Make Your Own Pinata
Use some things you already have around the house and some crepe paper streamers to make your own pinata for you child's' birthday. (or in my case, for a full grown man's birthday party!) And the best part? There is no paper mâché involved! No waiting for days while layers of soggy tissue paper try to dry in humid summer weather. In fact, you can whip one of these up in an evening! You will need: A stiff cardboard boxsome thinner cardboard, such as a cereal boxtwo empty toilet paper rolls tape and scissorscrepe paper streamers and a sheet or two of tissue paperpaper and a marker for eyes or other detailsa zip tie, piece of wire or length of sturdy string (to create a loop for hanging!) Start by cutting a donkey shape out of your stiff cardboard box. There we go, that's better! Cut 4 inch wide strips of cereal box. I started with clear craft tape and pretty quickly switched to tuck tape. Poke your wire, rope or zip tie through his back. Repeat with the other toilet paper roll. Candy! Ta-Da!

Gallery Wall Layouts - An Easy How-To Guide
You might have noticed that I tend to think things look all the better when grouped together. This is especially true with small pieces of art on the walls. Today, we'll talk gallery walls 101. In our home, we have a few little clusters of frames, some in traditional gallery wall fashion and some just in groups. I've shown you these two so far (here and here). (For tips on choosing photos for this kind of arrangement, see the original post here). Another grouping of family pics in the kitchen -- this whole project would cost you $11 to replicate! I won't reinvent the wheel by making a guide of templates for you, since I've found some awesome ones out there. And this guide is my fave, because it gives you a sense of how to pair galleries with furnishings. Lastly, I like this one because it has little round frames, too, which I always see at thrift stores. Here are some gallery wall ideas I find particularly inspiring. Colourful mats make this so special, from Martha Stewart of course. xo

Our Instagram Photo Wall » Kevin Hail Photography
Since last year, Amanda and I have been taking photos and publishing them on an iPhone app called Instagram. In a nutshell, it’s a photo community built around “instant” iPhone pics. I’ve found it to be very satisfying way to capture my life, because I always have my iPhone, but don’t always have my dSLR handy. I’ve been awful about printing out my photos and hanging them on the wall. For one thing, frames are so expensive. The frames were super cheap. So the pictures aren’t perfect, the prints aren’t perfect, the frames aren’t perfect…but life isn’t perfect.
The Top 10 Relationship Words That Aren't Translatable Into English | Marriage 3.0
Here are my top ten words, compiled from online collections, to describe love, desire and relationships that have no real English translation, but that capture subtle realities that even we English speakers have felt once or twice. As I came across these words I’d have the occasional epiphany: “Oh yeah! That’s what I was feeling...” Mamihlapinatapei (Yagan, an indigenous language of Tierra del Fuego): The wordless yet meaningful look shared by two people who desire to initiate something, but are both reluctant to start. Oh yes, this is an exquisite word, compressing a thrilling and scary relationship moment. Yuanfen (Chinese): A relationship by fate or destiny. From what I glean, in common usage yuanfen means the "binding force" that links two people together in any relationship. But interestingly, “fate” isn’t the same thing as “destiny.” Cafuné (Brazilian Portuguese): The act of tenderly running your fingers through someone's hair. Ya’aburnee (Arabic): “You bury me.”
