Today’s guest post is from Laura Cecil, a writer for Livesnet.com, a site where baby products are reviewed. Laura has great recommendations on ways you can protect your mobile child inside your own home.

Protect Your Mobile Children

The good news for parents is that the infant will become mobile and more independent after an age of about six months. Unfortunately, that’s also the bad news. Once the child become mobile, everything in the home will be interesting to him or her; everything will present some sort of danger. This is definitely the time to protect the child against these lurking household dangers by buying a few safety devices.

Stairways are always a problem. If your home has direct access to either the top or bottom of a stairway, you can be sure that the baby is going to want to climb. You’ll need one or more good baby gates to keep the baby off from the stairway. One gate that is highly recommended is the Evenflow Top of Stairs Plus. This gate is securely mounted using screws; it can be painted or if you prefer stained to match the decor of your room; and it is less expensive than other gates of similar quality. The baby will find it nearly impossible to open the gate. Even adults must practice in order to open it readily. View Post

One thing is for certain, we can all dress like a celebrity…and right from our own closet!

When I saw singer, Alicia Keys dressed to impress at the 2011 BET Awards seen wearing a Dolce & Gabbana black and white creation, accessorized with Wilfredo Rosado fine jewelry, I immediately invaded my closet for some black and white finds.  Trust me, we all have them.

I am seen wearing another great piece from White House / Black Market – a strapless jumpsuit, which is a great trend seen worn by many celebrites and on the runaway.  Not only is it comfy, 5% spandex (another great way to give the illusion of skinny) but can be worn from day to night just by adding a few key accessories:

 

Get my “black and white” inspired look: 
Blazer: J Crew,$198
Jumper: Black House / White Market, $138
Hat: Sean John Menswear, $20
Necklace: Vintage
Jewelry: Nine West
