heavyweight canvas or vinyl so you really can’t
tear them.

The
murals are very easy to take care of so
when your kids get little fingerprints on them you can wash them easily
with
mild soap and water.

easily install the mural in your kids room.
What you
need to create the perfect nursery for your baby or bedroom for your
toddler
Every new mom wants their child to
come home to an amazing nursery or have sweet dreams in a creative
toddler room. There
are so many things that can help you and your child adapt to the new
surroundings and life that you are going to lead as mother and child.
Here are some important and helpful items to assist you in your making
the perfect nursery or toddler room.
- Crib
- The Crib is
centerpiece in the nursery. Every mother wants a beautiful, comfortable
and safe crib for their little one. You have a variety of
options...sleigh cribs, round cribs, co sleepers, convertible cribs,
and much more.
- Changing
Table - You will spend lots of
time bonding with your child while changing their diaper so you will
want a multifunctioning table that can hold everything you need at a
fingertips reach for those squirmy babies.
- Changing
pad cover - Do
yourself a favor and go ahead
and invest in two to three changing pad covers. This way you always
have a spare when you are washing the little accident off of the other
one.
- Diapers -
There are lots of diaper brands to choose from. In my experience the
Pampers brand works the best on boys and Huggies for girls. They also
come in stages and sizes.
- Wipes
- Baby Wipes are your friend.
Not only are they perfect for cleaning little bottoms but you can use
them to wipe noses, sanitizing hands and mopping up little spills.
- Diaper
Changing Accessories- There are
a lot of accessories that you will need/want for changing a diaper such
as diaper genie for the dirty diapers, dipaer stacker or diaper caddy
to hold extra diapers, lotion, diaper rash cream, baby powder and even
safety pins for cloth diapers.
- Medicines
- Your doctor will tell you which medicines
are safe and recommended for what is ailing your child but the one stop
shop for kids Medicine
page will help you see what most doctors allow children to take once
they are past a certain age and weight.
- Alcohol
for Umbilical Stump - Take a Q-tip and rub the alcohol around
the umbilical stump at every diaper change to help it dry out and fall
off naturally.
- First Aid
Kit - Classy Kid Boo-Boo Rescue First Aid & Bravery Kit
With its toy stethoscope, cute
cold pack, and large box of Band-Aids in playful, cutout shapes, this
first-aid kit takes the scare out of everyday bumps and bruises. The
Boo-Boo Rescue Kit includes all the basics in kid-friendly form:
sting-free antiseptic wipes, antibiotic cream, fruity-smelling wound
cleanser, gauze pads, and more.
- Swaddle Blanket - Swaddle Designs Ultimate Swaddling Blanket Gift Set
Stars/Blue Dots
The ultimate newborn baby gift and a
hands-down favorite among celebs and parents in-the-know, this
essential gift set includes one Ultimate Swaddling Blanket, a set of
two Baby Burpies, and a Fuzzy Baby Lovie. The Swaddling Blanket is
designed to take the mystery out of swaddling, making it easy for
parents to wrap their baby snugly in a blanket to calm and comfort. The
ultimate burp cloth, Baby Burpies keep you covered in style, protecting
your clothing from baby spit-up and drool. Each cloth features an
absorbent pad sandwiched in the center. The Fuzzy Baby Lovie is a small
security blanket made of amazingly soft textured pile on one side and
silky-smooth satin on the other.
- Glider/Rocking
Chair - Rocking your child to
sleep, reading a bed time story or just cuddling is one of the most
precious things you can do with your child so make sure.
- Extra
Sheets and Blankets- Stock up on extra blankets and sheets in case
your child has a dipaer accident in the middle of the night.
- Diaper Genie- You will definitely want a dipaer
genie to dispose the "dirty and smelly" diapers.
- Humidifiers - Humidifiers are
wonderful especially when your child has a cold or a bout of croup or
bronchitis. I recomend Hunter CareFree Humidifier Plus - 2 Gallons
because If you live in
a dry climate, or in a home with dry interior air, your baby may be
prone to uncomfortably stuffy sinuses from colds or allergies. This
cool mist humidifier can help bring relief, adding soothing moisture to
the air. It's convenient and easy to use, and it has a compact, stylish
design. Also, Crane Adorable Animal One Gallon Ultrasonic
Humidifier Panda This ultrasonic humidifier brings
a soothing cool mist to dry rooms. Unlike many humidifiers, this model
is easy to fill and extremely quiet. And with its darling design, it's
a sweet addition to a child's room rather than an eyesore.
- Books to
read at Bedtime - My son has
lots of favorite books. Bright and White: Brushing you teeth can
be fun! is a great little book that
helped me get my son interested in brushing his teeth like mom and dad.
- Baby
Monitor - Now you don’t have to stay in one room if
you want to watch and listen to your baby while she sleeps. The Color Portable Video & Sounds Monitor by Bebe
Sound
can be operated entirely with
batteries so you can freely move about the house and still be able to
see and hear your baby. With this monitor you have several options
because both the camera and receiver can be operated either on AC power
or with batteries. For example, when your baby is sleeping in the
nursery, you can use the AC adapter for the camera thereby saving
battery life. If you are going to be working in only one room when the
baby is sleeping, you can also use an AC adapter to power your
receiver. Each unit takes 6 AA alkaline or rechargeable batteries. 6 AA
rechargeable batteries are included with the monitor.
- The Boppy Company Total Body Pillow
- In the later months of pregnancy, finding a comfortable
position for sleeping, resting, or even sitting can approach the
impossible. Alleviate sore back, neck, and hip muscles with Boppy's
Total Body Pillow. Bend, roll, or fold it any which way you choose to
get the support you need, just where you need it. And with the soft
Pima cotton cover, your family members will be fighting you for it.
- Nail Clippers- Trimming a baby's nails can be difficult, especially if
your little one squirms a lot. Try it while they sleep! Safety 1st Sleep Baby Nail Clipper
illuminate tiny nails for
tear-free clipping so you can confidently and accurately clip without
waking your baby.
- Safety 1st Complete Healthcare Kit
- Great for home or travel,
this kit keeps you stocked and organized. Keep it near the changing
table, in your diaper bag, or save it for trips. It contains a smart
assortment of essentials for your child, including a digital
thermometer, nasal aspirator, medicine dropper, and more, all housed in
a handy, zippered case.
