The Pluses of Buying a New Home

written by Lauren

When my husband and I were house hunting for a new home more than 10 years ago, I picked my town in part because I loved the beautiful historic and Victorian homes that line the streets. But despite all the beautiful older homes in my town, I knew I wanted to purchase a brand-new home. My husband and I aren't handy, so I knew that purchasing a charming vintage home that may require updating and some fixes would be quite expensive for us -- everytime something broke or when we wanted to add our own touches to the home, we would have to pay a contractor to do the work for us. Plus, it is Continue reading...

Moen BoardWalk Spot Resistant Bathroom Faucets

written by Lauren

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Moen, Incorporated for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Every mom knows that when you have kids, keeping the house clean can be difficult! That is especially true in the bathroom. In my home's main bathroom, I often find that the bathroom faucets are covered with soap and fingerprints -- I even find fingerprints on the towels! My children really try their best do be neat, but as you know, kids will be kids! I've been invited to write about the Boardwalk Spot Resist bath faucet, and on more inspection, I think the faucet Continue reading...

Spring Break Activities for Kids

written by Lauren

With some kids home from spring break this week, plenty of parents will be looking for fun activities to do with their kids. These are some of the fun things that I've already done or have planned for my kids, and I am sure your children will love doing these spring break activities for kids, too! Start a Spring Garden In the Mid-Atlantic States, where I live with my family, now is a great time to begin a spring garden by planting some peas. Peas are a super easy crop to grow. So, I am hoping to start some peas with my kids tomorrow. Planting peas is not hard-- last year all I did Continue reading...

Mom Home Guide House Tour

written by Lauren

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...

How to Organize Kids Rooms in Your Home

written by Lauren

You might have noticed that I write a lot about making my family's home a more beautiful and organized space for my kids. I've written about children's furniture that add storage to a kid's room, how to organize children's toys, how to convert a basement into a  fun and organized playroom, and how I turned a large upstairs hallway into a fun media and study space for my children. Needless to say, I've done a lot of research into how to organize kids rooms in a home! Ideas on How to Organize Kids Rooms Are you looking to organize kids rooms and kid-friendly spaces  in your home? Check out the Continue reading...

What’s New on Mom Home Guide

written by Lauren

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.

Sewing Homemade Pillows and Valences

written by Lauren

Husqvarna, sewing, machine, girl scout, patches

Now that St. Patrick's Day is coming up, it might be time to pull out my sewing machine and stitch some handmade valances for my daughters' hall bathroom. I've gotten into the habit of making homemade seasonal valances for our home's bathrooms ever since I got my sewing machine as a gift a few years ago. My husband bought the machine for me because I used to get my fingers bloody when I used to hand sew my daughters' patches on their Girl Scout uniforms. Those patches are so thick (and the iron-on glue on the back of them never stick well) that once I'd finally get the needle Continue reading...

Decorating with Wall Decals

written by Lauren

TV area, wall mural, beanbag chairs

In February, I remodeled a large upstairs hallway into a fun media and study space for my kids. My daughters love it. In the space are bookcases for their books, toys and Kindles, a TV and two large plush beanbag chairs that they picked out. One of the best part of the space is the wall decals I used -- but more on that later! My daughters love using the space to read, use their Kindles to play games and do research for school projects and play with their Calico Critter dollhouses. What they love most about their new space is the accent wall I created for them. The wall is painted a Continue reading...

An Organized Kitchen Command Center

written by Lauren

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. 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 mail and newspapers tend to pile up there, too. Fridge Continue reading...
