real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
I have been a Limelite fan since I first heard of this company 7 years ago. We liked their energy efficient night lights (3 cents a year to operate) that were snug to the wall with a nice glow. We still use our Limelite night light and it’s only cost us .21 cents in energy…
Summer is here and we are establishing our days on our more relaxed schedule. Now that school is over there is more time for screens, but still within reason. We set timers and have some house rules in place. One of my biggest concerns is the safety of our kids when they are enjoying their…
Sometimes I feel like baking and cooking is a lost art. There’s nothing wrong with grabbing a meal on the go, but don’t forget to purposefully take time to make your family the meals they love. Those dinners when there is time to linger around the table are priceless. Thankfully we are still in the…
Hi, I’m Ginny, and I’m a melanoma skin cancer survivor. 🖤 May is Melanoma 🖤 Awareness Month and I feel deeply humbled to be alive to spread awareness. Did you know that if melanoma is caught early there is a 99% survival rate, but if it spreads distantly it drops to 27%? 💔 That is…
If you ever find yourself in the Bay Area, looking for a beautiful and relaxing day trip, I have just the place for you to visit. During our spring break a few weeks ago, we took a horseback ride down to Thornton State Beach. We meandered through rolling hills and wildflowers. Then we rode along the…
We live in the time of wipes, don’t we? It’s nice to see that disinfecting wipes are easier to find again in stores. Turns out those wipes are helpful in foot form too! Arm and Hammer has these new cleansing foot wipes to freshen up your feet. It’s a fast and easy way to wipe…
We had a house full of company during Spring Break. I love to make our favorite waffle recipe for guests. Now that there isn’t a shortage on yeast, it’s time to share this recipe! I don’t know where my mom got this recipe, but I’ve loved these crispy and tender waffles since I was a…
Our kitchen table has seen better days so I have a tablecloth on it pretty much all the time. I’m also constantly washing our tablecloths. It’s pretty rare that we can make it through a meal without something being left behind. Our Annabelle is 11 years old and she made the Red Lobster biscuits you…
We are not particularly handy. I always say, if I can fix it with paint, I can fix it. My husband has a good foundation for small plumbing and electrical jobs. We combined our strengths and decided to give our bathroom an upgrade this past weekend. If we could tackle this project, I think just…
How is that for a click bait title for this post? I do have a humorous story to tell about a recent bike ride and no pants. However, we need to talk about our new Allen Sports 4 bike hitch rack. It was a Valentine’s Day gift to my husband, but really a family gift….
I am not the most diligent meal planner, but I know that it helps the grocery planning, budget, and flow of our dinner hour. If I have a general idea of what is for dinner each night we usually eat much healthier too. I am NOT the person that plans for the whole month. My…
I searched the internet for heart shaped molasses cookies and I couldn’t find any. I saw lots of gingerbread and cutout cookies, but not exactly what I was looking for. So I set out to make my Grandma’s Molasses cookie recipe into a Valentine heart shape. Celebrating holidays with my family brings me great joy…
