The time has come to announce the lucky winner of the $500 WalMart Gift Card, so they can do a Your Zone makeover of their very own! Are you ready? Thank you to everyone who participated in the contest. Big thank you to WalMart for giving us the opportunity to redo the room and take the new product line for a test drive!

There's still some time to enter my contest ! We recently did a room makeover, thanks to the generous folks at WalMart, and my gosh, Chef's room is STILL CLEAN!!!!! Talk about motivation to get your kid to keep things tidy, lol. Oh, and we found the Tiki String lights we bought to go with all the Polynesian resort furniture we had originally bought Chef from Mouse Surplus. They're hanging from the frame of that loft bed. It's too cool. So, what are you waiting for? Write a blog post about the contest, check you WalMart's Your Zone products and you might have a chance to go shopping!

We were sent a $500.00 WalMart gift card and given a mission: redo a bedroom whatever way you like within that amount for your teen. If you asked me to do it anywhere else, I think I could buy a bed and a dresser and be done. The whole point of Your Zone is that your teen can change things without breaking the bank. First up, let's find a bed! The beds the boys have are the bunk beds we bought at Ikea back when Chef graduated out of a crib. ...
