Amazon Big Spring Sale: Multi-Purpose Flexispot Standing Desk

written by Lauren

A standing desk is a great gift for a mom home office - Amazon has mine available!

This post contains Amazon links. I love my Flexispot standing desk—during the past three and a half years as a content writer for a Philadelphia-area marketing company, I loved the ability it gave me to spend less time sitting during my day. It allowed me to reduce my sitting time, giving me the flexibility to stand while writing stories, proofreading content, and attending remote meetings. I even put my walking pad underneath my desk so I could get some steps in during long meetings or while while proofreading magazines. Now, after being laid off, I've discovered a new feature of Continue reading...

Inexpensive Patio Pet Enclosure

written by Lauren

My dog fence works perfectly as a pet-safe patio enclosure.

This post contains Amazon affiliate links. This post was previously published on Mom Home Guide—I am sharing it again with new updates since it ranks among one of the best DIY projects that my husband and I have completed for our home! Today I'm sharing a project my husband and I completed—or, I should say, HE completed! When the weather gets nice, I like to spend a lot of time outside. The only problem I have is that our yard isn't fenced, and I have a 7-year-old Shih Tzu who wants to be with me all the time! Plus, he is not one to listen to commands, so having some kind of fencing is Continue reading...

Artful Day Trip to South Jersey

written by Lauren

A visit to art Installation Rusty the troll in Burlington County, NJ

This week, my family and I visited a very cool art installation in Hainespoint, NJ, called “Rusty,” which was built by artist Thomas Dambo.  It’s a sculpture made of trash that towers at least two stories high. The Danish recycling artist who built it creates large-scale artworks around the world to call attention to how our world is drowning in trash while our natural resources are diminishing. Aptly, a sign in front of Rusty reads, "Don't feed big Rusty!" The sculpture was fun to look at from various angles and to take selfies with!  Behind it is an abandoned Continue reading...

Planting Spring Bulbs in Planters

written by Lauren

planting spring bulbs

Happy Sunday! I can't believe that Halloween and the end of October are almost here! This past weekend, I took some time to get some spring bulbs planted. Spring Bulbs in Planters Earlier this month, Longfield Gardens had a sale, so I purchased 100 tulip bulbs, 100 daffodil bulbs and 50 crocus corns in bulk. Yesterday, I decided to start planting them! That day, I nestled about half of the tulip and daffodils and all the crocus corns in 11 planters. Today, I hope to plant the rest in my front yard gardening bed. As you see in the below photo, the tulip and daffodil bulbs came in Continue reading...
