real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
With daylight savings time beginning I am loving having more daylight as the evening progresses! However, it sure can be difficult to get my group of littles to settle into bed on a school night. Once the weather warms up, neighborhood walks will be wonderful! Until then, we usually make some popcorn and try to get some extra snuggle time in before bed! These…
One of my favorite parts of the infant stage was the joy I received from making homemade baby food! It sounds a little odd to say, but it sure was FUN! My Husband even joined in on the fun! I would often find him concocting some sort of recipe, pureeing, and stashing the jars into the freezer…
When I first entered into motherhood, I was so excited to pack and carry a diaper bag. To be honest, I believe I had a diaper bag for our puppy before we even had kids! I wanted a traditional diaper bag with all the pockets that screamed “I have a baby!” Now, entering my 8th…
Let’s face it, when it comes to style, comfort is important. There was a day when I would strut to my 8:30 am class in college in 4 inch stilettos without a wince; but anymore if my shoes are not flat, I’m not very interested! It seems whenever I wear my “dress” shoes, I often have…
St. Patrick’s Day may be my favorite holiday of the year! My mother is every bit Irish and has always kept us close to our heritage. Typically we spend St. Patrick’s Day as most spend Thanksgiving; a large feast of traditional Irish food, family, love, and as a BIG bonus my Mom’s birthday! She has…
Let’s face it relaxing with a glass of your favorite wine at the end of a hard day can be a beautiful thing! As I have grown into motherhood one piece of my prior self remains the same… I am a girly girl! When I was sent Tipsy Tags I knew I entered “Maureen” territory!…
Kids learn in different ways at different times! Something that I am quickly learning as my children are growing! My oldest son is extremely conscientious and takes school very seriously! While, my second son is much more creative and playful. I used to worry about him as his academic growth was so different from his…
Did you know kids who drink 2 drink boxes a day add more than 30 pounds of sugar to their diet every year? And a disposable juice box can sit in a landfill for more than 300 years! WHOA! After reading that statement from the manufacturer I was stopped in my tracks! I grew up…
Sometimes you just need a warm mug filled with hot chocolate to hold on tight to! Being an Ohioan, there are times our seasons seem to change within 24 hours! With a snow storm currently approaching, my weekend plans are starting to appear less appealing! My little trio, Hubby, PJs, and FAVORITE hot chocolate recipe sounds…
In our home, PBS KIDS is typically our go to channel for children’s programing. The variety of programming seems to hit each of the age groups in our household and each program always carries some sort of an educational theme. SUPER WHY! Has always been a favorite of ours! SUPER WHY! Helps kids learn the fundamentals…
Many of us have been there, day after day, waiting and waiting (AND waiting and waiting) in the school pick up line. I am nearly a year and a half in on this, not that I’m counting or anything, and it is quite possibly my least favorite time of day! Toting around my younger two…
Ever wonder what to do with those birthday gifts that require A LOT of time to create? Ever see a cute craft project in the dollar section of the store but know you will never have a block of time to create, clean up, and get on with the day? Wonder what to do with…
