real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
back to school fashion, school supplies
Even though school just got out, that doesn’t mean we stop packing lunches! We have already gone on some fun, all day adventures this summer. Kids eat a LOT and they tend to eat quite frequently. I was recently given two PackIt Freezable Lunch Bags for my girls and they have come in quite handy…
My oldest daughter will be in kindergarten next year. How did that happen?! While I’m fretting about not seeing my baby girl *all day*, she is bouncing off the walls excited about getting to be in school with the big kids, not have to take a nap with her little sisters, and of course, get…
I am not a morning person. Therefore, my kids are not morning people either. Except, of course, on Saturdays when we all could {theoretically} sleep in and then they are all gung-ho about jumping out of bed to greet the day at 7:02. During the week, though, getting them out of bed is no joke….
It’s no secret children’s great imaginations take them places where some can only dream of going. Picture a world with pirates, tricksters, and vegan zombies, roaming schools, parks and gardens in search of legendary adventures. Well, picture it no more, Beasty Buddies are here. We were sent a Bombix hat and plush monster to have…
Since my daughter is not in school yet and just loves that her big brother wears a backpack to school, I had to find her one. My son carried this LÄSSIG to preschool a couple years ago. Your kids will go wild with the LÄSSIG Wildlife Collection Mini Backpack. These adorable animal-inspired backpacks are the perfect size…
You know I {heart} Step2’s products, so when the opportunity came to get you all a chance to win a fabulous prize pack from Step2, I was on it like “white on rice”. Oh yes! Before you keep reading, click on over to a post on SIMPLE with some ideas on how to keep your…
As much fun as my kids have trick-or-treating for Halloween candy they don’t really enjoy all the candy they get. On top of that, there is no way I am going to let them mainline such a massive combination of sugar and artificial colors/dyes. (Feeding my children artificial dyes is worse than letting them eat…
What is it about Back to School time? It’s exciting for a majority of kids. When you think back to school, what is the first thing “back to school” that you think of? Is it the back to school clothes shopping? It typically is for me, except this year my daughter’s found some back packs…
“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Starburst. I received product samples to facilitate my review and promotional item as a thank you for participating.” I am not a crafty person. There I said it. I ADMIT it! As hard as I try, it just makes me anxious when it…
As we begin another school year with my kiddos I’m finding that my girls are very interested in all things scientific. While I’m super excited about this interest (YAY!) I wasn’t quite sure how to encourage them with learning all things scientific in an age appropriate manner. Be still my beating heart when I discovered…
It’s that time of year where you send your kids back to school. Do you know what you will send for lunch? I have the hardest time trying to get my son to even eat lunch at school. He will not eat a sandwich at school. The best thing, so far, is doing a bento…
The new school year is here, so it’s a great time to re-evaluate and revamp what we’re going to feed our kids for lunch. Finding options that are convenient, healthier and delicious can be a difficult task. Luckily, Pirate’s Booty makes the grade! Baked, all-natural Pirate’s Booty has all the fun, but half the fat…
