This baby's room inspires a sense of old Hollywood with gilded gold accents mixed with black and white staples and a few fun surprises too. Mom Deidre put this nursery together for daughter Daphne last year, and I have to say, I definitely like how it came together.

This fantastic nursery renovation caught my eye and I knew I had to share. Parents Luke and Brooke took this dark wood paneled room and transformed it into a calming space to comfortably fit their baby boy.

Let me be the first to tell you that pastels are most definitely not reserved for girls! The wall color in this nursery done for baby Jude will testify as much. It's such an inviting space and you'll love to see how it all came together after being gutted down to the literal bare bones.

I love the different elements of this nursery for a baby girl that I spotted over at Jen Loves Kev. There's just something so calming and peaceful about it, exactly the kind of vibe you want a nursery to give off, don't you think?

The winter months can be painful for many, many reasons, but one of the most enduring (and difficult) is also the heart of the season: the cold. We all hate it. We all turn up our heat to 75 and hope for the best, and then we are horrified by the bill.

I know this pain because last month, my first month as the owner of a single family home, my heating bill came to a whopping $500. Is that crazy or what?

This month my husband and I are bound and determined to get our heating costs down by a lot, which means (gasp! Shiver!) we have to turn down our heat. Now our heat is at 68 during the day and 65 at night, so I asked for as many ways to stay warm as I could from my smart friends, many of whom grew up in New England and other Northern climate regions. Here are 10 ways to stay warm and STILL save money:

This year, I seem to know a record amount of people who have decided to bag a New Year's Eve celebration and instead stay home -- alone. Yep, they don't even have a friend or spouse with them. One friend lost everything in Hurricane Sandy and simply doesn't feel like whooping it up when she's knee deep in trying to reconstruct her home. Another can't stand going out into the bitter cold (it is waaaay colder than last year, at least here in NYC). Yet another will babysit her sleeping child while her husband goes out to party -- just as he did for her last NYE. Another is too tired from partying last night. Reasons abound, but it's unprecedented in my circle, so I'm thinking other people must be noticing the same thing.

Here are 8 ways you can still celebrate the New Year -- all by yourself.

Moms, ladies, women-folk, did you know you'll be spending about three years of your adult life in the kitchen? So says a new study. That's over eight hours a week preparing meals for your family. I know what you're thinking: Tell me something I don't already know. You're thinking this while you read this post on your smartphone while stirring that pot of chili while your hungry family pounds their forks and knives on the table.

But you know what? Chicken butt. I can think of worse places to spend three years of my life. I actually like being in the kitchen. It's where the FOOD is. The surprising thing about the study is that we're not just working our darn fingers to the bone the whole time we're there. We're also just hanging out, watching TV, or socializing. Really. In fact, I wonder if the kitchen is the woman's equivalent of the Man Cave?

I love the story behind this nursery! Britt and Keith didn't know whether or not they'd be bringing home boys or girls when they set out to adopt two babies from Ethiopia. In the meantime, they decided to design a gender-neutral nursery that would work either way. Lucky them, they ended up with one of each when they welcomed handsome Gus and lovely Lula into their family!
