real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Pop. Sucker. Treat. Candy. These are the words my little guy says when we head out to the doctor’s office, the store, and church. Before I became a mom of a little one old enough to eat these treats, I never understood why people didn’t let their kids have a piece of candy when someone…
This past weekend the kids and I were just feeling those winter blahs. The snow is starting to melt (yay!) but it leaves everything outside looking drab and dirty and…well…blah! So, we decided to let the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday inspire us and we created Valentine window decals to decorate those blah windows! Sure, you can easily…
As I carried my sweet baby girl throughout the 40 + weeks of pregnancy, I was taken back so many times by the love I already had for the incredible miracle in this precious baby. I was also struck often by the love other people had for this little one that they hadn’t even met. Daddy,…

The sad fact of parenting is that at some point, the sweet little people in our lives are going to fall down and get hurt, or catch an illness of some kind. It’s heart wrenching for both the kiddos and caretakers involved! That’s why, a few years ago, I set out to make something that…
Love is in the air, ladies! Valentine’s Day is just weeks away!! Sure, we’re still stepping on pine needles from the Christmas tree and we may still have a few strings of Christmas lights up outside (which will probably stay there until April), but it’s time to shift our thinking towards hearts and cupid and…
“PLAY is the highest form of research.” – Albert Einstein Recently we received a box in the mail from Little Pnuts. On the outside of the box was written the above statement. I LOVE everything about this and it could not be any more true! PLAY is critical for kids to learn… this is how…
I’d love to say that I’m in the kitchen every week trying out new recipes and creating memories with my little ladies. However, trying new things and the kitchen, to me, aren’t one in the same. I’m NOT one to venture out too often. I love creating and making, but 1/2 the time it doesn’t…
Life is better with sparkle! That is a statement I stand firm on! There’s just something magical about things that sparkle. Being quite a crafty person, and shameless lover of glitter, every so often, I find the need to make an ordinary object sparkle and shine. This weekend, we are hosting a couple Christmas parties…
One of our favorite Christmas traditions is to give our kids a “Night Before Christmas” gift. It’s the one gift they get to open on Christmas Eve and they almost always include the same general items :: new pajamas (usually Christmas-y), some hot cocoa or a treat, and a new book. Very simple but it’s…
I shared with you about the Kinetic Sand Build, and now I wanted to share with you another item from Kinetic Sand from Spin Master…the Kinetic Sand Float. This one though, oh so cool because it’s oh so different! This set comes as a SET, which means all you need for a day of play…
I’m always looking for hands on things my kids can do in their free time. A bonus is things my girls can do with each other. Activities that encourage imagination and role play together are high, high, high on my list! We’ve used Kinetic Sand before, but I was recently introduced to Kinetic Sand Build…
