Lemon Gingerbread Easter Cookies

April 7, 2019 By Lauren

Thanks to Ann Clark for providing Mom Home Guide with the quality cookie cutters used in this post. My teen daughters and I made gingerbread cookies for the first time ever last Christmas. We loved the cookies so much! Which got us thinking -- why is gingerbread often reserved just for Christmas? We thought gingerbread cookies would be equally as fun (and delicious) for Easter! I reached out to Ann Clark, a Vermont-based maker of tin-plated steel cookie cutters. All cookie cutters are made from USA-made tin plated steel and are certified food safe. Ann Clark sent me the adorable collection Continue reading...

This post contains Amazon affiliate links. Welcome to the March Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop. 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! This month, I chose to glue and frame a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle that my daughters completed together. The puzzle sat on our big farmhouse kitchen table for a while. I had to figure out how to glue and frame the puzzle, and I also fought off an awful cold virus! Once I was healthy again, it was time to tackle that puzzle! My inspiration for how Continue reading...

Garden Gnome Spring Tiered Tray

February 28, 2019 By Lauren

This post may contain affiliate links, at no additional cost to you. If you spend a lot of time on Instagram and Pinterest, you've probably noticed tiered trays are popular. A tiered tray has 2-3 trays stacked above each other on a single stand. You can DIY a tiered tray, or you purchase one. My 3 Tier Serving Tray is from Amazon. Tiered trays are fun to decorate because with tiered trays, a little decor goes a long way — you are essentially decorating a really small space. So, it's quite easy and fun to change your tiered tray's decor on a whim. I find that often I can use supplies Continue reading...

Farmhouse-Style Spring Bedroom

February 8, 2019 By Lauren

Thanks to Amara.com for providing me with the duvet cover and pillowcases featured in this review. (I received product in exchange for my review.) All opinions expressed in this post are 100% my own.

Among my family's many Christmas ornaments are some beautiful heart ornaments that my husband has given to me. Every Christmas my husband gives me at least 1 new heart Christmas ornament. This year, my husband gave me a whole box of heart ornaments! I wanted to enjoy my heart ornaments a little longer. Continue reading...
