"Tomorrow, I'm going to pick out art for a nursery."
Sometimes my uterus talks to me. It's demandingly to-the-point. The only thing it says is "babies!" Of course, muffled through my belly it sounds more like "berbeesh," but I get the message loud and clear. People receive the same message from their parents, their peers, "the media," or the duderus. It's everywhere.
It's easy to shut it up by researching "birth" or listing off personal freedoms I enjoy.
But it can be fun to indulge the poor bastard once in a while. Today's exercise in indulgence takes the form of art prints that would look super cute in a nursery. I recently became a curator for Society6, and it's rekindling my love for the visual arts. Besides prints, they also have pillows and curtains in case that's a better way to decorate my imaginary nursery.
Here are some of my favorite art prints that would work well in a nursery or child's room.

I like that most of these collections can grow with the child. And they all make me smile. I don't know how I would choose!
