Lovin’ These Links – Monday’s Facebook Recap

MeckMom — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 21:13:29 +0000

Hey everyone, it’s Monday again – time for a recap of a few of my favorite sites this week. All of these sites were featured on my Facebook fan page last week so, if you haven’t had a chance yet, you should definitely check them out. If you liked them as much as I did you should let them know! Bloggers love comments so share the love when you stop by their sites.

Remember, if you’d like instant access to the links I love and a few other tips and tricks, you can sign up to be a follower on Facebook by clicking the Facebook icon at the top of the page or by following this link. Here are the links from last week…

JaimeHamblinDesigns.blogspot.com
I found this freebie valentine printable last night and absolutely loved it. I think my girls will be giving out these cute little love owls this year. Hop on over to Jaime’s site to enjoy.

Mabel’s Labels (mable.ca)
My kids have lost three coats and countless gloves/hats to the black hole that is elementary school this year. These charming iron-on labels from Mabel’s Labels sure would have come in handy.

PlumPearApple.com
My house has seen many Superheroes over the years. Most of them had blankets or pillowcases slung around their shoulders. Now that I’ve seen this creative, cape-creating site, I may just have to upgrade our hero attire.

LazyOrganizer.com
If you’re a Mom of tiny kids and you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed lately you should check out this great post from the Lazy Organizer. I loved it!

Lovin’ These Links – Monday’s Facebook Recap

MeckMom — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 19:22:06 +0000

For those of you who follow me on Facebook, you know that lately I’ve been sharing juicy ideas I have found out in the blogosphere on my fan page. Recently, I had a friend mention that she’s terrible at checking her Facebook and would like to have a list of the links I post on my blog as well. So this one’s for you, Rachel (and all the rest of my email/RSS subscribers).

Each Monday I’ll update my blog with the fun links I’ve found around the web. Hopefully that will help keep all of you in the loop (and give me something to look forward to other than my standard mountain of Monday laundry).

By the way, you should really take some time time to check out these sites and dig through their archives. They are loaded with clever solutions and their ideas/recipes/crafts/tips are fantastic.

SilverboxCreative.typepad.com
Check out this adorable birthday party invitation I happened upon over at Silverbox. My girls love making these fortune teller things – if only I were clever enough to figure out how to create one this cool.

IdeaPaint.com
I hate chalkboards with a passion – way too much dust and crumbly mess – so when I saw this idea for dry-erase paint I was totally impressed. I can think of tons of uses for this stuff in my house. Check it out…

ThePioneerWoman.com
There’s nothing like being diagnosed with gestational diabetes to make you crave carbs…don’t these Rosemary Rolls look divine? Since I can’t have them, you definitely should! Find the recipe here…

TwigandThistle.com
Don’t you just love free printables? Check out this great site I stumbled upon. It’s loaded with crafty tutorials and fun freebies.

VintageSongbird.blogspot.com
I’m a sucker for a great DIY makeover, especially when it comes to making cool stuff for kids – check out this clever ‘old nightstand to play kitchen’ transformation.

Reader’s Choice – Top 20 MeckMom Ideas

MeckMom — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 23:19:33 +0000

Happy 2010, everyone! Thanks for putting up with my month-long hiatus as I enjoyed some quality holiday time with my family. I have loads of tips to share with you this year and I’m anxious to get started.

I thought I’d kick things off this year by featuring some of the best ideas from the past several years. Back in November, I asked you guys to submit your favorite MeckMom ideas so I could create a quick reference guide for new readers. Thankfully, you guys were very generous in your replies. I’ve compiled your comments and emails and created a quick list of your 20 top favorites. They’re not in any particular order (mostly because I’m too lazy to figure out which ones got the most votes) but they’ll be a great reference for any new MeckMom readers. So, if you’ve got a friend or family member that could use a quick shot of organizing tips this new year, I hope you’ll pass this post on.

Speaking of which, I’m not sure if you noticed, but I now have a Facebook fan page devoted entirely to all things MeckMom. On it I post links to all my new posts, random quick tips, link to posts from my archives, as well as links to other websites I find fun and helpful. I also have a Twitter page that feeds from my Facebook posts. If you’re interested in joining me on Facebook or Twitter, I’d love to have you. Just click here to become a fan – MeckMom’s Facebook Page or MeckMom’s Twitter Page.

Thanks for all your fabulous feedback over the years, guys. I look forward to another great year of finding simple solutions to make everyday life a little easier…and passing them on to you!
