| The kick-ass room of Tatum and Vivi Flatland |
As a welcome to the current mompetitive, child-is-royalty parenting culture of today, a pregnant friend of mine was recently asked the theme of her baby-girl's nursery. My mommy-to-be buddy was taken aback by this barbed query, but posted on FB a few gems that she might have offered in response.
Needless to say, as a mommyblogger, I was on that s--t like animal activists on a mink coat.
These days a nursery cannot just be a loving haven, culled together out of hand-me-down furniture and heirlooms. NO! It must be worthy of an interior design thesis project. It must be whimsical, instructive, innovative, a conversation starter! The baby's room theme must not just impress, but ASTOUND, other parents, making them fall to their knees and weep at the fierce originality exuded by your family.
