The younger children always have so much fun on the holidays. They usually have special events at school and church depending on which holiday it is. And as the kids get older, they like to do their own room decor.If you start by picking up a couple items each year, it won't take you long to have all the seasons covered. Plus if you make your own it's even more fun, although not necessarily less

My grand daughter just had her birthday party. She received a range of gifts. Games, a new bedding set, a cute little shoulder bag, a make up kit that included nail polish, perfume, stick on tattoos, lip gloss, body glitter and nail polish remover plus some hair do-dads, some new PJ's, money, various toys and much, much more.What got the loudest scream? A bean bag chair! What got played with the

It seems like summer just started, and it's already back to school! But this is a really good time to think about the kids' rooms.They'll be getting all their new school supplies and their back to school wardrobe, and adding to the clutter in their rooms. So sit down with them in their room and discuss how to organize it.The basic requirements are:A comfortable place to sleep - you may give the

It's hard to even think that it's back to school time already. And here's a double edged sword.There are sales going on everywhere not just for school supplies and kids clothes, but for kids' bedroom decor too. Problem is, money is tight cuz you've got to buy school supplies and kids clothes. It's usually the same problem at Christmas.But if you can manage to squeeze out some extra money right

I've been busy updating all my pages on Decorating Kid Rooms. So far I've updated about 20 pages and added these three new ones: Window Decorating Ideas - About the different kinds of window blinds and shades, how to choose which kind to get, plus some ideas for customizing them yourself.Kid's Valance - How to make your own gathered tab valance.

It seems like summer just got here, and it's already time to be thinking of decorating that dorm room at college. Three things come to mind when thinking of moving into the dorm, besides being away from Mom & Dad and sort of on your own ;^).Organizing your space: It seems like you always tend to bring more than you have room for.Color and Decor: How bland is your dorm room, and what are you

Have you noticed all the recalls lately? The last year has been unreal! The continual recall of children's products that contain lead is the biggest issue. And what gets me is, this has gone on for months and months.Why are these products not checked before they 'get loaded on the boat' and leave China? What's safe to buy for the kids for Christmas?Be sure and check out the kid's safety page, and

Okay, so it's not quite Spring cleaning time in most places. But here in the south, we've 'bout had it with winter (although it has been mild) and are ready to get in the cleaning mode.So go through all the closets, drawers, attics, garages and storage sheds and round up all that stuff you don't need or want anymore and have a yard sale. Then you'll have some spare room and a little extra money

If you love orange, but are afraid to use it, this is the time of year you can get away with it whether it works or not! You won't have to answer all those sneering questions like, "Do you REALLY like orange?". Use pumpkins and mini gourds, candles and fall wreaths with the oranges,cranberry and golds in them.Then after you've lived with it through Halloween and Thanksgiving, you can decide if

Moms, this is a great time of year to redecorate the kids rooms and get them involved in the process!Put down some painter's cloth on the floor, give them a little roller and paint pan, and they can work on the lower half of the walls while you work above.If you're refinishing some furniture ( check out DIY Decor for some ideas ) and hesitate to let them do the paint finish, by all means they can

How safe is your home for your kids? It's a nice thought that you aren't going to child proof your home, because your kids need to learn to stay away from danger. But is all that yelling and screaming really worth it?Check out my Child Safety page and BookMark it, because it has resources for performing CPR on babies and children, Pool safety, Poisoning information, child proofing your home and

PVC pipe (yes the kind you buy in the plumbing dept at Lowes or Home Depot) is super cheap to use for curtain rods! When you're shopping for it keep in mind that when you see it is 1 1/2" pipe, they are referring to the "inside" measurement. Which means a 1 1/2" pvc pipe is actually almost 2" on the outside. So take your tape measure with you if size matters.If your draperies will cover the whole

In case you haven't noticed, when I changed the Home Page, I added boxes on the right where I list new pages I've added, as well as existing pages that I have changed. So when you visit, hit the Home Page first to see what's new! I've had a couple recent special requests for kid's room themes. Police and Winnie the Pooh.

Another year to get those decorating projects done.
