real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Last week my son had surgery on his leg and isn’t able to take baths for several weeks. He is, however, allowed to shower. The only problem is that most of my kids hate showers. (They like to dance in the rain though. I never promised they made sense!) The day he came home from…
When I was in middle school, my grandmother took me to see The Phantom of the Opera. I fell in love with musical theater in a matter of moments, long before the chandelier crashed into the crowd. I’ve been to countless shows since then and it never gets old. The music washes over me and…
Once upon a time I was a letter writer. I bought stamps by the roll and went through them quickly. But add 4 children to life and technology that keeps us more connected than ever before, and my letter writing slowly but surely dropped off to one or two cards a year. As my children…
I know you’ve seen the ad on YouTube; the one with the pretty, proper lady in the loo telling you how to conceal the smell of your poo. If you’re like me, you had 3 thoughts immediately: 1. Is that real? 2. But does it work? 3. And where can I get some? Well, after…
Have you ever thought, “You know what I need? Another app on my phone”. Yeah, me either. But guess what? I was wrong. I took a few days to try a new app called Cluster and you know what? It’s the app I didn’t know that I needed. And it’s one I actually enjoy keeping…
Several months ago I saw several of my fashion-blogger friends posting pictures in super cute clothes and talking about something called StitchFix. I am far from a fashionista but I was intrigued by the idea behind StitchFix, a personal stylist service. You start by going to their website and creating a profile which includes info…
Have you ever wanted to share a handful of images but didn’t want to inundate everyone’s feed with all your pictures? You could make collage or create a slideshow that automatically flips through the images. But what if you want to be able to see each image individually and at your own pace and as…
Have you ever looked around your house and wondered exactly how you’ve managed to collect so much stuff? Or looked at your schedule for the week and wondered if you even remember what free time is or what it feels like to have time and money to enjoy a hobby? Life can sometimes be really…

Over the past 10 years, we’ve owned at least 8 different car seats. If you count booster seats, that number is probably closer to 12. We’ve had some seats that I loved and a few that I hated. Some that we cushy and comfy but too wide to fit comfortably in the car with 3…
Yesterday was our first day of summer vacation and the weather was per.fect – a slight chill in the morning, a gentle breeze all day long, enough sunshine to warm things up…but not too hot! Days like this don’t come along often down here in Georgia, so when they do we try to stay outside…
A few years ago I was one of several staff photographers at a multi-day event. It wasn’t like I was always on for the entire time, but if I wasn’t hiding in my hotel room I had my camera in hand (and usually my camera bag as well). Even in the break room, I wasn’t…
