real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
We have had another wonderful year. My heart is full as I look at each one of our kids that God has entrusted us with. I am thankful for my life to put it plain and simple. Jesus is the reason for the season in our home and we are thankful for the many blessings…
I have come to accept that I am a mom and I’m going to look like a mom. I’m not quite as cool as “Bevvy Goldberg”, but I try to keep up with the latest trends. By the way, she is my all-time favorite TV mom. When my husband says, “whatever you say, Beverly.”,…
I had good intentions of getting this post out before class parties commenced, but I’m a real mom like the rest of you. I’m up to my eyeballs in last minute Christmas preparations. I’m also trying my very best to enjoy the Christmas season with my family. Was I the mom with the most amazing pinterest…
Each of my three children mastered feeding themselves at different speeds. I’ve learned to introduce tableware as early as they can start picking up their puffs. If they don’t know anything different, they get used to eating like the grown up’s. Pacific Baby World has a great selection of bamboo tableware. As you can see, Charlie…
I literally know nothing about how to play Minecraft, but I do know this about the game: It has peaceful music that is pleasant in the background of our somewhat crazy home. The kids can play the game for HOURS if allowed…or if I need to get something done. Minecraft = Nanny They can play…
We had a lovely Thanksgiving in California. I hope you and your loved ones enjoyed the holiday as well. It’s really an important holiday. We have the tendency to gloss over it with Christmas on it’s heels. I’m thankful first and foremost for all the blessings from above that came our way this past year. Not just…
Consider giving the most practical gift of the year. For as low as $9.99 you have a really sweet stocking stuffer. This is NOT a membership site and you can actually earn razors if you share Shavemob with your friends. Not required, just a bonus. I will never buy any other razor for myself. I’ve…
I’m super thrilled that minted.com picked us to feature their cards again this year. I found “the one” very quickly. I’m not usually so decisive, but I fell in love. Sounds corny, but it was love at first sight. Yes, I feel that passionately about my Christmas cards. I really enjoy picking, preparing, and sending them. Getting the perfect…
To get in the mood to write this post, I let myself burn the Magical Frosted Forest Christmas candle I was sent to review. I wish it magically cleaned my home while it made it smell so crisp and fresh, but it’s not quite perfected to do that just yet. I associate Christmas with my favorite…
Why did the turkey cross the road twice? (To prove he wasn’t chicken!) I need to take a quick moment to interrupt our #aSIMPLEchristmas event to share our turkey shirts from www.spreadshirt.com. Thanksgiving is an important holiday in our family. My mother-in-law makes it a really special day. We even have a yearly competition where…
We like to tease our kids that all they are getting for Christmas is socks and underwear. They usually do get socks and underwear in their stocking. Santa helps me out by getting a few gifts in the kids stockings that they need. This isn’t the first time (or the last) that you will be…
Can you have too many sippy cups? Oh the places I have found cups in the past 7 years I’ve been a mom {shiver}. The ones that have been under the seat of the car for an unknown amount of time, you have to discard. Oh how I hate to have to toss a favorite cup, but…
