real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Another holiday is right around the corner, and Easter is one of the holidays that I want our traditions to include the real meaning of Easter along with the fun things too! Last year we started with an Easter egg hunt for fun and a Resurrection garden to explain the reason for Easter. We will…
I’ve always been amazed at small business owners! I admire the ambition it takes to start up one’s own business and I love to find some of these amazing shops and support them with my business. Handcrafted items are especially interesting to me and I love the variety of shops you can find on Etsy…
I love having leftovers! I usually make a little extra food every night for dinner. My husband often takes some of it the next day for lunch, sometimes the kids and I eat some throughout the week, and usually one meal on the weekend is a leftover, clean up meal. We all love this meal because we…
Motherhood is really one of life’s greatest gifts. I longed for the day for motherhood to be a part of my life for so long, and now that I’m a mom I realize what a special part of life being a mother really is. While our kids are little and I know the challenges and joys…
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a clean baby right out of the bath! We love bath time over here at our house, and both my littles have loved them from the beginning. Ok, well maybe not their very first bath, but soon after it became a regular routine it was something that they…
Our little girl turned one a couple months ago, and over the past few weeks I’ve been seeing a ton of pictures pop up on my newsfeed from those early months of her life! It is so amazing how fast little ones grow and how much change can come in just one short year. I…

Is there anything better than peanut butter for a snack? You can often find each member of our family with a peanut butter spoon for a snack at some point in the week! Sometimes we try variations of this with mini chocolate chips on it, and you can almost always find a glass of milk…
My little guy has been wanting to help with everything lately! I am loving that he is interested in so many different things and wants to learn something new! He is constantly looking for ways to help me clean or put things away, and is always right by daddy’s side when he’s working on projects…
I remember purchasing my first diaper bag when I was pregnant with my first, and thinking I was looking for something cute that had spaces for all the things I thought I would be carrying! It’s amazing how your idea of what you might need changes as you experience things in life. That house you…
Our family loves football! My two year old loves to play football with daddy, and when daddy’s not home he tells me and his little sister that we are the quarterback and receiver. We enjoy watching games together on weekends in the fall when college football is in full swing. We often support our friends’…
It’s the end of January and I’m excited about some changes I’ve made to make this year better than last! I always find it helpful to reflect on things, and as I looked back at 2016 I realized I could have done more with the time I’ve been given, and I could definitely make some…
