real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
It’s been twenty years since I’ve visited the church from my childhood but I can still describe to you every single detail of how it was decorated for Christmas every single year. Just thinking about it, I can even smell the oranges the ladies from the church placed in the goodie bags they gave to…
As a mom of a toddler, I am always looking for functional products to make my life easier. When they are super cute…. well, that is an added bonus! The Posh Play Mat is one of my favorite multi-functional, must-have items for moms with young children. Kids make messes. The Posh Play Mat helps contain…
My blog post was written as part of my collaboration with WyshMe. All views and opinions are my own. We are in the thick of our Christmas event here on the blog. Oh how I love this time of year!! The goodies to make and eat, the gifts to buy and give. So much love…
With three busy children, keeping on top of our schedule is one thing that I can’t let slip. I’ve tried different planners in the past–some didn’t leave me enough space to write all of our appointments whereas others seemed to overwhelm me with too many extra tasks. I was looking for something simple, with just…

The Word of God is the most precious thing in the world to me. It is uplifting. It is empowering. It is encouraging. It is admonishing. It helps you to grow. It guides/directs you. It give you hope for the future. What’s better than having the knowledge of God fill my mind daily? Having the opportunity to…
There isn’t a day that goes by that my living room isn’t transformed into my son’s personal train yard! He loves playing with his wooden train tracks and trains and imagines a whole train world around him! Of course most days the dogs and I end up encircled in his track creations!! Seeing how much…
As fall wraps around us and, we start preparing for The Holidays. Halloween has come and gone. Thanksgiving is on the way. And Christmas will rush up behind it. As the days get shorter and shorter, we try to squeeze more and more into each day. It’s exhausting. And in all the rushing and running,…
I’m not great with correspondence. I’ve been known to miss a birthday here or there or finally get birth announcements in the mail a few months after the baby was born. But Christmas cards are my thing. I love sending out cards each year. And, since it is something I do only once a year,…
In our house, and I’m sure in many houses, Christmas is a time of presents, presents, and more presents. Sometimes there are so many presents at once, that some of them just get lost in the shuffle. So what if there was a way to spread the presents out all year long? Kids Prize Pack…
“Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree” — EEK! It’s coming!! Not even CLOSE to ready, yet I do have my Christmas cards. Are you one to procrastinate and get them out last minute? OR, are you like me and want to get them out the day after Thanksgiving? We have a fun family tradition (like many,…
