real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
I love this time of year! We just got back home from a wonderful Thanksgiving week with family, and I am looking forward to all the exciting things that come in December! The Christmas season seems to fill up so quickly with parties, events, shopping, and more. This year, while I know things will be…
Fall is here, and this week it finally started to feel like it! We had quite a few warm days in October, which eased us into the cooler temperatures we are having! I love this time of year. Everything about it. Right now we are enjoying the end of the fall colors on the trees,…
It’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but for some reason I was ready for Christmas music a little early this year! Maybe with so much negative going on all around, we needed a little cheer through music in our house! I think the other thing I love is this year both of my kids are really…
Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up soon! So many people find themselves on the road or in a plane during this busy time of year! We have a lot of family out of town, and one side of the family close by so we alternate holidays and spend some time traveling to see family and…
Traditions are something both my husband I want to keep going with our kids as they get older! We love to bring traditions from our own childhood homes and carry them on or change them to suit our new little growing family. One that we both had growing up was Family Pizza Night. For my…
I have never really had issues with getting stains out of clothes until I had kids! Grass stains, mud, grease, spaghetti sauce, green beans, and berries are just a few of the things I feel like I am constantly trying to get out of their clothes! Stains are something that really drive me crazy on…
Meal planning can always be a little tricky for me. I have been planning my weekly meals out much better, but there still comes a night here and there, where what I planned doesn’t sound good or just doesn’t work out like I thought it would. Freezer meals are something I’ve always loved to have as backups to…
For some reason my laundry is always piling up! Does anyone else out there have this problem? I actually really enjoy doing laundry! I love the satisfaction of getting stains out of clothes, especially my kids’ clothes, I love neatly folded piles of clothes, and I love clean sheets and towels. For some reason, however,…
My parents recently visited, and our time with them, as always, was so sweet! I often wish that we lived closer so that we could be there for everyday things, but being with them for a couple weeks straight makes me thankful for quality time spent together. My kids love waking up to them being…
Pumpkins, sweaters, bonfires, jeans, and boots! Just a few of my favorite things about fall. It actually has started to feel like fall here where we live, and I am loving every second of it! The leaves are just starting to turn colors and mornings and nights are crisp and cool! I love the foods…
Gardening has become one of my favorite things to do. I enjoy spending a little time out each day, especially this time of year where the focus is on harvest! This year we expanded our garden even more, and learned some new things again! This year our weeds were out of control, but somehow almost all of our…
I am not the most organized person out there! I think I’ve made this confession on here before. I married someone who really couldn’t be more organized if he tried, so we have some balance here in our home. While I do not have a desire to have a color coded closet or spend hours…
