real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
You know you are getting older when your friends start turning 40….or even 50 years old. I’m 36 and I remember when my mom was my age and thought she was OLD! I have a new perspective on age as the clock keeps ticking. My friends who have had monumental birthdays have handled them so…
We saw the Disney on Ice show last night and it was an experience of a lifetime for a few reasons. 🙂 Dream Big is officially my favorite of the Disney on Ice shows that I have seen. I’m so glad it was such a wonderful show because we went way out of our comfort…
If you have any boys or men in your home, their ears will perk if you mention a drone. This review has brought much excitement to our household. It hasn’t disappointed either. The Nikko Air Race Vision 220 drone gets our full stamp of approval. You might feel at a loss when it comes to…
If your children watch YouTube kids, they already know what a Mash’em toy is. I was greeted with lots of enthusiasm from my 4 year old, Charlie when he saw our Mash’Ems. These are squishy toys that come in a container so there is an element of surprise when they are opened. There are many…
I try to use Pinterest wisely. It’s so easy to lose hours of your life pinning things you just plain are never going to try, buy, or do. I clearly have some guilt about being a good steward of my time. This Fall, I have a few ideas I want to tackle. I like to…
Just when I think I’ve seen all the Disney on Ice shows for the year, another one comes to town. You may recall our wonderful time in March when we saw World’s of Enchantment. Lots of happy family memories are made at these events. For our Bay Area readers, Disney on Ice is presenting DREAM…
I recently had a conversation with a friend and we both came to the conclusion that we felt like we failed as moms this summer. For the first time, we were looking forward to our kids going back to school and we felt terribly guilty. What went so wrong? There were amazing and wonderful memories…
What are NANO METALFIGS? Oh, just a toy that my 4 year old couldn’t wait to play with. I’ve never seen him forget about the iPad so quickly. That says a lot about this toy! These metal figurines (metal figs) come in single packs or packs of 5 or 10 with a bonus figure. The…
This week we celebrated my daughter’s 8th birthday. She’s a fun combination of girly, adventurous, quirky, sporty, and feminine. I grew up with 4 brothers so I have enjoyed having a daughter to share girly life moments with. She has discovered body mist recently and is borderline obsessed with giving herself a squirt every time…
We saw Despicable Me 3 this summer and it was a memorable way to spend a rainy afternoon. This post isn’t a movie review, but I’ll add that we enjoyed it. I read recently that it was one of the quietest box office hits that brought in over $900 million. Apparently others enjoyed it too….
The days of summer are dwindling and it won’t be long before we send our stinky kids off to school. I am quite thankful for the teachers that invest their lives and time into my mini me’s. It takes a special person to close themselves into a room with 20 children each day. I know…
The sun is setting earlier every evening, but it is still summertime. Sure we’ve been posting a lot about back to school, but we have 15 more days before school starts for my kiddos. That means we need to make the most of our trips to the pool, lake, water park, splash pad, etc. We…
