scents...
sometimes the scents in your house with a baby (and kids!) is less than pleasant. there are thousands of tricks (like steeping cloves, anise and other ingredients on your stove) but certainly a much safer way is with scented candles. just be careful that candles don't have that wire in the wick or anything else artificial, and beeswax is the most desirable (one secret is that swedish candles are the absolute best!). I recently came upon le labo candles, and they are wonderful! they actually also make a baby perfume that is really adorable! Ambrette 9.. (can a scent be adorable...well you know what I mean!). their shop is on Elizabeth Street just about at Prince in NYC, so go in and see for yourself! Le Labo!
