written by Lauren

The Kana Pro Standing Desk is a great way to work fitness into a work day.

This post contains Amazon affiliate links. Over two years ago, I started my new job as a full-time content writer with a Pennsylvania media company. I am a remote employee, and I really enjoy enjoy working from my home office! I have been working to make my office as comfortable as possible, so I thought I'd share a few details of it with you. You might notice that my office is decorated in a Pooh Bear theme - it used to be my twins' baby room. They adore the decor that my husband put up, so we have never changed it! I used to want change out the baby theme, but now I enjoy the Continue reading...

Outdoor Patio Dog Enclosure (Amazon Find)

written by Lauren

I love my easy to install dog fence from Amazon!

This post contains Amazon affiliate links. Today I'm sharing a project my husband and I completed this weekend—or, I should say, HE completed! (Here's a BIG shout out of THANKS to my hubby!) I started a new work-from-home job in September, and have been wanting to create an outdoor office of sorts on my patio. The only problem I had is that our yard isn't fenced, and I have a 4-year-old Shih Tzu who wants to be with me basically 24/7. Which is good until he sees a squirrel and wants to go tearing after it! Thus, the need for the fence! I looked into all sorts of fencing options, Continue reading...

Planting Shrubs and Trees This Fall

written by Lauren

The fall is a good time to plant bushes like hydrangea.

Thanks to PlantingTree.com for sponsoring this post. I've always wanted a hydrangea plant. So when PlantingTree.com asked me if I would like to partner with them, I happily agreed. PlantingTree.com can send trees, shrubs and other plants like ornamental grasses right to your door. Ordering a Hyndrangea Plant in the Mail I decided to order an endless summer hydrangea plant. Once I ordered my hydrangea plant, it only took it 3 days to get to my door. My 1-gallon hydrangea ($59.95) arrived on my doorstep in perfect condition with big, beautiful green leaves. With Planting Continue reading...

Celebrating Graduation in a Big Way – Mega Yard Display

written by Lauren

graduation lawn display

Thanks to Card My Yard Millstone for partnering with Mom Home Guide for this post. Yesterday my twins graduated from high school! I can't believe how quickly time has flown! Surprisingly, I didn't cry at their graduation ceremony yesterday. But I admit that I did cry the night before! I happened to drive by my kids' high school Tuesday evening and got weepy. I realized that I will no longer be driving my twins to school! Even though I thought I didn't like driving them to school at about 7 am whenever they missed the school bus, I did enjoy those times together in the car. I've Continue reading...

Easy Patio Planter Posts for String Lights

written by Lauren

string lights hung from DIY planter posts

Thanks to Thompson's for providing the Waterseal Waterproofing Stain used in this post. I've always wanted to add extra lighting to my home's patio. When we moved in, our patio only had the one light fixture by the back door, which did little to light up the patio. Last summer I put up simple patio planter string light posts that I secured with Sakrete (quick setting concrete) in planters and hung string lights from. Last week I decided to add a few more DIY patio planter posts and an extra length of string lights. I chose Edison-style outdoor string lights for my DIY string light Continue reading...
