real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Ten years ago this May, I was married and whisked away for 10 days of newlyweded honeymoon bliss in Costa Rica. Every morning for breakfast we were served “café con leche” (coffee and milk!) no questions asked. It was just served whether you wanted it or not. I wasn’t a coffee drinker so the first…
Believe it or not, under the snow I see out my window right now, there is actually grass that will grow in the next month. And just down the road from where I live there is the most beautiful beach on the face of this earth. And we spend the majority of the late spring…
So spring is right around the corner, and to the little ones in my house that means a lot more getting “out and about”! My girls are forever finding “treasures” outdoors in the spring and summer, and inevitably I end up finding them in their pockets just before they hit the laundry. These canvas…
I have been a *huge* fan of 100 Percent Pure for years now. (You can read my first review of them HERE). Skin care and cosmetics that are 100% food based with no toxins…that actually work like “regular” beauty products if not better? Perfect! I have been using the cosmetics for 3 years now…
In the last 5 years of having multiple babies, I have become more aware of how baby products are made. I have made the commitment to simplicity when it comes to baby gear. Less is more. Get them exploring and using their brains without all the lights, buttons, and sounds. And it has become increasing…
My oldest daughter, Chloe, has been growing like a weed lately! Seems every time I turn around she has grown out of boots, or her jeans, and of course if clothes aren’t fitting, pajamas aren’t! Over the last year I have made the commitment to organic only pajamas for my girls to avoid toxic flame…
Ahhh age 2… And the cutest little blonde spit fire you’ll ever meet. Don’t get me wrong, Claire is actually a fantastic eater considering most 2 year olds. But my goodness the energy and focus on this kid. She doesn’t want to sit still for a meal if there is running around and playing to…
Well 3 kiddos into this mama-hood thing, I think I have come to the conclusion there isn’t anything more fun to a kid than getting messy! And my girls do a *great* job of making a mess of themselves…daily 😉 We always have a bottle of Mrs. Meyer’s handsoap at the bathroom sink with a…
If you have been around SIMPLE very long you know how scrupulous I am about the food I feed my family. I want to know *every* ingredient. I want to be able to pronounce *every* ingredient. I want to know the food I am feeding my family isn’t full of toxic GMO’s, hormone altering…
Lunch time ruts can get super frustrating. My middle child especially eats better when there is variety during the week. I certainly don’t come up with something new and exciting for lunch every day of the week though! I have a handful of several “lunch time staples” that I rotate to keep the peace. And…
Bath night is such a favorite in our house! With three little girls to get all cleaned up it gets a little crazy, but those after bath cuddles before bed are the best, aren’t they?? I have gone through my share of baby/kid towels. I love their hooded design, but the ones I had were…
Ok so by the time we hit the 5 month mark, my babies are on the MOVE! I love making sure have soft, comfortable clothes for them the wear during the day while they are learning how to roll over, scoot, and crawl! Rompers have quickly become one of my favorite clothing styles for all…
