Zio Ziegler For PBteen Collection

Tell me this is not the coolest kid bedding ever.

I mean, it’s not even “kid” bedding; not really. It’s just “cool” bedding.

PBteen – a store that I’ve been patronizing for decades beyond when I qualified as a “teenager” (and that I suspect you have too; they have some very good stuff in there) – just released a limited-edition collection of bedding, backpacks and accessories created by artist Zio Ziegler.

DIY Mason Jar Hanging Herb Planter

Last summer I planted my very first herb garden, and let me tell you: not having to run to the supermarket and spend five bucks on a teeny-tiny container of mint or rosemary or thyme every time you need a sprig (or even just a single leaf) is the best. But even if you're an apartment-dweller with no nearby grass or yard or outdoor space to plant in, no fear: you too can have fresh herbs at your fingertips.

Once again: mason jar to the rescue. This DIY takes about three minutes...and is the most satisfying project ever. (It's also a fun project to get kids involved with; you should cut the twine, but they can do pretty much everything else.)

Trays Every Which Way

I have an "actual" home office, you know. Or…I did have an actual home office. Now I have a nursery-in-progress, and a corner of my attic where the desk that used to sit in that room is now wedged underneath a coat rack that also used to sit in that room.

But it doesn't matter: I don't love working at desks, anyway, and on a day to day basis my dining room table functions as my primary workspace. The only problem with this: the dining room table is right there smack in the middle of our house, clearly viewable from both the kitchen and the living room…and mess makes me crazy. And yet work yields mess (papers, pens, random to-do lists, et cetera).

What to do?
