real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
I can’t think of anything more pleasant than the smell of freshly baked bread. Well maybe eating the bread smothered in real butter is slightly (or way more!) pleasant.I have been working on bread recipes for what seems like years. It really has only been a couple. But in bread making…oh the finicky-ness of it!…
Any new mama you talk to will tell you, having a good glider rocker is essential to surviving the baby/toddler years! I feel like I have lived in a glider rocker since my oldest was born 3 1/2 years ago. To be honest we got the blue light special to save money; and while I…
Ok, so we have “real foodified” the sugar cookies – now lets dress them up!I’m gonna make a quick note here. In our house cookies and treats like this are called “occasional treats” – because that is what they should be. I’m not trying to glorify icing or powdered sugar, or cookies for that matter….
One of my favorite memories growing up during Christmas time was sugar cookie making and decorating!I knew I wanted to start this tradition with my kids, but with everything I knew about food colorings like red 40 and yellow 5, processed flours and sugars, and junk oils, I just knew I was going to have…
I am a little late to the party on the whole re-useable bag thing. I think I got my first few a couple years ago – just a couple cloth bags for taking to the farmer’s market. I really do just adore them, but never really brought them along with me to the store or…
I came across 100% Pure a little over a year ago. I was so torn with my desire to wear make-up, and the knowledge that the ingredients in most cosmetics were so toxic. I may be pretty low maintenance, maybe even considered a bit of a hippie, but I’m just like any other girl! I…
I’m hoping by posting this early enough that you will be able to put this on the menu a couple times this holiday season!Traditionally, wassail was made in England after the apple harvests were done. It was a way to commemorate their apple trees in hopes of a good harvest the following year. I have…
I saw the idea of a “stuffed pepper soup” somewhere on Pinterest last year and played around with it enough last winter to figure out how we like it 🙂I really liked the idea since making actual stuffed peppers is kind of fussy. You are going to love how easy this is. It just needs…
There’s nothing quite like walking in to storytime with your perfectly healthy kids to a room full of green snot noses, sneezing, and hacking little tots. Seriously?! Well there is no turning around to go back home because the girls are super excited about story and craft time. And to be honest I’m not afraid…
This is such a delicious recipe for those beef roast leftovers! Most of the time when I’m picking out a chuck roast, I try to go for the biggest one that I can find with bone in, so I can have leftovers enough to make this recipe 🙂 This is actually a spin off on…
There is NOTHING like filling your house with the smell of a beef that has been roasting all afternoon. This recipe is SO simple. I promise!Be sure you know where your meat is coming from. It pays to find a trustworthy farmer in your area that is letting their cows to pasture, not filling them…
Have you had your fill yet?! You know…the turkey. I happen to adore turkey, but after a day or so of the same meal for lunch *and* dinner…well, the turkey that is left has turned a bit dry, and I start running out of all of those tasty side dishes! I typically save a portion…
