Baby-Proof Gallery Wall
When we first decorated Hudson's nursery gallery wall, I knew we would have to come up with a solution to secure everything to the wall in case little hands got curious and tried to pull everything down! When Hudson turned 7 months old it was finally time to do something about it. He isn't standing up yet but he probably will before I know ... Read More
