Thursday Giveaway: The Peaceful Nursery

2008-05-15-peaceful.jpg.jpg

Feng Shui may seem new-agey to you, but we believe many parents will be interested in the principles found in The Peaceful Nursery: Preparing a Home for Your Baby with Feng Shui by Laura Forbes Carlin and Alison Forbes. In addition to Feng Shui, the authors incorporate ideas from interior design with an eye toward a healthy, green space for a child to live.

Enter the giveaway below the jump...
