After our kitchen construction was finished I was eager to stock it and organize it. I remember ages ago, when I moved out into my first apartment, my dad took me to Walmart and helped me pick out everything I’d need in my new kitchen. Keeping that experience in mind I did the same thing when it was time to stock our outdoor kitchen. We were starting from scratch so I needed all the necessities, including silverware, napkins, plates, bowls, cups, scrub brushes for the dishes, etc. The only difference between our outdoor kitchen and a regular kitchen, is that… Read More
Outdoor Kitchen Reveal!!!
I am so excited to finally get to show you our outdoor kitchen! It’s been done for a couple weeks but I wanted to get it decorated before I showed you the final reveal… and it’s time!!! Before I show you the “after” pictures I have to show you what it used to look like, you know me, I love a good before and after picture! And here’s what it looks like now. Seriously, weeks later I am still pinching myself because I can’t believe it’s real! I love the whole kitchen but my most favorite part about it are… Read More
How to Organize a Kitchen Coffee Station
Hi! I am Lauren from Mom Home Guide. My husband and I are BIG coffee and tea drinkers — for me, a hot cup of English Breakfast tea with a little milk and sugar is heavenly. My husband and I used to store our Keurig coffee maker on our kitchen counter, but it took up way too much space! So, I bought a stylish glossy black rolling kitchen cart online (for just under $145) and converted it into a really useful kitchen coffee cart! I adore how the cart makes my otherwise simple kitchen a lot more glamorous! The cart came in… Read More
Deck Expansion Reveal!
I know you’re all probably dying to see the outdoor kitchen makeover reveal, and I’m dying to show it to you, but I’m still waiting for a few things to get here before I can show it to you. (Don’t worry, it’s worth the wait) But in the meantime I thought I’d show you how our deck expansion turned out. Remember how narrow and dysfunctional our old deck was. It was so skinny that you couldn’t be sitting in a lounge chair and have someone walk by you without almost falling in the pool and look at that little table,… Read More
Easy Minion Cupcakes
I don’t know what it is about the Minions that gets kids so excited (I’m probably just too old to get it) but all I know is that kids LOVE the Minions! I personally haven’t seen any of the movies but my daughter loves them and is excited about the new movie coming out in a couple weeks. We had friends over for a summer play date the other day so for a fun treat I decided to have Malea help me make Minion cupcakes and of course the kids loved them! They were super easy to make, here’s what… Read More
Hunger Games Capitol Party (a Panem themed birthday)
If you’ve been following me for awhile then you know that I love to throw a good party, especially for my birthday. I threw a 1920’s party for my 30th, a Mad Men party the next year and last year I threw a Celebrity Couples themed party. But this years theme took the cake. We were sitting around talking last year, the day after my Celebrity Couples party, and tossing out ideas for what this year’s theme should be, when my husband suggested doing a Hunger Games Capitol party. I thought it was genius and couldn’t wait to get started!… Read More
How to get Wax off Fabric and Everything Else (Video Tutorial)
Last year after my Celebrity Couple birthday party I was left with lots of linens covered in wax from the candles blowing in the wind. This year my party was indoors so we didn’t have that problem, however my friend (who’s husband is a firefighter) tried to light her purse on fire by setting it on a candle, which then spilled wax all over one of the linens. The irony of this situation cracks me up. Since 2 years in a row I’ve ended up with wax covered linens I thought I’d take the chance this year to do a… Read More
A Simple & Affordable Way to Organize Pool Toys
Now that the weather is getting warm and our deck expansion has been completed, we are living outside more and more. Today I want to show you my super simple, and affordable, solution for how to organize pool toys, goggles, sunscreen, etc. I bought this 3-drawer wide cart (mine is no longer a cart because I took the wheels off) a couple years ago when we moved in, and it’s been a great solution to outdoor toy clutter. I made the labels with my Silhouette and it’s a great way for the kids to know where to get things and… Read More
