*This post contains Amazon.com affiliate links. I am going to the Haven Conference this week, so I have been very busy packing and getting ready! But before I leave for the conference, I want to share with you what I did with the framed scrapbook art I created – I made a new gallery wall for my newly furnished living room! I'd love to show you how to create your own gallery wall! I just love how my new living room came out! The room used to be pretty much empty and only housed a piano and two toy chests. Now, it's a spot where my daughters and I like to sit and read, or look out the Continue reading...
Framed Scrapbook Paper Art
Hey, everyone! Are you ready for summer? I sure am! To get ready for summer, I decided to add some colorful art to my home’s living room. I recently redesigned my home’s living room and I am having fun bringing fun prints and colors into the room. I didn’t want to pay a lot for new art for the room, so I decided to make my own custom DIY art with scrapbook paper! To get started with my scrapbook paper art, I looked for scrapbook paper in colors that make me feel happy! I found some great scrapbook paper on sale at my local craft store for just $5 a pack! Can't beat that. The Continue reading...
4th of July Wreath Tutorial
Hey, everyone! The Fourth of July is almost here, so I though I'd share a really easy patriotic 4th of July wreath tutorial. You can make this red, white and blue wreath with your kids using inexpensive supplies from the dollar store! I actually made this patriotic Fourth of July wreath last year with my kids, and I can't wait to put it back up on the front door! My kids and I love to decorate our front door for the holidays throughout the year, so we needed a Fourth of July wreath. Since we didn't already have a red, white and blue wreath, we picked up some supplies from our local Continue reading...
Mason Jar Succulents
A few weekends ago, my family and I were invited to a wonderful backyard barbecue with good friends. Three of my great "mom" friends were there, so I decided to make them all personalized gifts. I made a potted succulent plant for each friend -- I planted the succulents in pretty green mason jars. I think this gift is wonderful for anyone who adores plants. Potted succulents also make for lovely teacher appreciation or end of the year gifts! This gift might even please some dads for Father's Day! I found some great succulents at my local Wal-Mart store. Succulents are hardy plants that have Continue reading...
You’ll Never See Me Post About…
As a blogger, I share much of my life online. Readers of Mom Home Guide see everything from how I recently decorated and furnished my living room, what I’ve recently planted in the garden and my latest DIY projects, like the throw pillows I made for my home’s new sofa. There are things you’ll likely never see me post about online, however! There are reasons why I’m a home décor/DIY blogger and not a family/parenting blogger. A main reason is that I’m obsessed with decorating and improving my home. Part of the reason is that blogging is my choice, not my family’s. I’m open to sharing my Continue reading...
Easy Cloth Napkin Pillows
Hello! I am back talking about easy DIY pillows again. (I last posted about my cloth placemat pillows.) As you probably know, I am in LOVE with my new Mohawk Home area rug, and my La-Z-Boy sofa, which I adore dressing up and making look pretty. So, when I found 4-packs of cloth napkins on sale at Target for less than $3 a pack, I had to snag them! I just love the pretty prints. I knew I could transform the cloth napkins into DIY cloth napkin pillows for my new La-Z-Boy sofa! I bought three packs of the cloth napkins. Since four napkins are in each pack, I could make 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...
Happy Spring Crafts
I can't tell you how happy I am that it is now spring! The winter was a tough one for my family, what with my broken wrist and my family's recent bout of the flu. Here's hoping for a healthy and happy spring! New Spring Flowers When I was outside today, I was thrilled to see that some of my flowers are beginning to poke up through the soil. It looks like my tulips are starting to grow, and some of my flowers in my southern exposure garden are starting to break through the soil, too! My family is just starting to get better from the flu, so I wasn't able to tackle any Continue reading...
