real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Mother’s Day is coming up FAST! May 11th is the day, are you ready? Do you know a Mom, or is it YOUR mom who goes above and beyond? Let’s face it, all Mom’s really do go above and beyond. So, why not reward them? What mom in your life would you like to give…
I don’t know about you, but I absolutely LOVE being outdoors. Throughout the winter months when I am snowed in here in Michigan, I sit and daydream about when I will be able to be outside again. Whether it is working in my garden, reading a good book or having fun playing games with my…
Mother’s Day is next weekend! Have you found that perfect giver yet? No? No worries! I have the perfect gift to please any mom, grandma, or aunt! Handmade? Check! Includes chocolates? Check! Features your adorable kids? Check! And to top it all off, it’s super easy to make and inexpensive. I know! It’s like I…
If you’re anything like me, you take an exorbitant number of photos with your phone and a good bit of those end up on Instagram or Facebook. Both my parents and in-laws are active on social media and can see the pictures when they post, but my grandparents don’t even have a computer. Even though…
Truth: I am 36 years old and I have never worn an apron while cooking. I am also the daughter of a self-professed foodie who has worn her fair share of aprons over the years. The aprons I have seen others wearing always look very restraining and rigid. Sure, maybe they keep the food off…
A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to be one of the first to see “Moms’ Night Out,” a laugh out loud comedy about life in the hood….the mamahood, that is. And I am so excited that I get to tell you firsthand about how amazingly funny and honest it is. I am not…
Ah, spring. It is {finally} upon us! And for us Michiganders (Michiganians???) this means pulling out the flip flops and tees even if there is a snowbank or two still sprinkling the landscape. I have talked before about the joy of a comfy t-shirt. And it is so true. The feel of soft cotton on…
You take {dozens of} photos of your kids every day. Being goofy. Looking cute. Sharing an ice cream cone with the family dog. Throwing a temper tantrum in the middle of the grocery store. Then you open Instagram, add some fun filter, maybe some text or a witty caption and post for the insta-world to…
“My blog post was written as part of my collaboration with eBay.” If you haven’t noticed, I have kinda been in love with eBay lately. I have some more collections to share with you! What a better way to showcase what you want, need and LOVE than with an eBay collection. This time around, I…
While I hardly believe any momma should just get *one* day of pampering from her family, I just had to share some great ideas for Mother’s Day with our readers! I introduced Herbal Grace Creations to you this winter (see my original review HERE), and I just fell in love with their philosophy in…
As much as I love to receive flowers, the frugal part of me cringes when they die and I throw them away. I think Chocolate Flowers is a combination of my favorite things and I get to eat the flowers when I’m done enjoying them. Don’t be trying that with a real bouquet of flowers!…
