real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
This post is part of a sponsored campaign for The Sugar Goblin. I received compensation for my participation, but my review and opinions are my own. With Halloween on everyone’s mind now that October has hit, I’m sure you are just like me when thinking about what you are going to do with all the…
Halloween is just around the corner and we’re finally getting around to prepping for the big day. While the kids are still trying to make their final costume decisions, I’m getting started on ordering other Halloween accessories and was so thrilled to find customized treat bags at Personalization Mall. I was looking for something that would…
It’s officially October. What the WHAT!! Now that we are officially in the dress up month, my girls can’t be more excited. I mean, we have been looking at the Chasing Fireflies catalog for the last few months as they get sent to us, in addition to online. I think my girls had their costumes…
Disclosure: This post was sponsored by Kmart through their partnership with POPSUGAR Select. While I was compensated to write a post about Kmart’s back-to-school apparel collections, all opinions are my own. I can’t believe I’m writing this. It’s back-to-school time…and my girls are in the thick of thinking about it! Whether it’s the cashier at…
With a full week of school under our belts for the year, I feel like we’re definitely finding our groove. Sure, the kids are a bit more tired and, consequently, a bit more cranky or whiny, but that will all come with time (and earlier bedtimes). But one of our biggest hurdles this week was…
We are in the middle of Mickey adoration mode. I would say that is in my 4-yer old’s top 3 things to watch. Imagine her excitement when a little package with a very magical DVD showed up on our door steps last week. We received an advance copy of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey’s Monster Musical!…
My kids officially start school next week. And while I’m never ready to be done with the lazy days of summer, we are ready for school. School supplies organized. New clothes purchased. Lunch ideas at the ready (though, admittedly, a few weeks in to the school year, I tend to forego all original thought and…
It seems like every few years, we need to update backpacks. In preschool, a small backpack could carry a change of clothes and the few papers that would come to and from school. By elementary school, a larger backpack is needed to carry a lunch box, snack bag, gym shoes, folders and a book or…
In just a couple short weeks my little ladies are going to be wandering the halls of their school, and I won’t see them for too many hours. Ahh!! How is this happening already!! We are making the best of it though with the idea of new clothes and accessories brightening our day. We always…
Last year I packed approximately 360 school lunches (that’s 180 days of lunches for 2 girls). Not that I’m complaining. Packing lunches each morning was a pretty easy task, especially knowing that my girls were getting a nutritious lunch with foods I knew they’d actually eat. But those last few weeks? Yeah, I was ready…
Raise your hand if you love shopping for back-to-school clothes for your kids. I, for one, prefer to avoid the mall and specialty shops at all cost this time of year–especially with my young children in tow. The crowds! The decisions! The hunt for the right size! The toddler demanding snacks and hiding in the…
