Kitchen Organization Tips for Busy Moms

written by Lauren

country kitchen, organize, farmhouse

It’s often said that the kitchen is the heart of the home, but unfortunately for many moms, the kitchen is often the central point for something unwanted – piles of clutter. So, I am always searching for new tips on kitchen organization! My kitchen tends to accumulate a lot of clutter, too. My kids like to do their homework on the kitchen table (even though there’s a desk for them upstairs), so we often have to take the time before dinner to clear off homework, pencils, books, etc. The kitchen table is also where I tend to leave the mail for my spouse to see when he comes home, so junk Continue reading...

Kitchen Wine Glass Rack

written by Lauren

wine, glass, storage, rack, kitchen

The cabinet space in my kitchen is limited, so I recently added some extra storage to my kitchen with a wine glass rack to hang some of my more decorative wine glasses. My husband isn't a wine drinker, so it isn't often that we drink wine together, but I do like to serve wine occasionally when my dad stops by for dinner, or when I have friends over from the block for a ladies' night. The wine glass rack that I chose -- the Oenophilia Under Cabinet Stemware Rack -- was just under $13 and can hold six wine glasses, plus my two margarita glasses. The wine glass rack was really simple Continue reading...

Spooktacular Halloween Decorations

written by Lauren

Yesterday after school, my kids and I got into the Halloween spirit by putting up some Halloween decorations. My kids and I had so much fun together! On our front door I put up some pumpkin Halloween lights that my kids just adore. We then spread a gigantic cotton Halloween spider's web across the bushes in front of our house. My kids had fun stretching the web to cover as much as possible, and even pretended to be stuck in the web itself! Once our web was in place, we added a creepy big black spider to our Halloween decorations. Fun! Creepy Halloween Decor Now that my kids are older, Continue reading...

Fall Mason Jar Candles

written by Lauren

fall mason jar candles with autumn nuts

I have been loving all the fun mason jar crafts  and fall mantles I've been seeing on Pinterest, and have been wanting to make some of my own! So when my daughters and I collected a whole bunch of nuts from underneath a local tree, I knew I had a project on my hands! (I think the nuts are hazel nuts, but I am not sure!) My Fall Mantle I had just started my fall mantle, so I thought some autumn mason jar candles would be a good addition! I first got started with my fall mantle by adding fall-themed stickers to an inexpensive stretched burlap canvas that I had purchased at my Continue reading...

Bosch Ascenta Dishwasher Review

written by Lauren

bosch ascenta dishwasher review

It’s been about a  year since a new Bosch Ascenta dishwasher from Lowe’s has been installed in my home's kitchen. so far, it's been working great. The dishwasher is super quiet, and to date, it’s working well. I often use the delay start on my new Bosch Ascenta Dishwasher, and it works fine. Smaller, More Frequent Loads One possible drawback I’ve found to the Bosch Ascenta dishwasher is that the rack space in the dishwasher is much smaller than the space I had in my old GE dishwasher. But this drawback has turned out to be a plus for me. I used to hold off on running my GE dishwasher Continue reading...

Living Room Ideas

written by Lauren

For years, I have been trying to figure out what to do with my home’s living room. The long, narrow room leads from my home’s front door to the kitchen and the family room in my open-concept home. Since the room is a main thoroughfare in my home, I haven’t wanted to block the flow of traffic with furniture. So, I've been searching for small living room ideas. Plus, when my kids were tots, the carpeted living room space, which is just off the kitchen, was a great place for them to play. (That is why today, two toy chests still sit in the living room.) The only other furniture pieces of Continue reading...

DIY Jewelry Organizer

written by Lauren

diy picture frame jewelry organizer

I've seen a lot of DIY jewelry organizers on Pinterest and on other blogs, and I love them. So, when I was at the dollar store the other day and saw the materials I needed to make my own DIY jewelry organizer, I snapped them up. First, I picked up a simple $1 black document frame with silver trim. Then, I found some silver thumbtacks, also for $1. I figured that the thumbtacks would add a little bling to my DIY picture frame jewelry hanger. MY DIY Jewelry Organizer Later that day, while catching some TV with one of my daughters, I decided to get started on my picture frame jewelry Continue reading...
