Do your kids share a bedroom? I spotted these cool hanging beds on The Bumper Crop. We’re currently looking for new ideas on how to style the shared sleeping quarters of my three boys, and have it reflect each of their personalities. Any ideas? Their ages are 14, 7, and 8; and they all love robots!

Jennae of Green Your Decor made a recycled denim pencil case for her daughter’s school pencils! I love that she used a pair of old denim jeans as her fabric. Brooklyn has a girl’s day planned for her 4th birthday this weekend. I’m thinking denim cases as party favors!(There’s only two invited guests.) Here are Jennae’s instructions!

Are you familiar with Handstand Kids? A cookbook series that introduces your little chefs to food and language from around the globe. My family received a copy of the Handstand Kids Mexican Cookbook Kit a few weeks ago. The kit arrived in a resealable tortilla bag complete with a kitchen utensil!

The book has a clean layout, vibrant illustrations, and easy to follow recipes which include an ingredient list written in English and Spanish! Each recipe level is measured by avocados. One avocado means your child can basically cook a meal by themselves with little help. Also featured in the cookbook are character Handstand Kids who journey with your little chefs from recipe to recipe.

My kids are excited about our cookbook; we plan to cook a meal together from it weekly. I’m so lucky to have my own personal Top Chefs! What about you – do you spend quality preparing meals with your little chefs?

Are you obsessed with home decorating and organization as much as I am? If you are, you should take a look at Any Random Jane. A line of beautiful home accessories. I’m coveting the nursery rhyme canvas – cheery and colorful! A fantastic gift for a new mom to decorate baby’s nursery and later the toddler room. Chic and economical:) Did I mention the line was created by two sisters? So fun!

Summer has been fun; but steamy sticky days (and nights) are overrated. I’m looking forward to crisp cool air, golden orange leaves, and beautiful flowing scarves. J.Crew has a few of my favorite scarf patterns available – prints and stripes! Are you looking forward to Fall?

When the United Nations declared famine in the Horn of Africa, I felt the need to do something. After learning about the ONE Campaign, I signed up to be a ONE Mom Team Member. If I can use my tiny space to create a loud noise – so be it. It’s free to sign up. I encourage you to do so.

P.S. For some reason this post didn’t release in time for ONE week – July 25-30.

How cool is this photo by Andrew Miller? It’s actually a combination of many photos pieced together to create one lovely masterpiece. I would love (LOVE!) to have a custom family portrait made. I’m definitely adding this to my Happiness List!

Why hello! It’s a bit late in the afternoon for a post, but I just had to share with you my new favorite (kid friendly!) drink. Strawberry-Lemon Soda! You can thank Whole Foods for this goodness. All of the recipe ingredients (except fresh mint:) were in our kitchen, so I quickly whipped up a batch after an afternoon of outdoor play. Delicious!

I love this! Sharpie and US Weekly teamed up to find 100 different ways you can start something with Sharpie. Such a creative list! This would be a fun variety of projects for the kids (and you!) to tackle. My favorites include: color Easter eggs, decorate picture frames, and design a clutch . What fun project would you create with Sharpie?

Last night I watched the season premiere of Project Runway Season 9. Let me start by saying – it was so good! So, so much talent. It’s going to be a fierce design battle until the very end!

The first challenge was a bit of a shocker. Can you imagine creating a design from your sleepwear? That you’re currently wearing? I channel Rachel Zoe when I say “I Die!”

Of course, I’m team Anthony Ryan Auld. (Go Anthony! Bring it on home to the boot!) Anthony’s a cancer survivor, and colorblind. Wow! In my unbiased opinion – his designs scream WINNER!:) He’s an example of why we should never give up on our dreams.

This season I’m prepared for hot drama, hot fashion, and of course, model stealing!

Did you watch? Who’s your favorite designer?

Edited To Add: Do I live under a rock or what? I was lurking around the web when I found a fabulous blog – Blogging Project Runway. I love it!
