This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of iBulb for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I have long been a big fan of lilies. My parents grew lilies in the backyards both of my childhood's homes when I was growing up, so I have a sentimental attachment to them. It is easy to remember the beautiful patch of orange day lilies that grew in our backyards. I always remember the lilies as a hallmark of the many fun summers that I spent in my backyard with my family. Now that I am a homeowner, I have planted both orange and yellow day lilies in my flower beds, and I just love Continue reading...

DIY Flower Tower
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Miracle-Gro for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Now that spring is here, I’d like to add some color to my home’s patio and backyard. Just the other day, I picked a project that would give me quick results, since I wasn’t up to putting in the hours and work that would be required for me to start a flower bed in my backyard. I’ve been noticing a lot of great flower tower projects by other homeowners across the Web and on Pinterest, so I thought I’d give it a try! Flower towers take gardening to new heights for even novice gardeners Continue reading...
Springtime Gardening
The weather was so nice here in New Jersey yesterday, that I just had to get outside and start some springtime gardening! The first thing I did was prep one of my backyard's raised garden beds to plant some peas. We hadn't planted our peas until yesterday because until then, we've had unseasonably cool weather, so I was afraid to plant them! To prep the raised garden, I weeded, loosened up the existing soil with a sturdy rake and added a layer of new topsoil from the garden store. When the kids got home, we dug a few 2-inch trenches for the peas, and planted our peas! From some Continue reading...
Attracting Goldfinches to Your Yard
Until recently, I was a very sad birding enthusiast. I had a few bird feeders in my backyard, but all they seemed to attract with our birdseed were non-colorful blackbirds and morning doves. So I did some reading on attracting goldfinches to your yard and hoped for the best. That was until I purchased a very simple and inexpensive netted sock bird feeder ("thistle sack") from a local grocery store. Filled with nyjer/thistle seed, the sock attracted beautiful black and yellow Eastern Goldfinches (New Jersey's state bird) to my backyard daily. Now, when I feed the birds, it looks Continue reading...
Mom Home Guide House Tour
I just love looking at online house tours of other mom bloggers' homes. One house tour I recently saw was that of blogger Jenna from SAS Interiors. I just love how beautiful her home looks, from her tidy and clutter-free foyer, to her modern kitchen with beautiful wood floors to the serene master bedroom. I wish my home was so masterfully designed! To me, my home is a work in progress. Over the past few months, I've completed a few home improvements, like making our home's mudroom/foyer area more functional, creating a fun study/media/play space for the kids and adding Continue reading...
What’s New on Mom Home Guide
Here at Mom Home Guide, I've been getting ready for spring with Easter Crafts, an Easter giveaway, some decorating for the kids and some spring gardening! Check out what I have been up to! Crafting a Simple Easter Flag I am always astonished at how much it costs to purchase small decorative garden flags — most cost at least $10. So recently, I’ve taken to making my own garden flags. I don’t even have to travel to a local craft store to get the fabric — I’ve been purchasing fabric for my garden flags from my local Walmart, which has a fabric section.

Planting Peas in a Vegetable Garden & Giveaway
The other night I was treated to a great dinner at a Mexican restaurant with my good friend, Lela, her family, and my husband and kids. I've known Lela for more than 20 years, and she has become like a sister to me! She noticed that I was wearing the lovely charm bracelet she gave me a few months ago for my birthday, as well as a two-peas-in-a-pod green and silver charm that I've added to it. She noted that she loved my "gardening" charm. I bought the charm to symbolize my twins, but it really is a great charm to represent the gardening that both Continue reading...
Craft: a St. Patrick’s Day Garden Flag
With St. Patrick's Day nearing, I'm getting ready to get out some emerald green decor! My first step will be to hang my handcrafted St. Patrick's Day garden flag, which was quite simple to make. To learn how to craft your own St. Patrick's Day garden flag, read more in this below tutorial, which I posted last year. With St. Patrick's Day coming up, I wanted to hang a St.Patrick's Day-themed flag in my garden. But I am always surprised at how much those tiny garden flags cost. For instance, a Leprehaun hat garden flag runs about $12 at Amazon.com. So, using the leftover fabric from Continue reading...
