real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
**The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free** Some sort of sound is always happening in our house. And I’m not referring to the non-stop talking coming out of the mouths of my little ladies. Most times it is…
Do you have a loved one who lives far away? My parents moved from Michigan to Tennessee in 2005. In 2007, I gave birth to our first child. They hopped in the car as soon as they found out I was in labor and managed to make it just before my daughter was born. They…
We all know a superhero or two. Dads, grandpas, a favorite teacher or mentor. Mine is the father of my three kids. He is always there when we need him, steps in to do the right thing even when it is hard, and teaches our kids how to grow up to be superheroes too. I…
I cannot even begin to describe the rush of emotions I felt as I pulled this amazing bear out of the box. Every piece of him is made from an article of my son’s clothing, so as I looked at every color, design and detail, I could not help but remember all the fun I…
What do you get the man who seems to have everything? This is the question I found myself asking as my 6 year anniversary rolled around. My hubby has so many hobbies: hunting, golfing, fishing, archery… anything outdoorsy, you name it! I don’t think giving him a fishing pole conveys what I want to say…
What do you do when a “spark” of creativity hits you? Start a company of course! That is exactly what these two moms did when they founded Spark & Spark. When I was first introduced to Spark & Spark, I was immediately in love! As you look through their website, you are greeted by fresh…
Within the past year or so I have started to wear jewelry again. Necklaces, bracelets, earrings. All retired for a few years while my kids went through the “I’ll yank that right off/out of you and destroy it in the process” phase. (We’ve all been through that phase where accessorizing is extremely difficult to accomplish.)…
I distinctly remember growing up and playing The Game of Life with my sister. We lived in the country and when we weren’t outside playing, we were inside playing games. Whether it was board games or make-believe games. We were constantly keeping busy with “non” technology. And I’d like to think we turned out ok!…
With the holidays over, you may be sighing in relief. After frantically trying to come up with a creative way to display your Elf on the Shelf for days on end, you might find yourself a bit mentally exhausted. How much time did you spend on the internet trying to come up with a unique…
My husband travels a good amount, so when I want something really put to the test and could be used on a trip, I usually send it off with him. He is great at generating some GOOD experienced information for my review. In this particular case he did not want to give the item back…
You probably saw my post a few days ago about your sneak peek opportunity to see the American Girl 2014 Girl of the Year. Did you watch it on Good Morning America? Have you checked out American Girl since then to see the little beauty? Oh she’s divine and precious, just like all the others! …
If you know American Girl dolls, you full well know that Saige was 2013’s American Girl “Girl of the Year” doll. She is gone as of December 31, 2013. And in some places, she is gone already. They are here for only a short time, a year. However, I have exciting news for you all!…
