real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Mother’s Day just passed, and we enjoyed the day celebrating our moms and I felt so loved and appreciated by my own 2 (thanks to lots of help and prompting from my husband). I also read and heard lots of things about how amazing moms are, how to be the best mom, and more! It…
I love just about any excuse to get together for brunch! Birthdays, baby showers, just a fun day with friends, brunch is the perfect meal. We love so many good breakfast foods, and we love being together with family and friends, so when we have a reason to celebrate something, brunch can always be a fun…
Grandmas are such amazing people! Both of my grandmas were so very special to me and I am so thankful for all of the fun, sweet memories I have with each of them growing up! Sleepovers, shopping trips, games, and endless love are a few of the things I remember most! My kids are both blessed…
Mother’s Day is just a couple weeks away. It’s pretty special to me when I think about how we’ve set aside a day to celebrate the women who have raised us! My mom is an amazing woman who raised me and my 4 siblings! When I think of her I think of a woman who is consistent,…
Sometimes there’s nothing better in the early morning than the sound of the coffee pouring into the pot from the coffee maker! I love how the smell fills the house and I get ready to start my day with my favorite treat, a hot cup of coffee! I’ve been starting out my morning a little earlier…
“Love the one your with.” I think of this phrase so often as I think of my cell phone especially and all the ways it can pull me in different directions when the people I love are right in front of me longing for my attention. Many times those people are my little people that I…
We had such a fun Easter celebrating our risen Savior! Easter is one of my favorite holidays for so many reasons! I love teaching our kids why we celebrate Easter and I love the fun things we do around the holiday too! The kids loved their class at church, and we enjoyed some fun activities…
As a mom I am always thinking about food for my kids. When we head out for the day, I always think through snacks for them or even lunch along the way if we are going to be gone all morning. From the time they were born I often had thoughts about whether they were eating…
My son is excited about his birthday coming up next month, and he’s already talking about what kind of party he wants to have! He absolutely loves Lightning McQueen so there’s no question in his mind about what theme he wants for the party. His wish list is simple too! He wants a Chester Whipplefilter…
Be intentional. This has been something on my mind especially since my kids were born, and it’s been something I’ve really set as a focus for 2018. I have found that if it’s not something I am setting out to do, it can easily get pushed aside by the busyness of the days, and weeks,…
Our weather has been up and down for the past few weeks! We’ve been spoiled with a couple sunny 70 degree days at the end of February, and then March came in like a lion with a snow storm. All of me is officially ready for spring now as both my husband and I spent the weekend…
While I’d like to say I always plan ahead and am prepared for everything, life happens and things come up leaving me rushing trying to get things done and get things made on time! This weekend was one of those times as we were finishing up a busy week and heading into a busy weekend. I…
