I am hoping to redecorate my home's living room, and I am so excited! For my Christmas gift, my husband made me a popsicle stick sofa (so cute) and said I could go shopping for a sofa. I can't wait! I've done a little shopping so far, and at the moment, I am crushing on West Elm! I love their modern color schemes and their small-scale furniture, which should work for my small living room. I am loving a yellow, brown and gray color scheme. I have my eye on the Paidge sofa. Isn't it cute? At 72.5"w x 38.5"d x 34.5"h., I think it would fit well in my home's small 20 foot x 10 foot living Continue reading...
2013 Year in Review
Happy 2014, everyone! I can't believe that 2013 is over! Last year was a busy one here at Mom Home Guide. So, before launching my new projects for 2014, I am going to share the best of what I accomplished in 2013! Here is my 2013 Mom Home Guide Year in Review. Burlap Crafts Burlap was popular in 2013, so like many crafters, I jumped onto the burlap bandwagon in 2013. It was fun! Two of my favorite burlap crafts I completed was my stenciled no-sew burlap valance for my home's downstairs powder room, and my no-sew fringed burlap table runner. Both projects were problem solvers, as I was having Continue reading...
The Christmas Pickle – A Fun Holiday Tradition
This holiday season, I have been into creating new Christmas traditions for my kids. Just a few days ago, we started using our new decorated advent gift boxes to count down until Christmas -- my daughters have been having so much fun opening the boxes each morning to find little treats and surprises for them nestled inside! Christmas Pickle Ornament Yesterday, I was in a local dollar store and was very happy to find glass pickle ornaments for just $1 each! I've heard of the tradition of hiding a glass pickle ornament in the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve, and have always been curious about Continue reading...
7 Christmas Advent Calendars
I just love advent calendars. Since I've created my gift box advent calendar for my kids, I've been noticing other really great advent calendars from other blogs. I'd love to create one of these other advent calendars and add to the fun my kids and I have been having with our advent calendar! Gift Box Advent Calendar To create my family's advent calendar, I gathered some of the mini gift boxes I've saved over the years. I used some scrapbook paper to decorate the boxes, and either hand numbered them or used number stickers to number each box. In each box, I placed special treats Continue reading...
Christmas Advent Calendar Boxes
Now that December is here, my kids absolutely cannot wait for Christmas! So, I came up with the idea of creating cute numbered advent calendar boxes -- my kids can open one up each day as we count down to Christmas. Yesterday, I created a few advent calendar boxes, for 23, 22, 21, 20 and 19 days until Christmas. I'll eventually add the other boxes as we get closer to Christmas! In each box, I nestled yummy treats, stickers, and other fun finds. They opened the 23 days until Christmas box yesterday to find a large piece of bubble gum each. They were happy to get the gum! I got my Continue reading...
Christmas Decorating
My Recollections ornament boxes makes unpacking the Christmas ornaments so much easier. It snowed here in New Jersey yesterday. My daughters were so excited! I am trying to wait until after Thanksgiving to decorate for Christmas, but I know at least one of my daughters would like to start decorating for the Christmas holiday NOW! Especially since the snow has put them both in the holiday spirit -- one of my daughters has been wearing a Santa's hat to bed every night already! Christmas Organization Thanks to some organizing I did just after last Christmas, Continue reading...
Thankful Banner – Giving Thanks
As busy moms, we can sometimes forget to take the time to think just how much we have to be thankful for. We get so wrapped up in our families' busy schedules, that we don't take a moment to step back and look at the big picture. So, as Thanksgiving nears, I wanted to start a project for my family that will not only add some fun holiday color to our home, but will help us to realize how lucky we are to have each other, our home, our kids' school, our community, and more. Thanksgiving Thankful Banner I've seen Thanksgiving thankful banners on Continue reading...
Spooktacular Halloween Decorations
Yesterday after school, my kids and I got into the Halloween spirit by putting up some Halloween decorations. My kids and I had so much fun together! On our front door I put up some pumpkin Halloween lights that my kids just adore. We then spread a gigantic cotton Halloween spider's web across the bushes in front of our house. My kids had fun stretching the web to cover as much as possible, and even pretended to be stuck in the web itself! Once our web was in place, we added a creepy big black spider to our Halloween decorations. Fun! Creepy Halloween Decor Now that my kids are older, Continue reading...
Fall Mason Jar Candles
I have been loving all the fun mason jar crafts and fall mantles I've been seeing on Pinterest, and have been wanting to make some of my own! So when my daughters and I collected a whole bunch of nuts from underneath a local tree, I knew I had a project on my hands! (I think the nuts are hazel nuts, but I am not sure!) My Fall Mantle I had just started my fall mantle, so I thought some autumn mason jar candles would be a good addition! I first got started with my fall mantle by adding fall-themed stickers to an inexpensive stretched burlap canvas that I had purchased at my Continue reading...
