real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Sending the kids back to school brings all kinds of emotions for me. My oldest turned 9 last week and someone pointed out to me that he’s halfway to 18. I’m basically halfway done with raising him. We’ve spent half of our summers together already! GASP, that went far too quickly. As sad as I…
There have been 2 tragic accidents (link contains disturbing and sad news) in about a week in California. Children have drowned in their cars after going into a river. My heart aches for those poor mothers that tried so desperately to save their children. I have a deeper appreciation for the rescue workers who aid…
It doesn’t matter what age you are, water balloons provide a good time! We like to use our KAOS aqua bow to shoot water balloons into our big tree and then the exploding balloon showers down on unsuspecting siblings playing under the tree. {evil snicker} The Aqua Bow is for ages 8+. In order to…
If you haven’t already started the school year, are you ready? Sending the kids back to school brings me mixed emotions. I appreciate having a schedule again, but I miss our lazy summer days. My back to school gears have already started to turn and I’m getting together supplies and shopping for lunch items. We…
It’s hard to believe that summer is slipping away from us. It isn’t gone yet, so we have something to talk about….wet, stinky towels and swimsuits. Have you left wet swim gear in a bag after a day of swimming? It’s not a fun find when it’s had a chance to get smelly! Fresh Wave…
My family and I just got home from a 3 week vacation to Michigan. We fly a few times a year and I have picked up a few tricks along the way. The kids (8, 6, and 3) look forward to opening a new toy on the plane. It can’t be just any toy, it has…
At the beginning of the summer, I was raving about my daughter’s Giggly Goggles by DaphDaph. HERE is my first post. My daughter LOVES them because they don’t pull her hair, they have a pony tail slot in the back, they are comfortable on her face, they don’t leak, they are tinted like sunglasses, they…
Here we are –mid-summer -and all the grand lists and activities we had planned are piddling out. If you need something new and fresh to do with the kids, I highly suggest you dive into the Unofficial Minecraft Lab for Kids book. My 8 year old son and 6 year old daughter absolutely love to…
While you can’t put a price tag on the safety of your children’s health, it’s nice to know you can find budget friendly sunscreen to protect your baby’s skin. For anyone that is reading our blog for the first time, I talk a lot about skin cancer. I’ve had melanoma and basal cell skin cancer…
Whiffer Sniffers are scented collectible plush backpack clips. All 3 of my kids LOVED this review. They actually went LIVE on Facebook to open their mystery Whiffer Sniffers. These plush, scented dolls have clever names, quite the scents (wow, bacon is strong), and kids love to collect them. I wish I could share smell with you over the…
I hope you are having a beautiful and safe holiday weekend as we celebrate the birthday of our great nation! Are you a tiny bit curious why you would have “the talk” with your kids this weekend? Kristen Bell is here to help us on this topic. Ok, that was one of the funniest videos…
Let’s just be real. I’m keeping kids alive each day, not plants. There just isn’t time for both. 🙂 However, I love a pretty yard. I have a YARD HACK I will call it. My yard looks like I care thanks to Commercial Silk. I have reviewed their products before and over a year later my…
