real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Once I had my first little baby, I wanted her name plastered over anything and everything, showing all who take the time to look that I was in LOVE with this sweet babe. Loved her so much that I wanted it to be the first thing everyone saw when they looked at me. I know…
The perfect bowl for Halloween treats. A classic tray for serving up summertime appetizers. A special bowl to showcase your favorite autumn pumpkin pasta. A seasonal platter for showcasing your colorful Christmas cookies. I love to serve my favorite recipes in dishes that fit the season. But having serving dishes for every holiday and season…
My kids and I have a hard time finding a gift for my mom that is special but practical, too. This year we decided to go with a Mother’s Bracelet from Pearls by Laurel. Pearls by Laurel used genuine Swarovski birthstone pearls for each grandchild as a way to represent her five grandchildren in a piece…
It’s been a long day…all your kids needed baths, you did dishes for what seemed like all day…you slaved in the kitchen not only making dinner, but cookies for your family to enjoy when they get home for the day. Your back is aching and all you want to do is make an appointment with…
I went through many sleepless nights the past few weeks, so when I stumbled across this quote the other day, it became my mantra! It meant so much to this mommy heart of mine… I had to share it with you!
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…
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…
So you just realized that Mother’s Day was tomorrow? Yeah. Me, too. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t give a meaningful gift. You’ll need: a canvas, some black paint, a paintbrush, one piece of paper, one piece of chalk, and BIC Mark-It Metallic Permanent Markers. Start by painting the canvas solid black. (You can…
I received a Restaurant.com gift card for the purpose of this review. This post was made possible by Mom Spark Media. Thoughts are my own. I would dare say that Mother’s Day is one of those “last minute” gift buying holidays. I couldn’t even tell you how many times my husband has said to me, “Remind…
**I was offered a gift in exchange for sharing this post. Regardless, you know I love Kohl’s!** As you know, I’m a huge fan of everything that Kohl’s has to offer. I have especially focused on their fashion side of things. Yet, they have SO much more to offer! In my humble, but completely accurate…
