Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member Blueleafboutique from the Su Casa group:

As a mom, I love when I find cute things that also teach my kids something. That is what I had in mind when I designed my alphabet nursery pillow cover. This has catapulted me into a whole line of nursery decor that I want to design for my Etsy shop.

For this piece I kept it gender neutral with a soft blue duck fabric and soft very pale pink thread. My 3-year-old son couldn't resist trying to name all the letters as I posed the piece for pictures.

Love It or Hate It? Aakkoset Bookcase

A bona fide typography nerd, I gravitate toward alphabet motifs in all shapes and forms. From throw pillows emblazoned with letters to quotation mark bookends, the typography trend is one that I wholeheartedly support.

So imagine how excited I was to discover this Aakkoset Bookcase by Ugandan-born designer Lincoln Kayiwa, which uses each letter's form as a nook to hold books, CDs, magazines, accessories, and more. It can also be left empty and used as a room divider for open-plan living spaces or studios. Better yet, if you're not enthused about rouge, it can be ordered in black, blue, green, orange, violet, white, or yellow. I think it would be terrific in a playroom or elementary school. Is it too modern for you or do you love it too?

OnSugar Blog: Alphabet Throw

Lots of moms like to think out loud!
by OnSugar Blog

Lots of moms like to think out loud! Hansel and Gretel shared a lil learning game on her OnSugar blog, Hansel and Gretel.

It is so exciting when your child recognizes letters and numbers. Children are sponges and soak so much information and their memories are unbelievable, which can sometimes bite you on the backside.

When I noticed that Tyler was taking a real interest in letters, I began to think about some five minute learning games that would encourage this curiosity and recognition of letters. It was important that I waited until Tyler was clearly interested and ready, otherwise it would mean nothing and he would only get frustrated.

One simple alphabet activity that stems back to when I was teaching 'Early Years', is quick, fun and easy.

All we need is three paper plates, three catching bean bags and a thick texta.

See how to set up the game by reading the rest of the post here. Want to see more? Start following OnSugar blog Hansel and Gretel, or start your own OnSugar blog. We may just feature your content on LilSugar.

C Is For Cherishing Cars

Much to mama's chagrin, c is not for cocktails.

Reed & Barton at ShopStyle


Much to mama's chagrin, c is not for cocktails. Well, at least when it comes to nursery decor, and anyone who thinks otherwise might want to read Sippy Cups Are Not For Chardonnay. Much like the non-drinking transition during pregnancy, switching from butterflies to cars requires a shift in gears. Leave the fancy flutter behind and press full steam ahead toward the checkered flag.

Indulge in the silver plated Reed & Barton race car or canvas racetrack wall art. Accent the room with street-filled pillows, car and truck bedding, vrooming storage bins, and decorative lamps. Wee ones will be thrilled for the new rides in their room. Now . . . on your marks, get set, go! And don't forget to come back for D.

As a self-described dork, I say with pride that I love fancy fonts and creative alphabets. I wish I could type letters to people using the beard alphabet you see up there, or maybe the butterfly wings alphabet in the gallery below.
