Hello! Today is a beautiful day here in New Jersey, and that's no April Fool's! Tomorrow I'll have something new for my readers -- Mom Home Guide's first linky party! The party is being hosted by Ginger of Ginger Snap Crafts in honor of her blog's two-year anniversary. To celebrate, she's chosen a few bloggers (including me!) to co-host this week's Wow Me Wednesday linky party. The party will go live tomorrow (Tuesday) at 7 p.m. central time. The party is your chance to link up your blog and a recent project, and to visit other blogs and see projects that other bloggers have created. I Continue reading...
Attracting Goldfinches to Your Yard
Until recently, I was a very sad birding enthusiast. I had a few bird feeders in my backyard, but all they seemed to attract with our birdseed were non-colorful blackbirds and morning doves. So I did some reading on attracting goldfinches to your yard and hoped for the best. That was until I purchased a very simple and inexpensive netted sock bird feeder ("thistle sack") from a local grocery store. Filled with nyjer/thistle seed, the sock attracted beautiful black and yellow Eastern Goldfinches (New Jersey's state bird) to my backyard daily. Now, when I feed the birds, it looks Continue reading...

With some kids home from spring break this week, plenty of parents will be looking for fun activities to do with their kids. These are some of the fun things that I've already done or have planned for my kids, and I am sure your children will love doing these spring break activities for kids, too! Start a Spring Garden In the Mid-Atlantic States, where I live with my family, now is a great time to begin a spring garden by planting some peas. Peas are a super easy crop to grow. So, I am hoping to start some peas with my kids tomorrow. Planting peas is not hard-- last year all I did Continue reading...

Moen Kiran Spot Resist Kitchen Faucet
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Moen, Incorporated for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. My home has a casual simple style, but I do like to keep it clean. That’s why I think the Kiran Spot Resist one-handle pulldown kitchen faucet would be a great fit for my home’s kitchen. The faucet is spot and fingerprint resistant, which as a mom, are two very important features! My time can be very limited, so if my kitchen faucet can look clean with less effort from me, I am good! It is especially important that every aspect of my kitchen looks clean, because with my Continue reading...
Find Your Perfect Home at Apartments.com
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of apartments.com for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Early on in our relationship, my husband and I lived in a central NJ town not far from Princeton, NJ. It's been quite a long time since we lived in that town, so I decided to check out what our former hometown and its housing options are like now by looking up the apartment complex where we lived on apartments.com. I found apartments.com quite simple to use -- just by typing in the name of the town, I quickly found a detailed list (with photos) of the apartments now available Continue reading...
Mom Home Guide House Tour
I just love looking at online house tours of other mom bloggers' homes. One house tour I recently saw was that of blogger Jenna from SAS Interiors. I just love how beautiful her home looks, from her tidy and clutter-free foyer, to her modern kitchen with beautiful wood floors to the serene master bedroom. I wish my home was so masterfully designed! To me, my home is a work in progress. Over the past few months, I've completed a few home improvements, like making our home's mudroom/foyer area more functional, creating a fun study/media/play space for the kids and adding Continue reading...

You might have noticed that I write a lot about making my family's home a more beautiful and organized space for my kids. I've written about children's furniture that add storage to a kid's room, how to organize children's toys, how to convert a basement into a fun and organized playroom, and how I turned a large upstairs hallway into a fun media and study space for my children. Needless to say, I've done a lot of research into how to organize kids rooms in a home!

What’s New on Mom Home Guide
Here at Mom Home Guide, I've been getting ready for spring with Easter Crafts, an Easter giveaway, some decorating for the kids and some spring gardening! Check out what I have been up to! Crafting a Simple Easter Flag I am always astonished at how much it costs to purchase small decorative garden flags — most cost at least $10. So recently, I’ve taken to making my own garden flags. I don’t even have to travel to a local craft store to get the fabric — I’ve been purchasing fabric for my garden flags from my local Walmart, which has a fabric section.

An Easter Garden Flag Craft
I am always astonished at how much it costs to purchase small decorative garden flags -- most cost at least $10. So recently, I've taken to making my own garden flags. I don't even have to travel to a local craft store to get the fabric -- I've been purchasing fabric for my garden flags from my local Walmart, which has a fabric section. So I thought it would be fun to do an Easter garden flag craft. The inexpensive garden flag that I crafted for my home's front garden. Most recently, I made a leprechaun garden flag. (The fabric from that flag came from Joann.com.) But now that Easter is Continue reading...
