real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
A couple weeks ago, my husband and I started reading One Way Love. Every night we crawl into bed and read a portion of this book. While we have not quite finished it yet, I can already tell you that this book has been a blessing. About One Way Love Real life is long on…
Some of my fondest memories are triggered by a familiar scent. A specific perfume reminds me of my grandma. The smell of burning wood reminds me of many nights spent telling stories around a campfire. The smell of baby wash reminds me of my son. The sense of smell is so powerful! So what makes…
Fall is in the air here in Michigan, which means the local farmers market is flooded with juicy apples. I don’t know about you, but they call to me. Just BEGGING me to take them home! Recently, I helped host a baby shower for one of my dear friends. The theme? The Apple of My…
Music is in my soul… There is hardly a time that you will find me NOT whistling a happy tune or singing at the top of my lungs while dancing around my kitchen. Am I the only one that does this?? Maybe you should try it some time! I think it is quite therapeutic 🙂…

I will be the first one to admit that since actually becoming a mother, I do things a little differently than I ever THOUGHT I would. Wow was I a misguided “pre-mom.” Haha!! There are many decision that I have made over the past year that are completely contradictory to what I thought was a…
I have been having so much fun reliving my fond childhood moments with my son. So when the opportunity came for me to review Barney: Most Huggable Moments I jumped at the opportunity! I can remember how much I enjoyed singing along with this loveable purple dinosaur and it is even better now watching my…
I found these sweet baby birds in our yard the day after a major storm had swept through our area. My animal loving heart felt for these innocent babies, so of course I watched to see if the mamma bird was around. To my joy I saw her swoop in to feed her babies! Over…
