real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
I’m the administrative assistant for our church office as well as a stay at home mom. I’m always looking for the most convenient and efficient way to get a job done. In January we started using Meal Train and it has simplified the organization of giving and receiving meals. If organizational stuff gets you geeked, this is…
Remember this post, when I said I’m not cool with being in my 30’s? I distract from wrinkles with accessories, clothes, and new ways to do my hair, but this product has a made me feel better about my aging skin. I love to try skin care products to battle the wrinkles. I’ve been “blessed”…
bedeckled [bih-dek-led]: sparklingly ornamented; to deck out; adorn, especially in a showy or gaudy manner. Have I caught your attention yet? In honor of Mother’s Day, Bedeckle’s owner, Shyla, is giving away matching mother & daughter headbands. I’m in a slight crisis mode about hitting my 30’s, and possibly over compensating by accessorizing. However, when I…
If you have lost someone or felt helpless when someone you care about has lost a loved one, this is a post worth reading. I’ve struggled with how personal to make this post. I lost my brother in a tragic accident June 2, 2009. He would be 24 years old on Wednesday if he were…
Kool Rider is a great bike accessory for kids of all ages. Who wouldn’t like their bike to sound like a motorcycle? This easy to install clip turns your child’s bike into a pretty sweet sounding motorcycle. Our Jack is testing out the smaller clip since he has 14″ wheels. The smaller clips will be available soon….

I wish I had this app when our Annabelle was born. The first year of her life was a bumpy road with lots of doctor’s appointments, specialists, and surgeries. Without going into great detail, she had some GI problems that had us at the doctor’s office or Children’s Hospital dozens of times. I had to…
What is a Kleenslate? It’s an award-winning dry erase paddle that is high quality, durable, fun, and easy to use. Kleenslate Concepts has been an outstanding company to work with to make this review possible. I teach PE at a private school and I put my girls to work for me. They were each given a…
We are big Dora fans at our house. Dora is a show that boys and girls enjoy as well as younger and older children. Jack is 4 and Annabelle is 2 and they both were glued to this DVD. It’s 66 minute running time allows for me to get laundry done, mop the floor, and…
Meet a vitamin’s biggest adversary, Jack! I can’t get much past this kid, including vitamins. alternaVites has a great new product for kids. It’s a powder form of vitamins, much like a pixie stick. I was doing great to even talk Jack into trying it. He liked the idea of it being a pixie stick….
Don’t even get me started on travelling horror stories. I have lived through them all. My Facebook status from December: 3 airline carriers, 1 peanut allergy induced vomit, 2 sets of clothes washed in ladies room, 1 missing suitcase, one 30 minute mad dash through Chicago airport, 1 jetway put back and plane door reopened…
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! I’m one that needs closure at the end of my meal so I know when to stop eating. As in, I need chocolate and/or ice cream and then I know dinner is over. Thank goodness for treats like these! Weight Watchers has 4 new…
