For the past few weeks, I've been working on redesigning my home’s living room. I am hoping to move the room from its staid traditional/formal look to something more fun!So when Minted.com gave me the opportunity to review their limited edition art prints, I jumped at the chance! Minted, which is well known for its birth announcements, offers a great collection of unique art prints from artists from around the world. The prices for the art is reasonable, and you can customize a print of your choice by choosing your print’s color scheme, size and frame. Custom Art for the Continue reading...
Lemon, Orange and Vinegar Microwave Cleaner
Over the past few months, I have been trying to make the switch from commercial cleaning and beauty products to more natural (and less expensive) homemade ones. That is why I am excited to join some of my blogging friends in sharing our own recipes for beauty and cleaning products! For my product I decided to make an all-natural microwave cleaner. Natural Microwave Cleaner When I clean the microwave, I usually fill a microwavable bowl halfway full with vinegar, microwave it for 1-2 minutes and immediately scrub down the microwave. It works like a charm! I have to tell you, though, that my Continue reading...
2013 Year in Review
Happy 2014, everyone! I can't believe that 2013 is over! Last year was a busy one here at Mom Home Guide. So, before launching my new projects for 2014, I am going to share the best of what I accomplished in 2013! Here is my 2013 Mom Home Guide Year in Review. Burlap Crafts Burlap was popular in 2013, so like many crafters, I jumped onto the burlap bandwagon in 2013. It was fun! Two of my favorite burlap crafts I completed was my stenciled no-sew burlap valance for my home's downstairs powder room, and my no-sew fringed burlap table runner. Both projects were problem solvers, as I was having Continue reading...
Kitchen Organization Tips for Busy Moms
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
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...
Bosch Ascenta Dishwasher Review
It’s been about a year since a new Bosch Ascenta dishwasher from Lowe’s has been installed in my home's kitchen. so far, it's been working great. The dishwasher is super quiet, and to date, it’s working well. I often use the delay start on my new Bosch Ascenta Dishwasher, and it works fine. Smaller, More Frequent Loads One possible drawback I’ve found to the Bosch Ascenta dishwasher is that the rack space in the dishwasher is much smaller than the space I had in my old GE dishwasher. But this drawback has turned out to be a plus for me. I used Continue reading...

How to Make a Fringed Burlap Table Runner
I am so excited -- today I am guest posting for the mom blog, 5MinutesforMom! This Canadian mom blog is a great place for moms and features everything from DIY and craft tutorials, to giveaways to recipes. For 5MinutesforMom, I wrote about a very fun DIY craft I did for my home's dining table.

Safe Kitchen Knife Storage with a Knife Block
We all have them -- the kitchen drawer that is just a mess! That drawer for me used to be the knife drawer. That is, until I purchased an inexpensive knife block. My kitchen counters are already pretty filled with appliances like the toaster oven and my bread maker, so I haven't wanted to purchase one of those countertop knife-blocks for chef knives and other sharp knives. So instead, I used to store all my knives in one big kitchen drawer. But that meant that there were all sorts of knives in that drawer without any sleeves or any sort of protection on them. So, one had to be very Continue reading...
