real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Bikes, baby toys, rakes, shovels, watering cans, lawnmower, trashcans, yard waste bags, recycle bin, Christmas tree stand, BB gun target… what do all these things have in common? They are all in our garage. How we manage to fit these things (and much, MUCH more!) in our garage as well as our vehicles I will…
My son absolutely LOVES to sit and snuggle with me as we read a good book. Of course he has his favorite books that we read over… and over… and over… again! Recently he added to his “favorite list” when he received the My SuperSomeone book from flattenme. Anyone can be a SuperSomeone: an aunt, cousin, mom,…
I don’t know about you, but I absolutely LOVE being outdoors. Throughout the winter months when I am snowed in here in Michigan, I sit and daydream about when I will be able to be outside again. Whether it is working in my garden, reading a good book or having fun playing games with my…
Just call me Paula Dean… I LOVE butter!!! Butter on my popcorn. Butter on my pancakes. Butter to cook my chicken. Butter, butter, BUTTER! I won’t get into the debate about butter over margarine because butter will win every time! Haha… I love me some butter! Ok… I think you get the drift. I love…

Every couple of weeks or so, I would get online and look at muslin blankets for my son. He may not need to be swaddled any more, but the “other mommies” that I know that have muslin swaddle blankets swear by them and say that their kids LOVE them! Eventually I took the plunge…
About a week ago, I was standing in our bedroom and watched as my son took one little staggering step from the doorjamb to the door. That was the beginning… it was the beginning of those little wobbly steps that have quickly turned into a soft pitter patter. It’s becoming less and less frequent to…
Believe it or not, my husband understood more about accessorizing that I did when I first met him… I know! I can hear all you women out there giving an audible gasp. A man with a knack for fashion? Yep, and he’s all mine! To say that he has broadened my appreciation for accessories is…
I was not sure what to expect when I popped My Name is Paul into the DVD player. More times than not, when producers try to take a “spin” on Biblical characters, I am usually left a little disappointed. This was not the case with this movie! I was very pleased with this futuristic analogy…
Let’s face it… Sometimes the ONLY way we can get our little one to sleep is by holding them. I know there are so many different thoughts on how you should teach your child to sleep, but when you are a sleep deprived new mommy you go into survival mode. I know I’ve spent MANY…

My husband and I recently committed to a lifestyle change. I want my son to grow up in a healthy family… healthy activities, healthy products and healthy eating! I love to be active and spend as much time outdoors as I can, but the area in which I struggle is with food. Have you looked…
