real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
LEGOs….parents have been cursing them and praising them for decades! So much emotion wrapped up in a tiny little building block 😉 Despite the pain experienced when stepping on those little bricks (seriously, how is it that they are invisible until you step on them?), I adore LEGOs and LEGO style building toys. They are…
Last year I packed approximately 360 school lunches (that’s 180 days of lunches for 2 girls). Not that I’m complaining. Packing lunches each morning was a pretty easy task, especially knowing that my girls were getting a nutritious lunch with foods I knew they’d actually eat. But those last few weeks? Yeah, I was ready…
Selfies :: Love ’em or hate ’em, they are here to stay! From kids to celebrities to your grandma, everyone seems to be getting in on the Selfies. But not everyone is loving the Selfie craze. Especially when people are using things like a Selfie-Stick in public places! With the boom of the Selfie, amusement parks,…
My kids have absolutely fallen in love with Miles from Tomorrowland, one of the newest shows to hit Disney Junior this year. They just can’t get enough of the galactic adventures and space-age fun! If you haven’t seen it yet, the cartoon follows space adventurer Miles Callisto and his family — mom Phoebe, the…
I’ve kind of dug my heels in, trying to slow down time this Summer but, much to my dismay, Fall seems to be coming our way full force! Everywhere I turn, I’m seeing, hearing and reading signs of Fall’s arrival. Namely, “Back To School” chatter and “Elections” news. Despite how you might feel about either…
Everyone in our family loves music. Living room dance parties and impromptu rock concerts in the cars are a regular occurrence {despite that four out of the five of us can’t carry a tune}! But, as the kids get older and their musical tastes change, we sometimes find it hard to agree on what music…
Most of our Summer days are spent tackling some sort of project around our house or yard. We like to take advantage of the beautiful Summer weather as much as we can. But then there are those days where we just choose to grab our blankets, towels or chairs, a good book and spend the…
Lately I’ve noticed that I have been feeling really blah about our bedroom decor. Normally this is when I would bust out the painting gear and make a trip to the hardware store for some fun new paint color. My husband has learned to cringe when he sees the paintbrushes and paint swatches sitting on the…
There’s nothing quite like a child’s imagination! And, with a little bit of child magic, it can bring the world to life! That’s exactly the case in Amy Dixon’s new book “Sophie’s Animal Parade“. Sophie loves to draw and, in Sophie’s world, everything she draws comes to life. Sounds fun, right? Until one day…
I received a Wendell August product for the purpose of this review. This post was made possible by Mom Spark Media. Thoughts are my own. It’s wedding season! I love wedding season! The dresses. The emotions. The CAKE! What is it about wedding cake that makes it soooo good? It’s like a magical slice of yummy…
It goes without fail :: I pour myself my one coveted cup of coffee for the day. I can almost taste its goodness as it brews. A nice tall mug of delicious coffee topped off with that day’s flavored creamer of choice. I set it on the end table to cool a little and go…
We are so fortunate to live in an area with miles and miles of beautiful beaches. It’s one of our favorite places to spend our summer days and evenings. But it’s not relaxing. Even on the days when we have the beach almost to ourselves, I’m on high alert. It can be exhausting! So, before…
