I’ve found that goal setting, or establishing small goals each month helps me to get things done! My friend Carrie at Curly Craft Mom got me started on this helpful habit of goal setting! The recap of my September goals are at the bottom of this post. These are my October Continue reading...

I am loving the custom print I made from Canvas Factory of the grennery I saw during one of my family's trips to local gardens.

Custom Bathroom Art & Canvas Factory Giveaway

By

I was provided a custom photo canvas from Canvas Factory in exchange for my review. All opinions expressed here are 100% my own. I enjoy updating and decorating my home.

The photo I chose for my canvas is an iPhone photo I took during a visit with my daughters to our Continue reading...

How to install a new shower head -- it s easier than you think!! Only takes a few minutes, even for a beginning DIYer.

How to Install a New Shower Head Tutorial

By

  * I was given a free Waterpik shower head in exchange for my review. All opinions expressed I this post are my own. Ever since my husband and I moved into our new home, the downstairs bathroom sported the same old, paltry shower head that the builder had installed. It was so ugly and unexciting! The shower head was small and over the years got caked with mineral deposits. I really wanted to install a new one, but wasn’t sure if I knew how! After reading a few online tutorials, I decided to give it a try! It turns out that it's not so hard to install a new shower head! The Continue reading...

How to Clean Tile and Grout Genie Giveaway

By

All of my home's bathrooms have ceramic tile floors. I like to clean the tile floors with my new Swiffer WetJet, which makes mopping a tile floor quick and easy, with no mess! But while the Wet Jet does a great job in getting dirt up off the tiles, it skims over the grout lines, missing the grime that can accumulate there. In the past, I've had to get on my hands and knees with a sponge to scrub out the dirt. Not anymore -- I've discovered a product for the Swiffer Wet Jet mops that is designed to clean grout lines -- Grout Genie Grout and Tile Pads. The Grout Genie scrubbing pad has a Continue reading...

speedy bathroom cleaning tips

Give Your Bathroom a Quick Clean

By

“I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Scrubbing Bubbles®.  I received product samples and a promotional item to thank me for participating.” I don’t enjoy cleaning my home, and the thing I like the least is cleaning the bathrooms. In fact, I will only clean a bathroom if I can shower immediately after! I tend to clean the bathroom first thing in the morning. Even if I wear gloves while cleaning, I don’t feel clean after cleaning the bathroom. So, I like to clean the bathroom a few times a week before I shower, so the bathroom doesn’t get too dirty!

Happy National Rubber Ducky Day

By

I bet you didn't know it, but today is a special day! That's because it is officially national rubber ducky day! I didn't know about the holiday until just a few days ago, but I am sure glad that I found out! I have been a fan of the rubber ducky ever since I saw Jim Henson's Ernie sing the rubber ducky song on Sesame Street on TV. I sang that song all the time as a child! I used to sing the song to my kids when they were tots, and my daughters told me they always loved when I sang that song! I never knew all the lyrics to the rubber ducky song, but now I do! RUBBER DUCKIE Ernie Continue reading...

mom home guide, 2013, year in review

2013 Year in Review

By

Happy 2014, everyone! I can't believe that 2013 is over! Last year was a busy one here at Mom Home Guide. So, before launching my new projects for 2014, I am going to share the best of what I accomplished in 2013! Here is my 2013 Mom Home Guide Year in Review. Burlap Crafts Burlap was popular in 2013, so like many crafters, I jumped onto the burlap bandwagon in 2013. It was fun! Two of my favorite burlap crafts I completed was my stenciled no-sew burlap valance for my home's downstairs powder room, and my no-sew fringed burlap table runner. Both projects were problem solvers, as I was having Continue reading...

New Tween Bathroom Decor

By

Recently, I finally got around to updating my kids' bathroom. Even though my daughters are tweens now, their bathroom until only a few days ago still sported the same kids decor that I put up for them when they were toddlers. So, I decided to take down the tot stuff and add some tween bathroom decor. I am the sentimental type -- it's hard for me to get rid of toys, even home decor, that remind me of my children's younger days -- it's difficult for me to let go when they graduate to the next stage of childhood! Everything seems to happen way too quickly for me. I can't believe Continue reading...

Moen BoardWalk Spot Resistant Bathroom Faucets

By

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Moen, Incorporated for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Every mom knows that when you have kids, keeping the house clean can be difficult! That is especially true in the bathroom. In my home's main bathroom, I often find that the bathroom faucets are covered with soap and fingerprints -- I even find fingerprints on the towels! My children really try their best do be neat, but as you know, kids will be kids! I've been invited to write about the Boardwalk Spot Resist bath faucet, and on more inspection, I think the faucet Continue reading...
