Kitchen Organization Tips for Busy Moms

October 30, 2013 By Lauren

country kitchen, organize, farmhouse

It’s often said that the kitchen is the heart of the home, but unfortunately for many moms, the kitchen is often the central point for something unwanted – piles of clutter. So, I am always searching for new tips on kitchen organization! My kitchen tends to accumulate a lot of clutter, too. My kids like to do their homework on the kitchen table (even though there’s a desk for them upstairs), so we often have to take the time before dinner to clear off homework, pencils, books, etc. The kitchen table is also where I tend to leave the mail for my spouse to see when he comes home, so junk Continue reading...

Kitchen Wine Glass Rack

October 28, 2013 By Lauren

wine, glass, storage, rack, kitchen

The cabinet space in my kitchen is limited, so I recently added some extra storage to my kitchen with a wine glass rack to hang some of my more decorative wine glasses. My husband isn't a wine drinker, so it isn't often that we drink wine together, but I do like to serve wine occasionally when my dad stops by for dinner, or when I have friends over from the block for a ladies' night. The wine glass rack that I chose -- the Oenophilia Under Cabinet Stemware Rack -- was just under $13 and can hold six wine glasses, plus my two margarita glasses. The wine glass rack was really simple Continue reading...

Chain Link Fence Privacy Solutions

September 9, 2013 By Lauren

how to get patio privacy

For homeowners whose backyard backs to a chain link fence, lack of privacy can be an issue. Finding ways to create privacy for a chain link fence can be difficult. Such is the case with my home's backyard, which has a schoolyard behind it. The school's chain link fence separates the school playground from my home's backyard. The playground is filled during the day and some afternoons with children who are very curious about my activities should I venture into the backyard when the schoolyard is filled. (Luckily, the schoolyard is quiet and empty most weekends.) So, if I'd Continue reading...

DIY Bird Bath from a Clay Pot

August 5, 2013 By Lauren

DIY, how to, bird bath, clay pot

It's been a few weeks since I planted my flower garden. Now that my garden is complete, I have been loving it! While the garden has been a haven for me, I've been hoping that the garden would also be a welcome place for birds as well. My kids and I love to bird watch! The garden has lots of phlox, which I've heard can attract hummingbirds. I would love that! Sunflowers are also said to attract birds. But although my sunflower plant is big, it hasn't flowered yet! I am hoping to get a sunflower or two soon!     DIY Bird Bath for the Garden I Continue reading...

Striped Chalkboard Paint Wall

July 14, 2013 By Lauren

This past spring, I created a fun hangout / study space / playroom for my kids in an upstairs hallway. The hallway used to have a big desk in it that nobody in my family was using and bare, white walls. So I decided to make the large hallway into a cool space my kids could use. A new feature of the wall is our a striped chalkboard paint wall. I painted a green accent wall, added a fun wall decal and added some beanbag chairs and a TV. Now, my daughters like to play and read on their Kindles and watch TV in the new hangout space / playroom. I also moved their Calico Continue reading...
