Let's Make Life Awesome
Today’s Feature Wall Friday presents something every busy family needs – a calendar feature wall.
Not only is this feature wall (found at House to Home) fun to look at, but it’s extremely helpful, too. As my kids are getting older, I’ve realized how nice it would be to have our entire month laid out in front of us on a large scale. No more excuses for forgetting events or acting like you were never told (I’m looking at you, Tom).

Back before I was a DIYer, I was a huge fan of a show on HGTV called Holmes on Holmes. The host was Mike Holmes, a straight-shooting, overall-wearing contractor from Canada who helped homeowners fix home renovation mistakes made by shady contractors. I loved seeing the crazy things the bad contractors would do, but it was awesome to see Mike come in and rescue homeowners from really dangerous situations in their homes.
Throughout the last ten or so years, Mike has had several different shows across several different networks, including his current show Make It Right. He always stresses safety and easy maintenance issues to the homeowners he’s working with, and he’s recently taken that message to consumer products. Working with the Filtrete Brand from 3M, Mike has put out a list of his top summer maintenance tips for homeowners. Because I also work with the Filtrete Brand as a Blogger Ambassador (which makes Mike and I basically co-workers, right?), I decided to put out some of my own tips, too.
I mean, shouldn’t I be his co-host on the next show? I could be his funny but eager assistant…and this Texas girl can wear overalls like the best of them, right? I’m expecting a call from his producers shortly. …
