real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Since technology is everywhere, let’s invite it in to the kitchen as well!! I’ve recently been introduced to the Key Ingredient Recipe Reader, and I have to say, the days of clipping recipes out of magazine or printing them offline are gone. I don’t know about you, but the thought of organizing all the recipes…
We’ve been using Baltic amber necklaces for our girls as a teething remedy since they were both infants. Personally I always felt like the necklaces made a huge difference in managing the teething pain for my girls and I have recommended Baltic amber to many of my friends who are parents struggling with teething kids….
Our house has crayons and scissors and paper and tape and all kinds of craft supplies at the ready and easily accessible at all times. It’s not uncommon to find my kids drawing in their “Dino Field Guides” or painting pictures for their art wall. Legos are every day toys and we have special spots…
Have you ever heard of accessories for shoes? I had not until bumbums & baubles contacted me. Stylish shoes with inter-changable accessories….yes please? I was so excited when I was selected by bumbums & baubles to do a sponsored post on their Lily Mary Janes. My daughter loves shoes so we were so excited to…
Most games are a huge hit in our home. We love to spend quality time with our girls, sitting around a game board of any kind, laughing and having a ball. I received two games from Goliath Games and we have been pleased with both! Wordsearch Junior is a fun game for ages 4 and…
A couple years back we started a new holiday tradition with our girls. Each day during Advent I had a new Christmas themed book for my girls to open or a special activity written on a slip for that day’s Advent Calendar countdown. Every year I add some more books and with this tradition in…
When I first saw the shoes that I’m sharing with you today from Robeez, I knew they had to be mine. I talk a lot and typically tweet a lot too. Not only that, but for my little one that’s still in the womb, she will have accents of little birds in her room. Check…
You may or may not have heard of this small unknown book and film series called The Hunger Games. And I may or may not be counting down the days until the release of the movie Catching Fire. Seriously….why do they torture us with making us wait a year and eight months between movies??? While my girls…

All reading this should raise their hands! 🙂 Signing up is simple, and in the process of signing up, you will have the opportunity…
Earlier this year, I had the wonderful opportunity to attend an event at the American Girl store in downtown Chicago. The funniest thing about it was it was all adult women (ok, maybe a few men). We all walked through the store, dreaming of what magic it would be to bring our children to this…
This Fall, after we moved to our new house, I went through every single box that we had been stacked in our storage room in our old house. High school, college, post-college, baby moments. All of it. And there was a lot! So, what does one do with all that stuff? Among the boxes of memories…
Whether it’s that adventures red head or that hardworking girl from the French Quarter or the small town girl who had a love for books and people, everyone has a favorite Disney Princess. And my girls are no exception. Although that changes quite often because “I just love them all so much, mom!” (Zoe, 5yrs) If…
