An A-List Interview: Traci Fleming of Nurseryworks

traci flemming children

This week’s A-List interview features Traci Fleming, a working mom who was inspired by parenting to help other parents build beautiful nurseries. As a fellow pioneer in modern baby, it’s been fun to see Traci grow Nurseryworks into the well-loved brand that it is.

This week I’m excited to share with you an A-List interview with J.B. Schneider of P’kolino. I really enjoyed hearing his answers; they really gave me a lot of insight into his business, his family and his thoughts on creativity and play. On a personal note, I can’t imagine being an entrepreneur and a parent to four kids – I can barely do it with one. Either way, we both share the same secret: it’s our spouses who make it all possible!

When you’re traveling with your kids in tow during the single busiest time of year, a little bit of planning goes a long way. If you’re traveling by air, pick a time when your child is most likely to be asleep. Book a flight that coincides with nap-time, or, for longer distances, consider taking a red-eye.
