Fire Truck Artwork

Sarah Jessica Parker told Oopsy Daisy, that her son adores the Fire Truck Artwork by artist Max Grover.  We can see why this is a favorite, the colors are nice and bright and all little boys like Fire Trucks.  This artwork would be great for a nursery or a playroom.  

No framing is required, it comes ready to hang.  The Fire Truck art , measures 10.5" x 10.5".  Priced at only $49.

Blue & Green Baby Bedding Try a Blue & Green Nursery

Some expecting Moms say they have to find out the sex of their baby so they can decorate the nursery.  That's fine, but if you're on the fence and don't want to find out, you can still have a stellar nursery without making it all pink or all blue. There are plenty of neutral (but not bland) nursery  theme options.  

Start with great crib bedding and the rest of the nursery will fall into place. For example, a nursery with yellow walls paired with blue and green bedding is sweet and fresh looking.  Don't let the blue scare you - it isn't just for boys.  If you bring baby girl home, you emphasize the yellow and green with chairs or rugs. 

Lima Bean Baby has an adorable Blue and Green bedding set that is perfect for baby boys or baby girls. We like that the bumper comes in four pieces which makes washing them a lot easier!

Sherri Blum Offers Affordable Clocks

Take a look at this! Sherri Blum has just introduced a line of incredibly cute and affordable clocks for the nursery. You'll be spending a lot of time in the nursery, so you'd better know what time it is!  We are ga-ga over Sherri Blum's $36 nursery clocks.

These kid's clocks are so cute, they'll stay in the nursery for years to come.   Our favorite is the Princess Clock, but never fear, there are boy's clock too - Sports, and Nautical.

 Online Community for Hip Moms

Usually, Crib Notes just reviews products, but I found a site so cool it deserves mentioning.  While surfing the internet, I ran across a really fun community for Moms called HipMamasPlace.com.   Hip Mama's Place is fun by a Mom of young children, so she knows what other Moms are looking for.  There are give-aways, product reviews, and coupons. I think you'll like HipMamasPlace.

Blue Disco Dot Diapees & Wipee

Naomi Watts was recently seen carrying Diapees & Wipees Blue Disco Dot while out with her son Alexander 'Sasha' Pete, 7 months, in Santa Monica, CA last week.
