Ever since my husband and I moved into our new home about 15 years ago, I've wanted to put flooring in our home's attic. Our attic wasn't built with flooring, so until recently, we didn't store anything in our home's attic. It was such a waste of good storage space! My husband meant to put in Continue reading...

How to Host a Fun Girls Movie Night

This post is intended for an audience of adults age 21 and older. This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and Bacardi. All opinions are mine alone. #SignatureSips #CollectiveBias If you are like me, you’ve gone to a few movies in 2017. But you probably missed the “mom” or “chick” flicks you wanted to see. That’s because you most likely saw the latest action/sci-fi or animated movies with your husband and kids. I think it would be fun to get together with a few friends and watch some of the 2017 movies that moms loved last year. During the party, my husband can take the Continue reading...

DIY wood slice heart token for Valentine's Day

Wood Slice Valentine’s Day Tokens

By

This post contains Amazon affiliate links. TGIF, everyone! I am so happy that the weekend is nearly here! This week has been quite a busy one, so I thought I'd share a mini project I completed this week! Earlier this week I shared my tutorial for my Scrappy Valentine's Day Wreath. The wreath was really quite thrifty since I repurposed leftover craft materials from Christmas. It doesn't always work out when I create a craft project out of supplies I already have on hand, so I'm excited about how my wreath turned out! I  even used a bow from a gift basket my family received on this Continue reading...

Oriental Trading sponsored this post. I received free product in exchange for my honest review. I love decorating my home's console table for the seasons. With Valentine's Day around the corner, I decided it was time to decorate the table for Valentine's Day! I found all the items for my Valentine's Day table on Oriental Trading's website, which has a great selection of party and decor items for Valentine's Day. The item on my Valentine's Day console table I am most excited about is my 20" Black Letter Board Kit from Oriental Trading. Letter boards have been very popular lately, and I Continue reading...

Scrappy Valentine’s Day Wreath {Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop}

By

Welcome to the first 2018 monthly Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop, hosted by My Pinterventures. The purpose of this Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all the participants of this hop (and you too) to not just pin, but to make it happen! So this month, I chose to make/create a Valentine's Day wreath inspired from Pinterest. I am always pinning stuff that inspires me on Pinterest. I have more than 14,000 pins on my Mom Home Guide Pinterest boards! (As you can see, I spend a lot of time dreaming and planning!) I just enjoyed a long weekend with my wonderful daughters and husband. Plus, I Continue reading...

Chalk Painted Jewelry Chest

By

I am a Decorart blogger and received free product for the completion of this project. All opinions expressed in this post are 100% my own. As I plan out my projects for 2018, I thought I'd take the time to share one of my favorite past projects -- my chalk painted jewelry armoire. The jewelry chest belonged to my grandmother, and now that it has been repainted, it holds a place of honor in my home's upstairs hallway. Updating Furniture with Chalk Paint I never thought I'd refinish furniture -- I am more of an artsy craftsy person. But after using Americana Decor® Chalky Continue reading...

boho lace and ivy grapevine wreath for the Christmas and winter holidays

Lace and Ivy Boho Christmas Wreath

By

Thanks to UglyChristmasSweater.com for providing the sweater for the ugly Christmas sweater giveaway. Welcome to the 12 Months of Wreaths blog hop! Today my blogging friends and I will each be sharing a DIY homemade wreath for the holiday season. Since the holiday season can be so rushed and busy, I decided to simplify things for my own wreath. I went with a simple natural/bohemian look that I crafted with just a few things from my local dollar store. For my wreath, I combined the idea of a traditional ivy/grapevine wreath with a dreamcatcher look to create a calm, simple wreath for the Continue reading...

Fall Decorating Ideas

By

Happy Monday, everyone! I love fall decorating. So far this season, I've decorated my living room console table for fall, and have made a DIY fall welcome sign for my home's front porch. I'd love to do some more fall decorating. But before I do, I thought it would be fun to share some of the ways I've decorated my home for fall this year and previous years. My DIY fall welcome sign is my most recent fall decorating project. I made the sign with some wood, chalk paint and crafting supplies I already had on hand. In all, this decor project only took me about an hour! Last year I Continue reading...

Concrete Block Raised Garden Bed

By

  Over a year ago, I created an outdoor seating area in my yard with a few concrete/cinder blocks and some wood. Sadly the top of the bench didn't last long. Just before this summer, the wood warped, and the adhesive that held the wood to the concrete block base of the bench dried up. I debated whether to fix the bench or find another use for the concrete blocks. My family and I never used the bench much, so I nixed the idea of rebuilding it. (Even though the bench was pretty!) I thought about building a fire pit with the blocks, but my daughters didn't think we'd use it much. Continue reading...

DIY fall gallery wall

DIY Fall Gallery Wall

By

I love decorating my home for the seasons. My decor isn't always planned -- sometimes I go where my whims take me. Recently, a trip to my local Target store spurred a new DIY fall gallery wall in my home's living room! For me, my home is one big craft/art project! Luckily my hubby doesn't complain about it much. When I shop at Target, I love stopping at my local store's dollar spot area. On one recent trip, I was lucky enough to snag an inexpensive blank pallet-style wooden sign, a wooden "Family" cutout, some silver and gold fall-themed transfer stickers, and some wooden autumn leaves. I Continue reading...

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, INC. and The Coca-Cola Company, all opinions are mine alone. #GoldPeakLattes #CollectiveBias The fall is a busy time for moms like me. I'm on the run getting school supplies, making my kids' breakfasts and lunches on school days, helping out with homework and taking my daughters to and from after-school activities.

Styling a Sofa with Throw Pillows

By

I love to decorate my home. I especially like making new throw pillows or sewing throw pillow covers for the pillows on my living sofa. That's because I've discovered that switching out the throw pillows in a room is one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to decorate a room.     For instance, the above photo shows how I decorated my home's living room last fall. The colorful blue and yellow patterned pillows are the brown thrown pillows that came with the sofa -- I simply covered them with DIY envelope pillow covers. (Check out my envelope pillow cover tutorial for more Continue reading...
