real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
I really can’t get enough of these summer days! We are enjoying everything about them, even the heat! We enjoyed watching thunderstorms out the window yesterday, and then had a blast playing in the puddles when the sun came back out. There’s something about seeing these litte things through the eyes of a child that brings…
We are enjoying summer days here in Michigan! It’s been 90 degrees, and we spent our weekend enjoying some of our favorite summer things- grilling, bonfires, campground, and water activities to stay cool. With these fun summer days brings time together with family and friends, and with that brings yummy food! I love fresh fruit…
I’ve been planting a garden for the last 4 years! I really miss living in our condo in the city in so many ways, but our large garden is one of the things I love about living out in the country with lots of land all around. Each year has been a learning process for me,…
Thank you to all the men and women who have sacrificed their lives for our country. We are truly blessed to live in this nation. I pray we as a nation never take for granted the sacrifices these brave men and women and their families have given so that we can live in a nation…
Last week was a long week! I’m so thankful that my kids have been healthy overall in their first few years. We’ve had the occasional cold and fever, but nothing major. This week was the first time we’ve had a fever that continued to go high to the point I was worried for health and…
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right? I don’t know all the reasons why that is true, but breakfast is definitely my favorite meal! Most weekdays we eat pretty simple breakfasts like oatmeal, cereal, or scrambled eggs, but I love weekends when we all eat together, and we make breakfast a big…
I think many momma’s out there agree that we could use a little more sleep every night! Restless nights with little sleep start during pregnancy and I’m not quite sure when they end! I actually have to say I’ve been blessed with good little sleepers overall, but somehow still sleep is not the same as…
Mother’s Day is coming up soon, and I love the chance to show my mom how much she means to me! Living so far from my side of the family always feels a little more difficult on special days, but I am so thankful for the many ways we have to stay in contact and…
Having two little ones has opened my eyes to so many little things that I never really used to think about at all. My husband and I have always tried to eat good foods, and take care of ourselves through exercise and good habits, but it wasn’t until we had kids that I realized how…
Our little guy received a tablet for his birthday this year! He was so excited that he could play some of his games on his own device. He keeps telling me that he has his own “phone” now so he doesn’t need to use mine when he wants to play a game. He’s growing up…
We love music at our house. I love listening to music while we are driving, I play some of my favorite music while I clean, and you’ll find us having some kind of dance party just about any day in our house! Our kids love to hear their favorite songs along with something new. I…

Boston is all of our favorite city so we figured what better place to gather for a girls’ weekend from all over the country than the city we visited so often with my parents throughout our childhood. It…
