real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
One of my favorite things about warm weather is fun summer dresses. I love dresses that are flowy, comfy, and easy to wear. Having had a baby this past year, my figure is not (yet) what it once was so I really enjoy a cute maxi dress. The dress I received from Conversation Pieces is…
My kiddos love to read. Our bookshelf is ever expanding with new books and we read a (kid-chosen) story to each of our little ones each night as part of their bedtime routine. We also go to the library at least once a week to find new favorites and try to have a “quiet time”…
A year ago, my baby brother moved back to Michigan from Nashville, Tennessee to take a job working for my husband. Until then, he had been living with my parents as he searched for a job in the music industry in Music City. Much easier said than done. So he packed up his little car…
There are few things more important than finding a comfortable bra that fits your body and accentuates your…..features. Most women can attest to the fact that it is difficult to find a bra that can do all three of those things. Well, I am here to tell you that the Coobie Bra not only delivers…
We are a full-fledged princess house. Since my oldest daughter turned 2 (she is almost 6 now), she has been obsessed with anything involving princesses. Castles, wands, glass slippers, crowns….no royal paraphernalia is off limits. Now that we have two little girls (my youngest just turned 1 last week), I do not see any end…
When it comes to jewelry, I like to keep things simple. Too much bling does not an outfit make, in my opinion. I enjoy classic pieces, clean lines, and items that will suit my taste for the long haul. And as a mama of three, I need jewelry that can withstand little hands grabbing and…
We are big music fans at my house. Rarely do we embark on a journey, whether it be down the street to Target or 500 miles south to visit Gramma Judi and Papa Bob, without turning on some tunes. As a family of five, our music tastes are somewhat eclectic. My hubby and I love sharing our…
So few baby products are geared exclusively towards guys these days. We have boppy pillows, baby slings, skin-to-skin carriers….all of which are marketed to women. I can’t remember the last time I saw a guy with a boppy around his waist snuggling with his newborn baby. So, without further adieu, allow me to introduce you…
The words “back to school” elicit one of two reactions. If you’re a teacher, it is often a sense of dread that summer vacation is almost over, mixed with the excitement of meeting new students. If you’re a mom, it is an overwhelming sense of relief that brings with it a teensy bit of guilt for…
The heat of the past few weeks here in Michigan has finally started to get to me. Even my three and five year-olds have said to me a number of times, “Mommy, it’s too hot out here. Can we go inside?” You can’t argue with that. It is inherent child nature to want to be outside….
This is my first summer being a mom of three. In just a few short weeks, my eldest daughter will be a full-time kindergartner and my son will be in “three-school” two days a week, leaving just me and my (almost) 1-year old baby girl to spend some quality time together. My overloaded and overworked…
Ok, mom confession time. I HATE board games. Like, really really hate them. I have seriously considered hiding all the ‘special cards’ in Candy Land so that I don’t have to face the mental anguish of being three spaces from the finish line and drawing the dreaded gingerbread man card. Don’t even get me started…
