OWN and Paige Davis give us a little lesson on letting kids grown into their OWN space and taking back a little of yours with Home Made Simple and this week’s “Single Mom Learning to Let Go” episode. Letting kid’s grow up and into their own little people is hard enough…so, giving them their own space has a lot to do with trusting yourself… Stacey’s a single mom and wants to carve out a little space for her two boys, Richard and Zach, to call their own mini-man cave. Having their own little hang out gives them a great place to hang with friends as well as giving mom her OWN space in the house. Think about it…do you have somewhere in your house to dedicate to your teens and pre-teens? When I was young, it was safe to go out and play ’til dinner. Now, wouldn’t it be nice to know where they are? Just a thought…because everyone needs a little space sometimes to call their OWN.
Over at the HMS Project Site they keep us busy by giving us so much information to choose from. With a little dash of projects and easy recipes, they really are trying to make our lives just a little more beautiful and simple…one project and one bite at a time. Here are some of the highlights you’ll find there…
- Great recipes of some spicy Jalapeno Cheddar Corn Muffins or Three Bean Chili (veggie style for me if you leave out the pork!)
- Great garden ideas for even the smallest of spaces. Get some ideas on making it a family garden with some memores…plus some ideas on how to use the space you have…limited or not!
- Organizing tips and unique storage ideas!
- Decor ideas for customized curtains and creating a reclaimed lumber wall! (Get inspired! I’m wonder what ELSE can I use reclaimed lumber for! I’m inspired!)
- Get crafty with some sleep sacks…
- and so much more!!!

Home Made Simple brings OWN a little bit of makeover magic each Sunday morning with a familiar face, Paige Davis. With just a couple of days and lots of ideas and tips, HMS (my new accronym for “Home Made Simple”) brings some fun and totally do’able ideas to maybe take on in your own life. Be inspired…to add a little color, to update a room, to think out of the box and to give your home a little love and attention. Love the idea of simple since most of MY projects seem way too overwhelming.
PLUS…get ready for this…it’s not just decorating. Add snacks and cooking with kids (from this episode)…and it makes for an easy hour of tips and tricks to add into your world. Yes…it’s hard NOT to see Paige Davis and think “Trading Spaces” and without the dueling neighbors and the extra day or so…it kinda is like that…
It looks from the Procter & Gamble website and the previous episodes that this isn’t a new, original OWN program…but it makes sense if it’s here to inspire and make our lives a little better…or better, projects more simple. So, HMS and Paige Davis, WELCOME to OWN!
So, take a look at the project site for the project notes and more…some of the things you will find there include:
- Unique Lunches for Kids: Cosmic Cuisine
- Painting Tips
- DIY Milk Crate Stage
- A Cool Wall Mural
- How to make a Ping Pong ball light fixture
