This post contains Amazon affilate links. Finding enough storage in children’s bedrooms can be tough, but if you buy furniture and accessories with storage in mind, you should be able to find plenty of storage for kids rooms. My daughters, used to enjoy sharing a room together. (They have since gotten their own rooms.) So, when I chose the children's furniture for their room, I chose children's furniture that would give us the most space as possible for storing their things. Their room is fairly large, but not that big, considering that we must fit two twin beds in there, a dresser, Continue reading...

For homeowners whose backyard backs to a chain link fence, lack of privacy can be an issue. Finding ways to create privacy for a chain link fence can be difficult. [tweetthis]How to create privacy for a #backyard chain link fence![/tweetthis] Such is the case with my home's backyard, which has a schoolyard behind it. The school's chain link fence separates the school playground from my home's backyard. The playground is filled during the day and some afternoons with children who are very curious about my activities should I venture into the backyard when the schoolyard is filled.

A New Betta Fish
For the past two years, I’ve been unhappily cleaning the goldfish bowl for my daughters’ two goldfish, Rocky and Swimmy. I hate the job, but since the fish are the only pets my kids have (both my husband and I have allergies) I grudgingly do it. The other day, I upgraded the fishes’ bowl to a more sophisticated mini aquarium. The aquarium doesn’t have a filter (alas – I wish it did, to spare me some cleaning), but it is equipped with a light and a pump. Since the pump pushes extra air into the tank, I figured that we could squeeze one more pet fish into the tank, especially since my girls Continue reading...
August Garden Tour with Mammoth Sunflowers
As August nears its end, I have been relishing the new sunny perennial garden that I planted this summer along the southern side of my home. I will be sad when the summer garden season comes to an end! I have especially been enjoying the mammoth sunflowers that are blooming in the center of my new summer garden. The smallest of my sunflowers is about 5 feet high, but I think the tallest is at least 10 feet high! The first of my sunflowers began blooming about a week or so this August, while one sunflower -- the tallest -- just started blooming today. I totally am going to be planting some Continue reading...

Butterflies, Sunflowers and Ladybugs
The past few days have been busy at Mom Home Guide! A lot happened over the weekend. One of the most exciting things that happened is that the Insect Lore butterflies and ladybugs that we ordered through the mail have started to come out of their metamorphoses! The first to emerge were a few ladybugs, and then two butterflies came out of their chrysalises. My kids are very excited! We are planning to release the butterflies and ladybugs in our new perennial garden when all the butterflies and ladybugs finally emerge – which will probably be by next Continue reading...
New Tween Bathroom Decor
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...
Stenciled Burlap Curtain
Lately, I've been noticing beautiful stenciled burlap curtains and projects on Pinterest and on other blogs. I especially like the stenciled burlap pillows that I found on blog, Ugly Duckling Transformations -- beautiful! So I decided to make a stenciled burlap curtain for my home's downstairs bathroom -- the bathroom that guests to our home usually see. Faux Stenciled Burlap Curtain I like the look of burlap, but I wanted my stenciled burlap curtain to look a little more modern, so I chose a heavy but smooth piece of scrap fabric from my local Joann Continue reading...
DIY Bird Bath from a Clay Pot
It's been a few weeks since I planted my flower garden. Now that my garden is complete, I have been loving it! While the garden has been a haven for me, I've been hoping that the garden would also be a welcome place for birds as well. My kids and I love to bird watch! The garden has lots of phlox, which I've heard can attract hummingbirds. I would love that! Sunflowers are also said to attract birds. But although my sunflower plant is big, it hasn't flowered yet! I am hoping to get a sunflower or two soon! DIY Bird Bath for the Garden I Continue reading...
