Answers to your cleaning, organizing questions & more!
This post brought to you by Listerine. All opinions are 100% mine. You all know I like my home to be clean and organized but a little known fact about me is that I also like my mouth to be clean. Ever since I was a little girl my parents emphasized how important it was to have clean, healthy teeth. And every time I go to the dentist I soak up the praises my hygienist gives me on how nice my teeth are. Last time I was at the dentist she even called someone over to come look at my… Read More
Hi! This is Lauren from Mom Home Guide. I am so happy to be posting here at Ask Anna! This summer I have been spending quality time with my husband and tween daughters seeing the sights in our local Princeton, NJ, area. We just got new smartphones and Instagram accounts, so we have been taking Instagram pics to document our travels! I thought it would be fun to to create a DIY display board for sharing our photos! Instagram display board materials: – (1) 12-inch x 12-inch wood board – Stencils – (1) Stencil sponge – Small amount of interior latex… Read More
As you know we are in the process of updating our kitchen and one of the things that needed to be changed was the can light above the kitchen sink. I love can lights but I feel like you need a statement light over the kitchen sink, especially when there’s a window there, like mine. I really wanted a farmhouse style light over my kitchen sink so I bought this one at Home Depot but I needed to get rid of the can light first. So today I’m giving you a very easy tutorial for how to turn a can… Read More
Hi everyone! I’m Krista and I blog over at While He Was Napping. I’m super excited to be contributing to Ask Anna for the next year! This month, we’re pretty focused on Back to School around my house. Actually, more accurately Starting School. My oldest, Big J, just turned five last week and starts Kindergarten the middle of this month. My little guy is pretty excited to start school, but his momma is a little apprehensive (and maybe a tiny bit emotional, too). Life with three little boys and a busy husband can be pretty chaotic, so to try and… Read More
When I was decorating Malea’s room I knew I wanted to add a reading area because the girl loves to read! I was searching around on Pinterest and found this pin for a floating bookshelf tutorial. I didn’t have a whole wall for shelves, like they did, but I thought the corner next to her bed would be perfect. Want to know what the best part about this whole project was? It was FREE!!! Yep, that’s right! Remember earlier in the summer when we took down the cabinet in our kitchen to put in the open shelves? Well we hadn’t… Read More
I don’t know about your kids but my daughter LOVES to take baths. If we let her she would probably stay in there all night. Awhile back I found some multicolored tub crayons that I thought she’d love, and I was right! She loved being able to express her artistic ability all over the shower/tub. When I walked in and saw this I just started laughing. I was glad that she’d loved the crayons but I’d never expected she’d cover the entire surface with them! 🙂 It’s moments like these that make me glad I have this blog and I… Read More
