Bosch Ascenta Dishwasher Review

October 17, 2013 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 Continue reading...

My Bread Machine

March 7, 2013 By Lauren

I’ve long thought about buying a bread machine, but held off, thinking that the small appliance would become a short-lived fad, only to take up the limited space in my cabinets. But, I am happy to say that since I have purchased my bread maker, the Zojirushi 1-Pound-Loaf Programmable Mini Breadmaker from Amazon.com, the appliance has a permanent place on my kitchen counter. I like the bread machine's mini profile, that the machine is so easy to program (most times, I just press “start”) and that its parts – like the baking pan and the kneading blade – are so easy to clean. Easy Continue reading...

Mrs. Smith’s Signature Deep Dish Pies

January 27, 2013 By Lauren

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Mrs. Smith's for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. My family has been a fan of Mrs. Smith's pies for a long time. My kids love the Classic Apple Pie, while my husband particularly likes Mrs. Smith's Dutch Apple Pies. What I love about the pies is that I can pop them in the oven, and within minutes, I have a deliciously warm pie that I can serve to my family. I recently learned about Mrs. Smith's Signature Deep Dish pies, and I am excited to try them! What I like about these pies are that they are deep dish, meaning each Continue reading...

My New Pampered Chef Bar Pan

December 3, 2012 By Lauren

As I mentioned a while back, I had a Pampered Chef party recently. It was wonderful having some friends over for the party, and now I have been having fun trying out my new products. Last night, I tried out my new Pampered Chef Medium Bar Pan. The pan normally retails for $25, but I got it for 60% off as a host benefit from my Pampered Chef consultant, Rose Cardone Slack. I bought the pan because I have very little to cook on in the oven. I have a few old cookie pans that I usually cover with foil when I cook meat in the oven. I figure that I can use the Pampered Chef bar pan, which is made Continue reading...

My Blogroll

November 28, 2012 By Lauren

Before I started blogging on MomHomeGuide.com a few months ago, I knew very little about mom bloggers. When I sought home décor, DIY and decorating ideas, I mainly turned to consumer magazines, television programs on HGTV, and stories on HGTV.com. But since reading other mom bloggers’ blogs, I’ve been doing most of my reading online and spending less money on magazine subscriptions. (Which is wonderful for me, because I am saving money AND creating less clutter in my home.) I LOVE the ideas that these other mom bloggers have, and get tons of inspiration from their DIY, decorating and Continue reading...

Keurig K-Cup Home Brewer — A Hot Father’s Day Gift!

November 27, 2012 By Lauren

I love my family's Keurig K-Cup Home Brewer. I originally bought the coffee maker as a gift to give to my husband for Christmas, but my kids convinced me to give the brewer to him right away, since he often drinks coffee on the way to work in the morning. If the man in your life doesn't have a K Cup home brewer, it would make a perfect Father's Day gift! The brewer has become a family favorite. My kids love it, because now they can make their own hot drinks on their own, instead of asking me to heat up some hot apple cider, hot chocolate, etc., in the microwave. I keep large mugs in a great Continue reading...

Storage for Kids Rooms

November 15, 2012 By Lauren

Lily Rose twin bed with drawers underneath

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, 8, are twins and naturally enjoy sharing a room together. 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, and as many places as possible to stash all their toys. So, Continue reading...

Hoover WindTunnel T-Series Pet Vacuum

My New Hoover WindTunnel T-Series Pet Upright Vacuum

August 9, 2012 By Lauren

Hoover WindTunnel T-Series Pet Vacuum

I just got a new vacuum. The vacuum I purchased is the Hoover WindTunnel T-Series Pet Upright Vacuum, Bagged, UH30310 from Amazon.com.     I've only used the vaccum a few times to date, but so far, I have to say, I am liking it. The machine has great suction and at just 15 pounds, is a lot lighter than my old machine -- which is terrific. I need a light machine because my home (unfortunately) has wall-to-wall carpeting, including on the stairs that lead to my home's second level.  (I would prefer wood floors, which look better and gather less dust, but they are Continue reading...

Pinning for Home Décor

April 9, 2012 By Lauren

mom picks

  Homeowners shopping for home décor have a great new tool available to them. Pinterest, the social media platform that debuted in March 2011, is perfect for home shoppers who are looking for decorating ideas and suggestions, and who need a place to see how those ideas work together. On the site, users can “pin” images that they like from across the Web to visual boards they create. For instance, in MomHomeGuide.com’s Pinterest account, I’ve created a board entitled “Small Living Room.” To that board, I’ve pinned loveseats, accent chairs and other décor that I think would work Continue reading...
