My daughters head off to middle school in the fall – time has flown by so quickly! I have been trying to savor every moment with them this summer. So this week, that meant baking an easy Dr. Pepper chocolate cake recipe together with chocolate buttercream icing! I found Kirsten Oliphant’s Dr. Pepper cake recipe on Pinterest, so I had to try it. My kids and I all love Dr. Pepper, so Continue reading...
Giveaway: Preserving Family Memories – #DivaMemories
This review and giveaway was made possible by Double Duty Divas and YesVideo. I received the featured service free of charge to facilitate my review, but all opinions are 100% mine." For years, my husband and I have been meaning to transfer the family videos of our twin girls from our old cassette tapes to DVDs so we can enjoy watching my kids’ baby videos. My husband gave me a video camera for my birthday a few months after my twins were born, and I used it to video many family memories. The camera had all the bells and whistles at the time, but it is now about 10 years old and has been Continue reading...
Summer Bucket List
Happy Friday, everyone! I am so glad that summer is here! My kids spent their first week of summer vacation at all-day summer camp, but next week they will be home, so I am so looking forward to spending next week with them! My daughters are transitioning into middle school next year, and are now tweens, so I want to make sure that we spend a lot of fun quality time together this summer while they still enjoy spending time with their mom! This morning, I brainstormed some fun summer activities that my kids and I can enjoy together -- my summer bucket list! Summer 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...
Straight Talk About Invisalign Vs. Traditional Braces
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Invisalign. My daughters are just 11, but already one has had braces and retainers, and one is most likely going to need some orthodontic work any day now. For my daughter who has already had braces, her braces made her self-conscious, and she was embarrassed to be seen in her braces. That is why I am so happy to be working with Invisalign and their Invisalign Teen Straight Talk campaign and their Straight Talk Sweepstakes -- Invisalign will award one sweepstakes winner a full Invisalign treatment for an adult or child! (Check out the Continue reading...
Easy Chocolate Chip Cookie Chipwich Recipe
Editor's Note: With my kids' elementary school graduation and dance and piano recitals coming up, this week is going to be busy! So today, I am re-sharing a favorite recipe of mine -- semi-homemade chocolate chip cookie chipwiches! (I say semi-homemade because the ice cream is store bought.) I served these last year for my daughters' 10th birthday, and the chipwiches were a hit! My twin daughters recently celebrated their birthday. For their birthday, I've done almost every kind of cake for them so far, so when I invited their grandfather and aunt over the other day for a mini birthday Continue reading...
Kids Bedrooms
*This post contains affiliate and sponsored links. Finding enough storage in kids bedrooms can be tough, but if you buy furniture and accessories with storage in mind, you should be able to find plenty of storage for kids rooms. My daughters, 11, are twins and enjoy sharing a room. So, when I chose the children’s furniture for their kids room, I chose children’s furniture that would give us the most space as possible for storing their things. Their room is fairly large, but not that big, considering that we must fit two twin beds in there, a dresser, and as many places as possible Continue reading...
Mom Home Guide House Tour
*This post contains affiliate links. I just love looking at online house tours of other mom bloggers’ homes. To me, my home is a work in progress. Over the past few months, I’ve completed a few home improvements, like decorating and furnishing my home's living room, making my home’s mudroom/foyer area more functional, creating a fun study/media/play space for the kids and adding more privacy to my home’s backyard. There are several more projects I’d like to complete — some of the wishes on my wish list include hardwood flooring and making our unfinished basement more livable, but I am not 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...
