    Hi Anet. My $.02 follow.

    I like it, its clean and has a "dreamy" feeling, a bit like I would expect on a baby related site. However I felt some of the images could use a hand.
    - I would put a border on your images to make them stand out.
    - The RSS/Subscribe image seems to blend into the background or something. Im not quite sure what I think of this but I think you could highlight it a little more to make it stand out.

    My picky notes...
    Your links above (home and about) should be all the same, one is "HOME" the other is "About" either make them both all caps or all Cap/lowercase or all lowercase. IMO it looks funky to have the two cases mixed.

    This tends to happen to me a lot too... I noticed your tags are somewhat duplicated (at least visually) I know they're different, like "newborn" and "newborn baby" but they get mixed up in the visual cloud. My recommendation is to go to your tagging application --if you're using one. and consolidate some tags and when you post maybe stick to established tags. It'll make your cloud look better and more focused.

    On the categories, I would remove the extraneous wording in subcategories... for example: "newborn health" the URL actually shows .../category/the-newborn-baby/newborn-health/ I would strive to make it so it shows this instead:

    This just requires you change the permalink for the subcat.

    ../category/the-newborn-baby/health

    OR -- This is a redo of your cat structure.

    /category/health/the-newborn-baby

    The second one allows you to make a "health" category with subcats under it like (newborn), (toddler), etc.

    And I would recommend this plugin if you're using wordpress. Top Level Categories by Filipe Fortes. It takes the word "category" out of the url.
    Hope this helps.

    Aww, that's a really sweet site. I love the concept, especially the header.
    I love the color, the layout, the design, everything.
    That blue color is great too ^^
