Now that December is here, my kids absolutely cannot wait for Christmas! So, I came up with the idea of creating cute numbered advent calendar boxes -- my kids can open one up each day as we count down to Christmas. Yesterday, I created a few advent calendar boxes, for 23, 22, 21, 20 and 19 days until Christmas. I'll eventually add the other boxes as we get closer to Christmas! In each box, I nestled yummy treats, stickers, and other fun finds. They opened the 23 days until Christmas box yesterday to find a large piece of bubble gum each. They were happy to get the gum! I got my Continue reading...

My daughters (who are both 10) have hit the tween years, and I have to say that buying gifts for tweens can be tough!

Christmas Decorating
My Recollections ornament boxes makes unpacking the Christmas ornaments so much easier. It snowed here in New Jersey yesterday. My daughters were so excited! I am trying to wait until after Thanksgiving to decorate for Christmas, but I know at least one of my daughters would like to start decorating for the Christmas holiday NOW! Especially since the snow has put them both in the holiday spirit -- one of my daughters has been wearing a Santa's hat to bed every night already! Christmas Organization Thanks to some organizing I did just after last Christmas, Continue reading...
Thankful Banner – Giving Thanks
As busy moms, we can sometimes forget to take the time to think just how much we have to be thankful for. We get so wrapped up in our families' busy schedules, that we don't take a moment to step back and look at the big picture. So, as Thanksgiving nears, I wanted to start a project for my family that will not only add some fun holiday color to our home, but will help us to realize how lucky we are to have each other, our home, our kids' school, our community, and more. Thanksgiving Thankful Banner I've seen Thanksgiving thankful banners on Continue reading...
Mom Blog Giveaways
As you all probably know, I just love to read other mom blogs! I love seeing how other moms organize and decorate their homes, and I like trying out their recipes! Something else I love about mom blogs is their giveaways -- I am always entering them, and have been lucky with them as of late. A few months ago I won a Kindle Fire HD from a mom blog that I gave my husband for his birthday, and my blog's beautiful new redesign was won through a contest on a mom blog! There is even a contest running on Mom Home Guide right now -- a chance to win a $500 online shopping spree from Lamps Continue reading...
Garage Organization (a Garage Pegboard)
Ever since my family and I have moved into our home, we've rarely parked in our garage. Our garage is so narrow that it takes VERY careful maneuvering to get our family's mini van into the garage! With winter only a few months away, however, I'd love to get the garage cleaned out enough so that if a major snowstorm is forecast, I can get the cars into the garage if I want to! (I hate cleaning off snow-covered cars in the cold!) Getting Organized I hope to focus my organizing efforts on the garage and get some wall storage into place. I already plan to make a mini mud room area Continue reading...
Crafty Wine Glass Charms
I love wine glass charms -- they add a little whimsy to a party or a moms' night out, and they make it so much easier to distinguish whose glass is whose (especially after a few glasses have been poured and enjoyed). But, wine glass charms can be pricey -- "Ladies Night Wine Class Charms" from Wine Enthusiast sell for $24.95 -- plus, it can be difficult to find charms I like. So, when I saw some cute and simple charms in the jewelry section at my local craft store at the low price of $2.50 for 6, I scooped them up. I also then bought some earring hoops/findings (with rhinestone accents) Continue reading...
