Gift Idea: Custom Sweatshirt

By

Thanks to Rush Order Tees for sponsoring this post. I received an early holiday gift the other day, and I couldn't be happier! RushOrderTees designed a custom sweatshirt for me using my Mom Home Guide blog logo. It came out perfectly! To make the sweatshirt, I simply gave RushOrderTees an image of my blog's logo. They tweaked the logo to make it look even better and made a beautiful, comfy sweatshirt for me! I like that their products are made with love in Philadelphia, not far from where I went to college.

Sweet & Spicy Grilled Chicken Sandwich

Thanks to Serious Foodie for providing me with the delicious spice rub used in this recipe. My husband and I have been eating more healthy foods lately and have been having more chicken and vegetables for dinner. I've been looking for different ways to serve chicken.

Big Changes in My Life Since my Empty Nest

By

My twins both started college this fall. Coming home to an empty house after my husband and I dropped both of them off was hard. I found that I was weepy on and off for at least the first week or two. I still miss them now, but I have been doing a lot better. A big reason why things have improved is that I have a new job! So exciting. I am working as a content writer for a media company. My job keeps me very busy but I have been having a lot of fun. I also find that I have less time to think about how much I miss my kids. I always planned to go back to work full-time again once my Continue reading...

So when Purple Trail gave me the opportunity to design my own custom planner, I happily agreed. After browsing all of the beautiful planner options at Purple Trail, I chose to customize Continue reading...

Thanks to NewAir for providing me with the beverage fridge reviewed in this post. #newairanniversary #newairusa  My daughter started her first year of college at Smith College in August.
