real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Happy 2nd day of summer! We’ve got some hot temps hitting the Bay Area this week and we are ready to spend some lazy days at the pool. Edge Brand is adding to our pool fun with the 3D muscle flotation vest. My kids like to pretend they are American ninja warriors when they are scaling…
This is our first full week out of school and we are ready to dive into all things summer! We love to swim as much as possible during our break. I loved Gina’s post last summer about keeping a bag of summer fun right by the door. Towels, suits, floatation devices, and GOGGLES are always ready…
I’m a long time believer in Fresh Wave products. (HERE are a few past posts from the past.) You’ll be seeing a lot more of Freshwave on our blog and social media pages in the future. We’ve teamed up and they will let me know when there are new and exciting promotions, products, etc. to share with…
Does your husband or father compete in the corporate arena? The Document Dunk is a cute idea for a Father’s Day gift. It’s small enough that it isn’t in the way, but a fun touch for a boring ol’ office. If any young visitors come to see dad at work, it’s pretty cool the littles…
We would like to take a moment to remember the men and women who have sacrificed their lives for our great nation. We want to thank their families for sacrificing as well. Freedom is not something we should ever take for granted. We are the home of the free, because of the brave! May God…
Crazy Foam is back and better than ever! I remember playing with crazy foam in the tub when I was a little girl. I don’t date back to 1965, but Crazy Foam does! It’s been reformulated so it’s now a 3 in 1 shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. It comes in collectible cans. We had ourselves…
What’s the one thing you can get into shape without exercise? EYEBROWS! I’m talking about eyebrows and facial hair today. Kinda awkward, but at least you aren’t the one photographing your facial hair! The things I do for our faithful readers. 🙂 I try to keep up on my brows because I don’t want to spend…
Have you ever tried to put earbud headphones in a toddler’s ears? It basically doesn’t work. They fall every 2.4 seconds. Most headphones are designed to fit an adult head. Even the headset style headphones can fit awkwardly and slip down. CozyPhones created very comfortable kids headphones. They are a fleece headband with ultra-thin speakers. These…
I can’t claim any Hispanic heritage, but there is a heavy Hispanic population where I live. My neighbors actually had a LIVE Mariachi band in their backyard one night! It was a bit random for a girl who grew up in the Midwest, but we loved it! HERE is a video. We shamelessly enjoyed the party…
I threw the easiest baby shower last week. It was such an enjoyable experience from the planning side of things. While I’m all about pinning and throwing the most amazing shower (you know, the ones where Pinterest threw up everywhere –hehehe), I had a really busy month. Minted.com came to my rescue. They have a whole section of Party…
My kids do a lot of crazy things in their bed at night. My favorite is when I find them with one arm out of their pajamas. How does that even happen? My least favorite is when they would take off their diaper. Thankfully that didn’t happen often, but once was enough! Escapeejays are escape…
We aren’t book worms per say, but we do read to our kids before bed and they enjoy reading books when we stumble on good ones. My 8 year old son helped me out with this post. He read 2 books in the American Revolutionary War Adventures series by Robert J. Skead and Robert A. Skead. They are a father…
