real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Music is something that is really important in my life. I want my kiddo to have an appreciation and connection to music as well. Luckily, I’ve been exposed to some really awesome Kindie groups as a product reviewer, so I’ve got an arsenal of family-friendly music to share with her. Miss Nina has a very…
Summer time means lots of outdoor activities – fairs, festivals, zoo trips, theme parks. But it also means parents have to be on high alert to be sure that their kids don’t wander off and get lost. Let’s be honest, as parents we can’t have our hands and eyes on our kids every second of…
My 2.5 year old is a free-spirited barefoot bohemian child who plays in the mud and loves her curly hair to be wild and free. Romantic vision of childhood, huh? 🙂 But in reality, her free-spiritedness makes it difficult to tame her hair, so she normally has a head full of tangles by the end…
Hello gals! I was all set to review this item with my toddler, but when my friend Anne told me that her kiddo was having sleeping problems because she wasn’t eating solids due to teething, I suggested that she try an apple sauce pouch, and handed her a pouch topped with a PouchPop… here’s how it…
So you all know by now that I really love educational toys. I am hesitant to bring toys into our home that aren’t educational or promote creativity, innovation and thoughtfulness in some way. I mean, think about it. If you had to learn something, wouldn’t you want it to be fun? And wouldn’t it be…
I just wanted to thank all of the companies who participated in our 2nd Annual Earth Day event here at The Simple Moms! I also want to thank all of our AWESOME READERS who make what we do possible! You guys rock! We are so blessed to have such a great community of readers who…
Is everyone LOVING this Earth Day event? I hope so! I really hope that something during this event will inspire each of you to start making small, greener choices in your homes! Here’s another idea that will work for EVERYONE (not just cloth-diaper-using-hippies like me). Switching from chemical dryer sheets to 100% natural wool dryer…
My poor kid has her daddy’s sensitive skin. We have battled diaper rash since she was born, and have bounced from one product to another, and none of them have worked consistently. This poor kid even gets grass rashes on her legs from all of her outdoor play, but luckily those rashes aren’t bad and…
You all know that I LOVE music and think that music is an integral part of teaching our children. Music has a way of getting into your soul and sticking in your head. It’s a perfect way to teach positive values and ideals to children. One thing that I am successfully instilling in my…
KIDS ‘N’ PETS brand cleaning products are cruelty free, non-toxic, environmentally friendly and biodegradable. Which means they are a perfect addition to our Earth Day event. I decided to try the laundry spray on a variety of food stains: 1. strawberry juice, blackberry jam, chocolate, mustard, ketchup and pizza sauce. 2. After making my pretty drawings…
In March, I introduced you all to ToddleGreen flushable potty chair liners and was all gung ho about starting potty training. Well, my kid wasn’t. At. All. She is actually the complete opposite of gung ho (gung no??). For example, while she was watching Bambi, sans diaper: Mama: “Lily, do you have to go pee…
During this Earth Day event, I really want to stress how easy it is to make green choices to make a positive impact on our environment, and how much fun it is to instill in our children a sense of wonder and respect for our planet. So I wanted to share a few Earth Day activity…
