ARTS & CRAFTS sew clever crayon roll


Coloring is a great way to occupy little hands when you're out and about, but you rarely have a fresh pack of crayons handy when you need them.  This clever crayon roll keeps a rainbow of colors neatly organized and protected, ready to toss in your tote bag for impromptu art sessions at the restaurant, the pediatrician's office, you name it! This craft requires beginner to intermediate sewing skills, but there's a great step-by-step tutorial complements of gussysews.com to help you along.

THE FAIRMONT FIVE online shops for school and office supplies




Earlier this week I put together a list of fun (and hopefully helpful) school and office supply stores in the OC area. Today, it's all about the online shops.  Here are my top five places to browse (not necessarily in order):
  1. Dick Blick Art Supply
  2. Stubby Pencil Studio
  3. See Jane Work
  4. Russell + Hazel
  5. Sanrio (Yes, I still refuse to part with my Keroppi pencil box from the 6th grade! Ah, memories...)
Pictured above is a little round up of some things that caught my eye this season--clockwise from top left: Multicultural Construction Paper, Nerdy Hello Kitty Flash Drive, Eco Pencil Highlighters, "Handy Handle" Pad, Signature Three Ring Binders

HOW TO...organize with apps

With school back in full swing, organization is key for student success...and for parent sanity. To all you busy parents, we offer this round up of apps that will turn your smartphone into an organization super genius (and give you a some extra free time). 


Teux Deux takes the daily to-do list to a new level.  Tasks are organized by day and can be easily crossed off or dragged and dropped to another day. We love the clean layout and that Teux Deux is both a website and an app, allowing you to reference it at work and on the go. ($2.99 for iPhone) 


Awesome Note could not be more awesome...calendar, to-do list, organizer, digital filing cabinet, recipe book, and more. This little app does it all in style. ($3.99 for iPhone and iPad and there's a free lite version)


iRewardChart makes Chore Charts a breeze by allowing you to easily track each child's responsibilities and rewards in one convenient place. ($3.99 for iPhone, free for Android) 


RedRover has been called the "best of the best" in play date apps. This mom-designed app lets you invite people from all your contact lists into a private social network and shows you kid-friendly stops nearby to help you schedule the perfect play date on-the-go. (Free for iPhone) 


Happy organizing!

oc school supply shopping...A to Z


The other day, someone was asking about where to find school supplies.  To help, I've pulled together a few of my favorite local shops for school and office supplies.  I really love Seed People’s Market in Costa Mesa (for eco-friendly finds) and the Art Supply Warehouse in Westminister (for everything else). Depending on my list, I’ll also hit up local chains like The Container Store, Target and Paper Source.
