Hello! Here at Mom Home Guide, I've been busy reviewing some of my posts from 2012. It's a good reminder of all the projects I've completed the past year, but most importantly, it's a BIG reminder of all the projects that I HAVE YET TO COMPLETE! A really big project that I need to finish is the garage. For years, I've wanted to install a garage opener in the garage. (I want to make entry into the garage during the cold winter much quicker!) But, before I can complete that project, I need to finish painting the garage -- I only have about 1.5 of the walls painted and I have to Continue reading...
Planting Peas in a Vegetable Garden & Giveaway
The other night I was treated to a great dinner at a Mexican restaurant with my good friend, Lela, her family, and my husband and kids. I've known Lela for more than 20 years, and she has become like a sister to me! She noticed that I was wearing the lovely charm bracelet she gave me a few months ago for my birthday, as well as a two-peas-in-a-pod green and silver charm that I've added to it. She noted that she loved my "gardening" charm. I bought the charm to symbolize my twins, but it really is a great charm to represent the gardening that both Continue reading...
Mary Kay Giveaway
My friend and Mary Kay Independent Sales Director, Shanna Polignone, just dropped off my latest Mary Kay order. I am fairly new to Mary Kay, and I love it! l really enjoy their products, and I like that I can try them out in the privacy of my own home. (I hate those makeup counters at the mall!) My newest Mary Kay love is a Mary Kay Compact Mini. I adore the compact’s smaller size, since it can easily fit into my (overstuffed) purse. I love that the compact is so versatile – it has a tray on top for my eyeshadows and blush, and one below for my Mary Kay makeup brushes and applicators. The Continue reading...

Craft: a St. Patrick’s Day Garden Flag
With St. Patrick's Day nearing, I'm getting ready to get out some emerald green decor! My first step will be to hang my handcrafted St. Patrick's Day garden flag, which was quite simple to make. To learn how to craft your own St. Patrick's Day garden flag, read more in this below tutorial, which I posted last year. With St. Patrick's Day coming up, I wanted to hang a St.Patrick's Day-themed flag in my garden. But I am always surprised at how much those tiny garden flags cost. For instance, a Leprehaun hat garden flag runs about $12 at Amazon.com. So, using the leftover fabric from Continue reading...
How to Create a Raised Garden Bed
Last year was a busy year! I started this website, and thankfully, at least a few people have read it! Thanks everyone for your visits! It's been a fun year. For all you new readers out there, I thought I'd post some of the most-read posts from 2012 -- enjoy!

We started small and Continue reading...

Where I Party — Linky Parties
Today, I will be hitting a few mom blog linky parties, where I like to share my projects, and look at other great projects from other bloggers. One place where I am sure to stop by today is Home Stories A to Z. This mom blogger hosts a tutorials and tips party every Monday. It's a fun place to find fun crafts to do with your kids or to find decor projects you can do for your home. I also plan to stop by Not Just a Housewife, where she is hosting her "Show Me What Ya Got" party on her mom blog -- there are already a lot of great home decor and organization projects Continue reading...
Mod Podged Craft Letter
Over the weekend, I finally got around to Mod Podging my craft letter. I've always liked large crafty letters, so I though I would make one of my own. The project was really easy -- I just traced the craft letter (backwards) on the back of some pretty green striped scrapbook paper I found at the craft store. Using a paint brush, I painted Mod Podge onto the top of my craft letter, and applied the scrapbook paper on top. To give the craft letter some shine, I painted some Mod Podge on top. I also added some scrapbook stickers on top for decoration. I was going to place the Continue reading...
Spice Up Your Pot Roast
I've been wanting to spice up my pot roast for a while now. I make a pot roast at least twice a month -- it is easy, tasty and my family loves it. I like to make it in the slow cooker, since all I have to do is throw the ingredients in, turn on the slow cooker, and I have a delicious meal ready for my family a few hours later! But, I've been a bit disappointed with how bland my pot roasts have been. My husband tends to like spicer foods, and following in their daddy's shoes, my kids tend to like more flavorful foods, too. So, I've been looking for new pot roast recipes, but most have very Continue reading...
