real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
This Fall, after we moved to our new house, I went through every single box that we had been stacked in our storage room in our old house. High school, college, post-college, baby moments. All of it. And there was a lot! So, what does one do with all that stuff? Among the boxes of memories…
Whether it’s that adventures red head or that hardworking girl from the French Quarter or the small town girl who had a love for books and people, everyone has a favorite Disney Princess. And my girls are no exception. Although that changes quite often because “I just love them all so much, mom!” (Zoe, 5yrs) If…
A pop of color can brighten up almost any room. An easy and very inexpensive way to add a bit of color here or there is with a painted vase! What you will need: A glass vase — this is a great way to reuse the vases you have stored away in your cabinet or…
From the very first time that my girls saw Sofia the First, they fell in love! As a matter of fact, my Zoe decided she would now like to be called “Zoe the First”, since she’s our first Zoe and all. I guess as far as princesses go, Sofia is a pretty good role model….
My girls have officially been in school for a month now and I would definitely say that they have adjusted well. And our Back To School supplies seem to be holding up as well! Then there is Talon, the little brother left at home with mom while his sisters are at school. I wasn’t sure…
One of my favorite things about moving into a new house is the decorating. It’s like a blank canvas. A decorating ‘do-over’. Deciding what should go where and how to make things fit just right for us. The problem :: I’m not a fan of putting holes in the wall only to decide two weeks…
I love Halloween! We don’t go all out on decorating or haunted houses but decorating pumpkins, costumes and trick-or-treating are a must! I’ve always wanted to be one of those families where the entire family dressed up as a theme. You know, everyone dresses as a different character from a favorite movie or book. Doesn’t…
Fall is in the air and Fall sports are in full-swing! This is our first year being a Fall-sports family, as my daughter is checking out soccer for the first time. It was probably pretty obvious, my family’s newness to this all, as we fumbled our way to the soccer field carrying chairs, a blanket…
With the school year underway, we’ve already had our fair share of battles — outfit choices, lunch choices, playing outside vs. doing homework right away, wearing school clothes and shoes to play outside at home, etc. But none of these battles even compare to the Radio Battle! Abbi, my 7 year old, loves having music…
We’ve done it! We’ve managed to make it through those first few days {or weeks} of the school year. We’ve shopped for school supplies and replenished their wardrobes with clothes that fit. Give yourself a little pat on the back, but know that we’re not in the clear. Our next hurdle….school pictures! I’ve had my…
I absolutely love early elementary “Back To School” shopping lists! Yes, of course we had a few more items on our BTS shopping list this year (backpacks, shoes, lunch boxes), but I was pumped to find that 90% of our Back To School shopping happened in just one section — The Crayola section!!! We love…
My kids start school in t minus 5 days and I am knee deep in bags of Back To School gear and supplies and lists of things we need to do and things we have yet to get. Because, despite my best efforts, I am that procrastinating mom who put everything off to the week before. {hanging…
