Baby-proofing Your Home

Since my son was born, our living room has become a makeshift play room. Of course, once he began to crawl and walk, safety considerations had to be made.

One day, I discovered a cheap and easy way to baby-proof the steps on our living room fireplace. Of course, this idea can be applied to other steps and/or sharp corners throughout the home. 
 
I simply cut a long pool noodle in half and taped it securely around the edge of the marble step. It may not be the most stylish-looking idea, but it does the job! And remember, it's only temporary. Plus, you can throw a blanket over it to hide the noodle.
