Today I'm off enjoying the weekend with my family, so I thought I'd share one of Mom Home Guide's oldies but goodies! A big problem most moms face is how to organize toys for my kids. It seems that these days, kids have way more toys than kids did when I was young. Or, maybe, my parents did a better job of organizing my and my sister’s toys when we were kids than I do organizing my kids’ toys. I just find it hard to organize toys! My daughters’ room doesn’t get cleaned as often as it should because it takes me over an hour just to clear all their toys off the floor and their beds before I Continue reading...
My Top Picks (Wednesday Linky Party Features)
Happy Monday! How is everything in your neck of the woods? Where I live, everyone is getting ready for lots and lots of SNOW!! We are talking a BLIZZARD here! So, before the storm arrives, I thought I'd take the time to share my favorites from the A Little Bit of Everything linky party, which I co-launched with some of my blogging friends last Wednesday. First up, I love the rainbow-striped wall that Carrie of Curly Crafty Mom painted for her daughter's room. She used a laser level to get the even stripes. BTW, did you know that a laser level actually sticks to the wall? I didn't know that! Continue reading...
Scary Toaster Oven Fire and How I Put Out the Flames
My kids and I were having a normal Tuesday night yesterday when I decided to heat up a taco shell and have a second taco for dinner. I put the taco shell into my convection toaster oven, set the timer, and stepped away to my computer (just feet away) to reply to an email. Before I knew it, I smelled burning, and there was a fire raging in my toaster oven! That convection toaster oven has been burning things since the first day we owned it, but I never suspected that it could be such a fire hazard! I should have known not to turn my back on that toaster oven! It's been nothing Continue reading...

Time to Start Thinking About Taxes!
As 2014 draws near to its end, I have been doing what I can to make sure that all my financial records are in order. Part of that means making sure all my documents I will need for preparing my family’s taxes next April are all in one place! (Right now, that means all my receipts are thrown into a storage box in the basement -- LOL.) If you do your own taxes or take care of your famly’s taxes, you might be worried about how The Affordable Care Act (ACA) / Obamacare will affect your taxes. Because The Affordable Care Act is designed to make sure that everyone has health insurance, 2014 is Continue reading...

Pom Pom Holiday Wreath
What do you do when you want to decorate for Christmas, but it's not Thanksgiving yet? You craft a "transitional" holiday wreath that would work just fine as a Christmas wreath but can serve as home decor for just about any other time of year, as well. That was my thinking when I created my Holiday Pom Pom Wreath. Today is the first Thursday of the month, so that means I am sharing one of my home decor tutorials at Ask Anna! Stop by Ask Anna for my full tutorial on how to make this fun and fluffy wreath! The tutorial also includes detailed instructions on how to make pom poms. I shared Continue reading...
Should You Go Solar?
What does fall weather make you think of? I think of fall leaves, hayrides, pumpkin picking and fall home decor! But I also think of chilly fall nights and rising home energy bills! It makes me want to put on a pair of fleece PJs and hide under some warm covers! I'd love to find a way to reduce my home's energy bills this fall and upcoming winter. My husband and I have already installed an energy-efficient furnace, an energy-efficient Nest Learning Thermostat and replaced some of our windows with energy efficient ones. We also do little things to conserve energy like turn down the heat Continue reading...
Back to School Mud Room Area
With fall and winter upon us, and the school year into full gear, having a family mud room is essential. I know one is needed in my house! We need a place to hang our coats and drop off our sometimes wet and muddy shoes. My home isn't very large, and we don't have a coat closet by the front door, so we have created a "mud room" out of a small space. This is what I have found helpful to have in our "mud room" space: 1. Easy-to-Clean Floors: Tile flooring is great for a mud room floor, since it's easy to clean and durable. My mud room area just inside my home's front door Continue reading...
