Try no VOC paint-you can actually sleep in the room that night and there are no toxic fumes. I love the dimmer switch idea-how nice not to turn on that bright light every time you need light.

I agree 100% with #5. With my first child a kept a note over the doorbell that read “Baby sleeping, please knock quietly” ALL the time. Never took it down.

Another one? Take the information from all the nursery products you bought or received at a shower and go online to register the products with the manufacturer — that way, if there is a safety issue, you’ll learn about it directly. And with new legislation, that registration form can’t be used for marketing. Learn more, and sign up for monthly email alerts on children’s product safety at http://www.KidsInDanger.org.

Once my first son was a toddler and we had another one on the way, we started to really really want a dishwasher.

Once my first son was out of diapers, I started to really really want a second bathroom.

To make our home more cozy (and thus energy efficient), we replaced our windows and insulated our walls with recycled denim. I blogged about it here: http://safetyathome.com/2010/05/06/green-home-improvements-big-and-small/
