I love this post, great practical tips. I've been cooking for some years with a kid assistant and never thought of the silicon mat, cool idea! I like the chopstick idea for teeny tiny people. Small Hands, Big Help: Practical Tips for Cooking with Kids Guest Post by Sarah Pinneo |

Is this post for adults or children? Frankly, none of them seem ideal for children. I've been scouring the internet for inspiration on organizing our art space so my four year old has independence with get out/put away. Smart Storage Ideas for Creative Supplies |

Well, I'll balance out the perspective here! I'm glad there is another option on the market, and I kind of like the look of this one. FunPod by Luca & Company |

Haaaah, hah hah! This issue is one that falls into "Care" and "Never thought twice about it". I love it when it comes up at some gathering, and a quarter of the people are all hot and bothered about WATERFALL and everyone else is like what? what are we talking about?

The first thing I saw in this post was the chair, it totally got my attention. Like, a real unlovely work chair...not a pretty or hip or retro one that looks good but isn't made for ten hours a day. We really WORK from home, and it's hard to find realistic inspiration, I'm glad to see this one! At the Office With Tommy Chambers Tech Tour |

These are nice but mostly pretty large...In our tiny bedroom, clamp or wallmount were the only options. I just spent a week trolling all the options...ugh. The Original BTC Hector is what I settled for, but with a 12 week wait time (!!) and a baby to nurse at night I got $25 Grandrich clamp lights on Amazon while we wait. I like to plug our bed lighting into a dimmer by Lutron; the lights are basically 'on' all the time and I use the dimmer to turn them on and off. Very partner and baby friendly. We had tiny halogen clamp lights from Ikea for ages before they died, they were great and didn't heat up, but our nearest Ikea is harder to get to than the internet! There are a couple darling vintage clamp lights on Etsy right now if your headboard is a thin one. I personally find a gooseneck a necessity, too. Bedside Illumination: A Case for Task Lamps |

Old thread. But ongoing problem. In our totally closet-less small place, we keep sheets under the bed in a nice basket - we have the bare minimum, so they get rotated constantly. I've made my peace with the feng shui implications! Blankets are the one I'm struggling with, they are on an open shelf above our washer and don't get used regularly. What to do? I hate those nylon zip bags, hence hunting for ideas...vintage suitcase? Large pretty laundry bags? Those are my latest ideas. 4 Ways to Store Extra Bedroom Linens |

I DO think seeing the covers of books is ideal. Every time this idea pops up again I go eyeball our available wallspace one more time. Make These Space Saving Bookshelves Tried and True |

This home has been floating around forever, nice to see more of the house! Love that shelf in the lead photo. A little too taxi-yellow for me to live with, but those swedes make any bright color seem like a good idea. Nice place to begin with, too! Bright Spot: Leah's Sunny, Swedish Hideaway |

I just saw these last week for the first time, out looking for Duplo sets that had girl figurines because all we have are boy ones, and my four year old wants a 'mama'. I assume Lego is making these because...this is what people buy for their girls (meaning Polly Pocket, Strawberry Shortcake, etc)! LEGO Friends: Yay or Nay? |

We've got a smooth system down - a bin on top of her bureau we constantly add to, and the culled set of 'keep for next kid' in the attic - but ye gods, that neat stacks of boxes in the attic is a MOUNTAIN at this point. Tips For Organizing Baby Clothes |

I love those old mirrors too...I saw one in a French magazine once, they must be commoner in Europe because they are mighty rare here - I've looked for five years, and the Pottery Barn knockoff is the only one I've seen. This is one of those looks-like-you'll-find-it-but-never-will for me! Sigh. The Simple Beauty of Vintage Metal Mirrors |
