Since we moved a couple of months ago, one of my primary focuses has been working on kids room decor ideas for the kiddos. As I work to outfit their room without breaking the bank, I've become obsessed with how a few simple projects can take a room from pretty cute to over-the-top kidtastic. In my latest hunt for inspiration, I rounded up 7 awesome ideas for kids rooms that I thought you'd love, too. From funky pillows to colorful wall art and cozy little blankets, there's something here for every crafting skill level.

America Ferrera graduated last week from USC, ten years after she started going for her BA in international relations. The Ugly Betty star understandably got a little side-tracked by her TV and film career, but she was thrilled to be crossing the finish line. Let's face it, many actors who become successful when they're young don't even finish high school, let alone college. But there are a few who've wanted to experience life as a co-ed -- you know, beer in plastic red cups, the freshman 15 -- at least for a little while. Here's a look at 7 celebrities who've sampled the undergrad existence with different degrees of commitment. --By Sarah Bernard

The summer time is a great time for travel. Access to time off from work, the cool summer breeze in our faces and the Vitamin D in the air urging us to explore and get out into the world often convinces us to do some sort of travel. Whether we're going for a day trip or a week long getaway, as pet owners there are a few extra precautions we need to take into consideration when we're out exploring the world. According to the Travel Industry Association of America, approximately 30 million people travel with pets each year. Over 49 percent of U.S. adult leisure travelers consider their pet to be part of the family and 18 percent of U.S. adult leisure travelers usually take their pets with them when they travel. With those statistics, it's safe to say there will be a lot more pets on the road this summer as we go on our adventures, and their safety is an important part of preparing for our our trips. Veterinary Pet Insurance Co, one of the largest provider of pet health insurance, reminds us that as pet owners, preparation is the key to ensuring a fun and safe vacation.- By Devan McGuinness

Walking your pup on a bright sunny day is a breeze. Your dog gets exercise while you talk to neighbors or enjoy a leisurely stroll around town. It's not even a chore. However, dogs and rainy weather is an entirely different story. There are days when getting your dog to relieve himself can be an all-day (miserable) affair. Lately, I am paying extra attention the weather forecasts focusing on what time the rain is supposed to start. If (and this is a big if) the forecasters are correct, I try to put my dogs out in the yard an hour before the rain comes because every pet owner knows that dogs and rainy weather can be an unfortunate blend of bad scent and filthy floors. It's not always possible, but when it works, it's a lifesaver. The times I can time it perfectly, my dogs are relieved and can happily snooze through the thundershowers, avoiding the whole wet mess. Of course, there are those days when it rains all day long or rain comes quite unexpectedly. Consequently, I have gathered some helpful ways to care for dogs in rainy weather which have worked for me. - By Danielle Sullivan
