real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
A first birthday is a big celebration for a little one. So much happens in that first year that gives cause to celebrate the unique milestones in a baby’s life. I loved planning my little one’s birthday (more to come about that in a later post) and I was looking for a sign to showcase…
Much of my family live far from us, so we do quite a bit of traveling to visit them! I used to think I packed a lot before we had our first child, but now I have more than doubled what we used to bring! He’s still young enough to be in a crib, so…
Earth Day is just two weeks away, and it’s such a good time to teach young ones about little ways they can make a difference in the world around them. I loved the opportunity when I used to teach first graders to get them excited about little things they could do to make a difference to someone….
All babies should be celebrated! It sometimes is tradition to have a baby shower for the first in the family, but I love the idea of having a celebration in anticipation of every child being born. Every baby is unique and special in their own way and moms need that special love from friends and family either before…
People and circumstances really can help shape who we are! There are some people who you can spend time with and you just know by being with them you are becoming a better person. These people may be your significant other, your kids, your parents, or maybe even an acquaintance who you find you learn…
I’ve reviewed products from OXYLED before! The lighting solutions I have received from them have been a big help in our new-to-us, yet old farmhouse. A major project that needs be done in our home is the electrical, but right now it’s not the top priority for time or money. There are many places in…
There are so many different cleaning products out there, but one thing many of them have in common is that there is a lot of water or filler in the bottle of soap or cleaner that you buy. I was introduced to Cleanpath products, and I liked the concept they offered so I thought I…
Everyone has a story to tell! I love when parts of that story can be told and symbolized with a piece of jewelry. Mine is a story of blessing! My husband and I hoped and prayed for a baby for years. After almost 5 years, many appointments, days and nights of tears, loss, and countless…
There is nothing more relaxing to me at the end of the day than a hot bath! When I was pregnant, it was what I missed the most. I still took baths, but the temperature of the water was just not the same. I also spent most of the time I was in labor in…
I love pieces of jewelry with meaning behind it. I was searching for the perfect phrase to put on my Double or Nothin’ necklace from All the Wire, and immediately thought of the special people in my life. It began with thinking about my husband, my son, my parents, siblings ,and then went on from…
While drool has been a common thing around here for the quite a few months, with these new top teeth pushing their way through, the drool has been unreal! I don’t like for his shirt to be soaked with drool because that can’t be comfortable, but when he’s crawling around normal bibs get in the…
Easter baskets are such a fun tradition for little ones every year. Our little guy will celebrate his first birthday soon, but because of the way Easter fell the past two years, this will be his second Easter! I remember being so excited last year (before he was a week old) to have an Easter…
