real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
If you have followed SIMPLE for a while now, you have probably realized that I am a huge Gro-Via fan! I’m talking head over heals, buy all the fluff, heart starts to race when I see a Gro-Via sale… in LOVE! There is just something about seeing my son’s tushie in one of his Gro-Via…
So we all know that love for a man and woman can be as different as black and white, venus and mars, give and take… showing someone you love them can be difficult if your “love languages” differ. For me, my love language is “time.” I love it when my husband blocks off time from…
As I sit in the chair waiting, I hear the pitter patter of little feet running across the floor in footed pajamas. Next thing I know, my sweet little boy is launching himself into my arms ready to read his nighttime story… Now this enthusiasm is not every night, and some nights he is so…
I haven’t met a kid yet who does not like stuffed animals. Better yet, I have never met a little kid from the 21st century that does not know how to work electronics better than their parents! haha… Given that kids are so driven by technology today, it is fun to see where technology is…
I can remember as a little girl, my dad always looked forward to Easter because he would get his favorite Easter treat… PEEPS! He would methodically open each package and leave them open over night because he liked them to be a little stale. He said that it added to the flavor and “experience.” He…
Ever since my little man was born, we have been a family on the go! My son has traveled with us to Alaska, Tennessee, Florida, and all across the state of Michigan. He is a pro traveller by the age of TWO! Since my husband and I love to travel and take advantage of this…
One of my favorite traditions with my little man is snuggling in an oversized chair and reading him a bedtime story. From the day I found out I was expecting him, THIS is what I looked forward to… these special moments to teach, snuggle, and cherish. Reading has always been a big part of my…
Whoever said that little boys weren’t any fun to dress must not have had boys! haha… Don’t get me wrong, little girls have the cutest clothes, but just look at how adorable my little man is in these shirts from Ba Ba Bling Baby! Ba Ba Bling Baby adds a little pizzaz into any child’s…
What little boy doesn’t love trucks? Fire trucks, dump trucks, monster trucks… any trucks really! I know my little guy is obsessed right now with anything that makes a manly Vroom-VROOM sound, and if something doesn’t make noise on its own, he will gladly improvise with sound effects of his own. I love watching him…
You know you are a mom when…. The other day I went shopping (by MYSELF!) at one of our local craft stores. I had so much fun taking as much time as I wanted looking at fabric and other such nonsense. After making my selection, I went to the checkout counter and as I reached…
I live I’m Michigan, so I’m pretty sure it goes without saying… we wear boots. Boots in the fall as the weather starts to change. Boots in the winter because, let’s face it, it’s cold! Boots in the spring because all of the snow has melted into a crazy, sloppy mess. What about summer you…
“This post is brought to you by The Stork OTC and The Motherhood. All opinions are my own.” When my husband and I decided that it was time for us to start trying to have a baby, neither of us realized the journey we were about to embark on. I soon learned the agony of waiting…
