NEW: Oeuf Perch Bunk Bed

I love the modern, eco-friendly collection that Oeuf has to offer, remember the squeeze me mittens? Well, Oeuf has just introduced the Perch Bunk bed and it is the perfect centerpiece for your child’s bedroom. It offers multiply configuration options with a sleek design. Did I mention it is eco-friendly too? I especially love it in the above configuration — that would be perfect for Eben’s room. Jump over to Inhabitots to see all of the ways that the Perch Bunk can fit into your home decor + I think it would be lovely for children who share a room!

2011 HGTV Green Home Giveaway – Denver, Colorado

Hello everyone. Have you seen the 2011 Green Home that HGTV is giving away? Wow. Wouldn’t that be fantastic to win? I am pretty sure if we won, I could convince Mr. Sweet Greens to move back to chilly Colorado, no? I would move in — in a heart beat!

Wow. This three bedroom, two bathroom home was designed by Michael Woodley and built by Infinity Home Collection. I am in love with the green materials, eco furnishings and one of kind furniture pieces and the colors! They also used no VOC paint and recycled flooring. Mr. Sweet Greens’ would go crazy for the solar system, drought-tolerant landscaping and the LEED Platium Certification.

This home has a value at $700,000 and comes complete with a 2011 GMC Terrain and $100,000. I don’t know about you, but I am definitely entering this giveaway every single day!

If you won, would you relocate to Colorado?

Strawesome Reusable Glass Straws Giveaway

Today’s giveaway is super fun! It’s sponsored by Strawesome and one lovely reader will receive a handcrafted glass straw!

Straweseome is my favorite place for reusable glass straws that are super durable and look great in a smoothie. I love the combination of colors and designs! My favorite part is some of the decorative straws have a raised design, so when you lay them on the table, they don’t roll away. Brilliant!

Strawesome straws are well awesome because you can take them with you wherever you go and they are made of glass so you can use them over and over again! Imagine how many plastic straws could be saved from the landfill if everyone used a reusable glass one. Not to mention, glass doesn’t leach harmful chemicals like plastic does.

My family loves our Strawesome straws – they are the only ones that we use! We are especially fond of the smoothie and bend straws! And since they are super affordable and come with no-break guarantee, you can’t lose.

Jump over to Strawesome and check out the fantastic selection and pick up a straw or two for your family. Then, leave a comment below. You have until April 8th to enter – please invite your friends.

***Extra Entries: You can receive additional entries by Facebooking, Tweeting, Stumbling or Subscribing. Just leave a separate comment for each that you do.

* UPDATE: The winner is Sarah, thank you to everyone for playing!

Mini Thimble Garden

One thing that I absolutely love about gardens, is that they come in all shapes and sizes. What do you think of this mini thimble garden? Could you keep it alive? If so, get planting and let me know how it goes. If not, that’s alright, you can buy the print here.
