Moroccan rugs are everywhere right now. I decided to jump on the bandwagon for our living room, and I'm so glad I did. It's one of my new favorite things. If you are interested in a genuine Beni Ourain, check out Beyond Marrakech. Danielle was amazingly helpful and patient with my countless questions. My carpet arrived in just 4 days all the way from Morocco. I was hesitant to buy something without seeing it in person first, but it's gorgeous and so soft. I haven't forgotten about the requests to see pictures of my new home. Coming soon...

Obaby and Obaby+ are new photo editing apps that help you record and share all those milestones and special moments from pregnancy and early baby life (years 1-2).They also include adoption milestones, which I think is an amazing idea. The app even sends you reminders to capture the important moments as your little one grows. Genius!

Remember this nursery? It might be my favorite baby space ever. Style Me Pretty Living just featured the rest of Christine Dovey's home, and it's as fabulous as the nursery. Ostrich wallpaper, you guys! Check out the rest of her gorgeous pad (and her other kids' rooms) here.

White doesn't have to be boring. This room keeps it neutral without sacrificing impact.

"When it comes to being a mother, don't listen to anyone. Absolutely no one. Ignore all of it: the breastfeeding tips, the sleep-training dogma, the attachment parenting books, the wooden toys credo, food allergies hysteria, EVERYTHING. Being a mom is about developing your own style, just like anything else. Your kid is going to be complicated and tormented and amazing just like every other human being that walks this earth no matter what, so trust your instincts and drown out the noise. The only person who knows what your child needs is you."
