Hey, everyone! If you’ve been here at Mom Home Guide, you might have noticed some subtle changes to the blog. At least I hope you noticed! Mom Home Guide’s photos now have fun Pin It buttons, and there are new Related Posts images/links at the bottom of each post. I was able to add these features from what I've learned by reading Abby from Just a Girl and Her Blog’s new ebook on how to start a blog, Building a Framework: Everything I Learned My First Year of Blogging.

I am so excited because that room is now one of the inspiring spaces featured in Cristin Frank's new book, Rooms Repurposed: A Purposeful Home, A Purposeful Life, available on Amazon.com!
