real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
One of my favorite movies growing up was The Sound of Music. If you asked me to, I could probably sing you every word to every song! I’m sitting here humming “these are a few of my favorite things” as I type. When I found out there was going to be a new version of…
This is my son’s first Christmas, so I want to make this holiday season extra special. While the Christmas tree, lights, decorations, food and atmosphere add to the “feel” of Christmas, the things that last are the memories we make and cherish the rest of our lives. After a fun afternoon of tromping through the…
I know most of us have probably just finished stuffing ourselves with delicious left over turkey and mash potatoes, so I may hear a few audible groans when I mention yoga and pilates. After seeing for yourself what an amazing workout this is for mommy’s-to-be (anyone really) you may find yourself motivated like I did!…
Snow? Already? I can hardly believe it is that time of the year again! Since most of my life has been consumed with baby things this past year, I thought I would share a throwback photo from last winter. During the first snow, Max and I went out for a walk (well… Max was running…
Barney has done it once again! This perfectly purple dinosaur has laughed, sang, and danced his way into our hearts all while teaching my son to be creative, expand his imagination, and how to share with others. The emphasis on colors in this trio of episodes is sure to encourage your child to look at…
What is one of the best things about cloth diapering besides the amazing money saving benefits, saving our planet from millions of disposable diapers, and avoiding skin contact with toxic chemicals? Of course it is the PRINTS!! Glow Bug Diapers have to have the cutest prints I have ever seen on cloth diapers! If you…
I love a good holiday movie to get me in the Christmas spirit. Ordinarily, I like to wait until after Thanksgiving to do anything related to Christmas, but this year I just can’t help myself! After watching Coming Home for Christmas, anything Christmas-y is fair game. I don’t even mind the stores that are playing…
Ever since I was little, opening my stocking has been something special. My mom always loved filling our stocking with fun little treats. Perhaps one of my favorite stockings to this day contained a tin cup, a peppermint stick and a penny. If you are a fan of Little House on the Prairie, you will…
I am sure a lot of you can share in my enthusiasm when I say I LOVE Christmas! I love everything about the Christmas season… the twinkle lights, the music, the snow on the ground, being able to give gifts to those I love, sugar cookies, my list could go on and on! Amidst all…
When I heard about the company “Merle & Velma” I was intrigued by the story behind the name. Since I am super sentimental, I absolutely LOVED reading about these 2 hardworking women who had a profound impact on the owner of this company. It is with their drive and determination in mind that the owner…
I love books that have a positive message and teach valuable lessons to my son, and Can’t Wait Willow by Shine Bright Kids does just that! What I did not expect from this book was that it would be a great reminder to ME that sometimes you have to say “no” to the good things…
My husband has been begging me for a dry erase board for a couple years now, but I just could not bring myself to purchase a white board to hang on my wall and take up precious “art” space. The other day I was looking through some of my antique windows that I rescued from…
