Is it safe to paint?

We are in the middle of several home improvement projects. I need to finish painting the kitchen and living room but I wanted to make sure it is safe. The paint is pretty much odorless and I would open the windows and doors for circulation.

Thanks ladies!!

Re: Is it safe to paint?

When I was pregnant with Kiera we had a lot of home improvements going on as well. My doctor told me just to be careful with everything, not to overdo it. She told me to wear a mask and gloves when I was doing work. And to keep windows open.
