Like most new moms, Krista Fabregas expected to make changes around her home when daughter Sydney arrived in 1998. While she found ample sources for baby gear and safety products, she was dismayed by the utter lack of livable, kid-friendly home wares on store shelves.

Her frustration with fragile dishes, complicated safety devices and coffee tables void of décor reached its breaking point ? literally ? when a glass shattered on the kitchen floor just inches from where baby Sydney was playing.

At that moment, Krista vowed to find the perfect plastic drinkware ? attractive, unbreakable and dishwasher-safe ? for her home. Little did she know her search for the ideal plastic glasses would launch a ten-year quest to bring family-friendly living solutions to style-starved, sanity-seeking parents.

Today, Krista?s KidSmartLiving.com website and KidSmartLiving@Home blog, are among the internet?s leading resources for family-focused, kid-friendly living ideas. Featuring creative solutions for safety and decorating dilemmas, how-to videos and DIY projects, and the family-friendliest products on the market today, Krista brings harried parents fresh ideas for sensible living and kid-smart style.

Krista?s family-friendly home decorating strategies, how-to?s and product recommendations have been featured on NBC's Today Show, Good Morning America, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, The Wall Street Journal, Good Housekeeping, Rachael Ray, Better Homes & Gardens, Wine Spectator, Cookie Magazine, Imbibe, Disney Online, Yahoo!Shine, iVillage, Houston?s Fox 26 and KPRC Channel 2, and many others?
