While we love a fella who doesn't mind hand-washing some china, certain chores seem to fall disproportionately in the "dad" camp -- those that require lifting something heavy, touching something icky, or evicting a many-legged roommate (eek!).

But there's no reason you can't mow lawns and wash cars with the best of them. This Father's Day, save him the trouble of cleaning the garage -- and learn to do it better than he can.

Waste Management

Taking out the trash may seem banal, but better technique can make the whole thing more pleasant. Store extra liners under the current one for easy access -- and rather than surrender precious floor space to piles (or dig through it all on collection day), build a sorting station to hold recyclable items as they accrue.

I grew up in a family of five children. And we played A LOT of games. When the summer came, my mom would kick us outdoors, so we'd have to figure out what to do - and it usually involved games outdoors as well. We'd make up our own games, or we'd build them out of cardboard boxes or whatever we had available. I have fond memories of that time, and I thought it would be fun to put together a collection of outdoor games so that you can create your own fun memories as well.

The all-things-home expert just launched a colorful lifestyle collection for JCPenney, aptly named Happy Chic.

For recent high school grads, the summer before college can seem super slow. (Just get me to campus already!) You've got a few more months of relaxation before the milestone move-in day, but now's the time to start thinking about your dorm decorating plans. At the launch party for his JCPenney line, we asked designer Jonathan Adler (known for his signature ceramics and colorful embroidery) all about the art of furnishing your first bedroom away from home.

At the event, Adler was stationed near an immaculately decorated mock room filled with patterned pieces and bold accessories from his new Happy Chic home collection. But first: a confession.
