My children have been neglected...well, I should clarify...their bedrooms have been neglected. What can I say, bedrooms for little kids kind of intimidated me. Colors and patterns can easily turn into a hot mess, and let's face it, I'm not the type of parent who will sign off on a Disney princess themed room...much to my daughter's[...]
