*This post contains affiliate links. I just love looking at online house tours of other mom bloggers’ homes. To me, my home is a work in progress. Over the past few months, I’ve completed a few home improvements, like decorating and furnishing my home's living room, making my home’s mudroom/foyer area more functional, creating a fun study/media/play space for the kids and adding more privacy to my home’s backyard. There are several more projects I’d like to complete — some of the wishes on my wish list include hardwood flooring and making our unfinished basement more livable, but I am not Continue reading...

Coupons.com #SuperheroMom Giveaway
*This post is sponsored by Coupons.com. I received a Target gift card from Coupons.com for this post -- the gift card helped me make my living room remodel happen. (I used the gift card towards a new accent chair!) The living room in my home has always been a family-friendly space. For most of the 11 years we’ve lived in our home, the living room has been a play space and housed only a piano, two toy boxes and some toys. Now that my children are older, I’ve taken back the space and turned it into a bright and pretty sitting room! To celebrate my home’s beautiful new room, I am Continue reading...
Book Review: The Organically Clean Home
I have been hoping to switch to a more natural approach for cleaning my home, so I was thrilled when I was given the opportunity to review The Organically Clean Home: 150 Everyday Organic Cleaning Products You Can Make Yourself--The Natural, Chemical-Free Way, the latest book by writer, blogger and cleaning expert, Becky Rapinhuck of Clean Mama. The book is filled with easy to make recipes for all-natural, organic, homemade and DIY cleaning products that are safer and cheaper than the pre-made cleaning products that you buy at the store. What I really like about Becky's book is that these Continue reading...
DIY Simple Placemat Pillows
I am loving the yellow and green placemat pillows that I made for my brand-new La-Z-Boy sofa! These sofa throw pillows were so easy to make -- I simply made them by stuffing two-sided cloth placemats with pillow stuffing! It took me only about 20 minutes to make these pillows -- I actually finished stitching them when the truck that delivered my new sofa pulled into my driveway! Talk about last minute! Simple Placemat Pillows I love how the yellow and white and green and white and yellow pillows add pops of color to the sofa. I also adore the edging around the pillows -- I didn't Continue reading...

Painted Craft Birdhouses
Monday was my kids' first day back to school after a week with the flu. My husband, kids and I all got a bad case of the flu this month, even though we all got our flu shots! Having the kids home for a whole week got a little tough at the end. Even though my kids were under the weather, they were starting to get bored! Luckily, I had some craft supplies and a box of acrylic craft paints on hand, and my daughters and I spent a fun afternoon together painting birdhouses! The birdhouses and paints are relatively inexpensive and can be found at just about any craft store. DIY Painted Continue reading...
Easy and Quick Way to Clean Stove Grates
One thing I hate to do the most in my kitchen is clean stove grates. I forget about cleaning the stove grates for so long, so by the time I get around to cleaning them, I wind up with baked-on grease that's really tough to scrub off! Yuck! So instead of scrubbing all day long, I use my easy stove cleaning method that I found on -- where else -- Pinterest! Materials Needed 4 Ziploc Gallon Storage Bags A teaspoon or less of ammonia for each Ziploc bag (you only need a small amount per bag) Dish cleaning sponge (I like to use Continue reading...
Countdown Until Spring & Craft Magnets
OK -- enough already! I am so sick of winter! The temperatures are down in the 20s today, and I can't take it! But at least I can take comfort in the cute bird and springtime magnets that I made the other day for my refrigerator door. It makes me think that spring can't be too far off! I can see them right now as I write this post from my "home office" -- the kitchen table! I just love springtime crafts! I found the materials for my fridge craft magnets when I was out shopping for fabric at my local craft store. I have been planning a big redesign for my home's living room, and was out Continue reading...

Nest Learning Thermostat Review and Haven Blog Conference!
As you may remember, I participated in the NRG Residential Solutions Learn & ConserveSM Blogger Challenge and a Nest Learning Thermostat Giveaway with a few other local bloggers in January. Our challenge was to see which blogger could conserve the most amount of energy last month (January). To my surprise, I WON!! Winter Energy Saving My husband and are usually fairly frugal with our energy use – we try not to turn up the heat too much in the winter, we set the thermostat lower at night, and I rarely use the oven – I mostly do my baking and cooking in our Black & Continue reading...
