real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
I love to cook, but my greatest weakness in the kitchen is getting the meat done right. I have found my Cave Tools meat thermometer to be a great help. We grill a few times a week. I found this thermometer super easy to use. This tool is not only great for grilling, but it…
Today is always a busy, but fun day filled with parties, too much candy, and cute kids in costumes. There may also be the reminders that other moms are more clever then you are when it comes to homemade costumes or Pinterest inspired treats that are on point. It’s okay, just enjoy your kiddos and…
Halloween is almost here. Is your family costume ready? Or are you like so many other people at this time of year, wishing you had more hours in the day and had costumes already figured out for your family? Well, no fear. I am here for YOU! As in years past, I love to share…
Halloween is coming up soon! I volunteered to plan my son’s school Halloween party so I’ve been looking for simple crafts, snacks and games that can be done on a budget in a fairly short time frame. Here are a few activities we’ve done in the past that were simple and fun. Juice box mummies. …
Within the last week we have really started to see the change in seasons happening around our area. The pumpkin farm down the road is in full swing of harvest and cleaning pumpkins off for sale on a daily basis, many of the apple trees surrounding our house are picked bare, and the field crops…

Dear Charlie, You begin kindergarten in just two weeks. This is going to be new for the both of us. For the first time in 11 years, I won’t have a chubby child in my cart as I run errands. The car will be strangely quiet. Nobody will beg for one more kiss goodbye over…
Being an eight year old is hard! Finding the right fashion for an eight year old is even harder. With school starting, it’s time to find all the much needed clothing styles and shoes. My daughter is getting to have an opinion in her fashion and what she wears these days, so we are compromising…
Americana Pillow Pet was provided for the purpose of the review. All other Pillow Pets were purchased ourselves. Yes, we have a few:) A few years ago I started a tradition with my kids. On the last day of school (or the first real day of summer if I need a little extra time), I…
Did you have a good Memorial Day weekend? I’m catching up after a few days of fun plus we are in the final stretch of school. It’s particularly busy since my husband and I are both on staff. I’m excited that we are close to summer, but trying to finish strong and keep it…
