TIP OF THE WEEK: I'm so over yellow!

We decided not to find out the sex of our baby, but that made picking out a nursery torture for me. I did not want to do a neutral color like yellow, or green. The store I bought my furniture from offered a great idea...they had my doctor write down the sex of the baby in a sealed envelope, and I dropped it in the mail as I left the doctor's office (to avoid any temptation to rip it open). I had picked out boy decor and girl decor prior to the sonogram at the store. When the store got my envelope they ordered me the stuff for the sex I was having. It was great! They held the stuff for me until the baby arrived. I was so happy I didn't have to use yellow!
