We just love all these brand new crayons waiting to be used.

All About the Packaging: Napkin Flowers

Nobody throws away the few napkins leftover after a party. Soon you have a stack of multi-colored napkins. What do to? Well, besides using them, you can turn them into amazing flowers. Mayi Carles at HeartMadeBlog.com has a fantastic tutorial that will have your place abloom with paper flowers in no time!

Love Links: Crap I've Made

We'd love this site just for the name alone, but there's more. Char has filled her site with great tutorials, projects and tips. And don't even get us started on the Slurpee costumes.

What to Do: Try It

If there's something you've always wanted to do, go for it. Maybe it's pottery or rock climbing. Most places have beginner and one-day classes. Take a look, give it a try and you might just find your newest hobby.

Five Faves: Kids' Travel Items

Summer time means vacations and weekend get-aways. Here are our five fave travel items for kids.

BoostApak
It's not always possible to pack light when kids are involved but the BoostApak sure helps. Not only does this backpack hold your child's toys, it then converts into a booster seat.

Melissa & Doug License Plate Game
Here's a fun, low-tech game that will keep kids occupied in the back seat for quite awhile.

Fozzils Discovery Pack

Everything your child may need for the beach is in the Fozzils Discovery Pack and the beauty of it is that it all packs completely flat!

gogo Kidz Travelmate

Make bringing our child's car seat less of a hassle with gogo Kidz Travelmate. Simply attach it to the car seat and you're on your way.

Lunchbots Rounds

Most kids are going to need snacks of some sort while in transit and you're going to need containers for them. Lunchbot Rounds fit the bill for containers: leakproof, compact, free of BPAs and eco-friendly.
