real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
In the past six months my daughter has gone from loving cars and trucks like her brother to absolutely adoring all her baby dolls and carrying them with her wherever she goes! She has quite a few dolls she’s been given over the last 2 years and she loves having tea parties with them, putting…
Valentine’s Day is a couple days away! As a teacher, it was always one of my favorite days in the classrooms. I loved how excited the kids were to give and receive valentines from their friends! I also loved doing activities leading up to the day. Because it seemed to be a favorite for the…
The big game is over, which means so is football for the season. It also means football parties are done until next year too! We just had our annual Super Bowl party and of course we had amazing appetizers, dips, and more! It seems that all the things surrounding the football game can bring as much…
Bedtime is a time of night that can either be a sweet time for kids or a long battle for kids to finally get settled for the night and get a good rest. We all know how important sleep is for the whole family, so making bedtime a time that’s easy is what every parents…
Sunday has always been my day to plan out the week with food, sitting down with my calendar, and making goals for the upcoming week. I used to do minimal prep on Sunday for food, but I’d make sure I had what I needed for the “menu” I had planned out for dinners, and would…

Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2018 from all of us at the SIMPLE moms!

Christmas is just two weeks away! It’s been a good season so far! While we’ve been busy with all things Christmas, we’ve really enjoyed some new traditions in our family and are doing our best to enjoy the little moments with our family and friends!

December is here and that means busy days for most people! I love this time of year! There is always lots going on, but it’s always a fun time getting ready to celebrate Christmas! With so many days and nights filled with different activities, it’s nice to have regular weeknight meals all planned out. We…
