real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
With Father’s Day just around the corner, we’re taking a break from those “World’s Greatest Dad” coffee mugs this year and searching for gifts that Dad really wants. Of course, if he really wants a new coffee mug, by all means go with it! But we wanted show you three great Father’s Day gift ideas…
The warmer weather has been absolutely fabulous here lately, as it has allowed us to spend a lot of time outside. But I’m always amazed at how much “outside” comes back inside with us! I’m definitely finding myself sweeping and vacuuming a lot more lately. One thing I like to do when vacuuming is sprinkle…
We’re in an interesting phase in our lives {my family}. In the past three weeks I’ve registered my oldest child for Middle School next year and registered my youngest for Kindergarten! Come this fall, all three of my kids will be in school all day and we’ll be navigating the ever-changing waters of Middle School….
Essential Oils….mention those two simple words and those around you will either high-five you (and dish on all their favorite ways to use them), roll their eyes (ugh, another fad!), or look at you like you just spoke some ancient language that no one understands. At least those are the three reactions I have gotten over…

It’s an odd feeling to be looking ahead to the 2016/2017 school year when we’re just rounding the corner to finish up the 2015/2016 school year. But that’s exactly where we’re at right now as we register our son for Kindergarten! Yikes! I don’t even know where the past 5 years have gone! And here…
What does it for you? What, during those hectic days, gives you a sense of peace? Grounds you…centers you…gives you a moment of zen? I’d love do say “I’m asking for a friend” but, I’m not. I’m asking because, after what felt like a low-key Winter, our Spring has ramped up full force! Sure, Spring…
It’s hard to believe that just eight years ago we were introduced to this young girl by the name of Katniss Everdeen and the broken world she was living in. This heart wrenching idea that a government would place children from each area of the country into an arena to fight to the death; The…
I believe it’s no coincidence that my kids’ Spring Break, an entire week of no school, occurs right at the very beginning of Spring. Just about the same time when it’s warm enough to toss open these windows and scrub away all the winter dirt, grime and blahs. It’s like the universe is saying, “these kids…
Just when we thought it would never arrive, it’s finally here! Well, it *will* be here this weekend… THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!!! All things colorful and new and springy! And this Spring we want to celebrate with a little Bliss! How fabulous would it be to receive a box full of lovely new items…
It’s National Bubble Week and there’s nothing that screams “outdoor fun” more than bubbles!
