real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
home decor, furniture, reusable shopping bags, luggage, reusable water bottles, pillows & bedding
Planning a birthday party where the guest list includes both boys and girls and varying ages can prove to be quite difficult. Or, at least, makes this mom reach deep into those creative depths. After weeks of tossing around theme ideas, I finally landed on it :: T-Shirts and Tattoos! And my {newly turned} 6…
I have come to the conclusion it doesn’t really matter what time of year it is, we are weekly packing up lunches, snacks, produce, leftovers for ourselves! While in the fall and winter there are daily school snacks and lunches, in the spring and summer we can add in packing up for park and beach…
You may recall my post last fall featuring Zooligans, a brand of shoes my daughter and I totally love! They are quality. They are cute. That same company is launching a second brand (in addition to Zooligans) called United Shoes of America. The shoes are completely made in the USA – even the materials and…
It seems like you can never have a big enough diaper bag when your babies are little, but I’ve found that as my “little” man has gotten older, I am no longer needing such a big bag. Personally it’s a relief for me (and my back!), not to have to lug around that monstrous thing,…
I don’t know how it is at your house, but at mine, dinner can go one of two ways: quick and on-the-go (think hot dogs and cheese cubes, people!), or a family affair, complete with placemats and 5 sets of buns in chairs for the better part of an hour. As you may (or may…
At the first hint of nice weather, my kids have taken up residency outside. They will literally spend every moment outside, only to come in when called in for bedtime. And, since I absolutely adore that they are outside playing and exploring together, I typically let them stay out there as long as possible, leaving…
Planning a party and hosting a party are difficult feats in and of themselves. Holy cow does it take a lot to pull off a fabulous one! I was recently given the task of creating a DisneySide party and I took the task on with a smile. Having a house full of kiddos, I jumped…
A master chef I am not, however, I am a parent who likes to make tasty and hopefully healthy foods for my family to eat. Even with my rudimentary culinary skills I know that spices, herbs, and flavors can make all the difference between a meal being a family favorite or a complete flop. Thanks…
You don’t have to be around my kids very long to realize how *busy* they are. I have no idea where they get that from *ahem*…but it’s true. My girls never sat still in a baby swing or baby seat very long. All 3 of them have loved being in bouncy, jumpy, moving toys from…
Oh how I love my kitchen gadgets. Mixer, coffee maker, ice cream maker, bread maker, the list goes on. Even though my mixer hasn’t gotten used at all this winter I’m not going to get rid of it (baking cookies doesn’t exactly help with the current weight loss goals if you know what I mean)….
Several years ago someone mentioned to me that if you can’t pronounce the names of ingredients OR there are more than 8-10 ingredients listed, then the product is probably not something we should be using or ingesting. Unfortunately today, it is very hard to find products that have a high enough standard to maintain this…
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Figleaves. I don’t know about you, but after having children, it sure seems like the unmentionables don’t seem to get the attention they used to. I recall going with girlfriends on shopping trips and we always stopped at the lingerie and undergarments stores. Now….
