Guest Post: Because It's Awesome

Thanks Tobe for the below post about fun kid's stuff. I think I'm going to have to add those adorable sneakers to Bryan's wish list.  And some of you may recognize some similarities between some of Tobe's favorite nurseries and the sneak peek's of Bryan's rooms that I've shown:

Hello, nesters! Tobe here from because it's awesome, pretty happy to be filling in for Jess today. When Jess and I first talked about topics of discussion and she suggested that practically anything under the sun was an option, I, of course, went immediately to the wee ones. I've loved seeing the updates of her little man, haven't you? Even though i'm not quite there yet, my husband and I recently went from an urban loft to our own suburban treasure, and i can't help but dream about the day I get to turn one of our rooms into a nursery! In honor of those little bundles of love, i've rounded up some adorable kid items and nurseries that I have tucked away in my own inspiration folder.

First up, shoes. who among us can resist such cute duds for a sweet babe's feet?

peep toes | gold wing boots | ralph lauren sneakers

I don't know about you, but nothing says fun learning to me like all the colors of the rainbow.

when it comes to bedtime, i assume there are always a few essentials
