I am so excited to share my Free Peeps Planner stickers with you today. I have always loved stationery and school supplies (especially post-it’s and old-school notebooks). Even though I am no longer teaching nor do I have kids in school yet, I love back to school shopping. After I left teaching, I started using …
Welcome to Mom Envy! Welcome back to my Hand Me Down Mom Genes readers and hello new readers. I know it’s been a while (okay a long while), since I last posted on HMDMG. Turns out having two kids is a lot more time-consuming than one. A lot has happened since I last blogged. One …
Anthropologie inspired pieces are some of my favorite DIYs I see posted on decor blogs. It’s hard not to be inspired when walking around a place with such beautiful products. So thanks to my inspirational Anthropologie trip, I have created a look-a-like Botanical Banner for you today! Have you ever seen this adorable banner? Once …
Anyone that has spent the day with a toddler knows they’re generally super picky eaters (my kids are no exception). During the baby stages, I was able to puree everything and put it in a pouch (I could kiss whoever created reusable pouches). We introduced our boys to all sorts of foods early and they …

One of our favorite items when going out to eat at Mexican Restaurants (and Cheesecake Factory) are sweet corn cakes. My family absolutely loves this decadent side dish. I have been trying for a few years to find a recipe to recreate it at home and I finally found one that works (with adjustments). I …
We are really blessed in our house to have the space for a playroom. It’s a first floor master bedroom with a bathroom and small walk-in closet. Since we wanted to be on the same floor as Carl, we opted to stay upstairs. The only problem with our playroom is that it is completely bare …
For those of you that missed my post the other day, I have shared with you a Pottery Barn Knock-off for their typewriter key prints. The other day I shared with you the full alphabet. Today, I am sharing with you numbers 0-9, and 4 symbols (question mark, ampersand, at, and the dollar symbol). As I …
If I was given one store to buy everything for my house, it would all be from Pottery Barn. Unfortunately, we would be totally broke and have nowhere to put all of our pretty new furnishings. While their items are beautiful, oftentimes they are too expensive for our budget. Since our dining room table would …
