real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Spring is finally here! For those of you who had a long winter like I did, you’re probably spending as much time as possible outside now. For our family, spring and summer are the perfect time to entertain outside. We frequently will invite neighbors over for a backyard game night. We will get out a…
After a friend of mine had her fourth baby, I wanted to send some flowers. I looked online at my options and by the time service and delivery charges were added up, I was going to spend around $50 for what amounted to a rose and a few cheap carnations. But now that I’ve found…
Planning a birthday party can be a lot of fun, but sometimes bringing all the details together can be difficult. Sometimes you find different decorations that you like on their own, but added together with others just doesn’t work. Printastic Design, an Etsy shop that specializes in party décor, gives you coordinated party decorations for any…
This is basically the crack version of popcorn. It’s an addictive combinations of white chocolate, pretzels, popcorn, and m&m’s. I’ll explain the name in a moment. I make this all the time. I share the recipe even more often. I give it as a teacher or Christmas gift in a tin, it makes for a great party favor at…
A first birthday is a big celebration for a little one. So much happens in that first year that gives cause to celebrate the unique milestones in a baby’s life. I loved planning my little one’s birthday (more to come about that in a later post) and I was looking for a sign to showcase…
Earth Day is just two weeks away, and it’s such a good time to teach young ones about little ways they can make a difference in the world around them. I loved the opportunity when I used to teach first graders to get them excited about little things they could do to make a difference to someone….
I have coffee every single day. I never used to drink coffee as much as I do now, but I never used to have 3 kids either. It tastes so good to me. I’m terrible about eating breakfast, but I’m all about my morning cup of joe. I also have this weird happy feeling about using…
While I’m desperately waiting for it to be warm enough that I can open all my windows and allow the fabulous smells of Spring to fill my house, I’ve been searching for some fun ‘scent alternatives’. Of course it always leads me to candles because we love candles in our house. That warm soft, flickering…
From all our families to yours, we hope you have a blessed day! Happy Easter! He is Risen Indeed!!
All babies should be celebrated! It sometimes is tradition to have a baby shower for the first in the family, but I love the idea of having a celebration in anticipation of every child being born. Every baby is unique and special in their own way and moms need that special love from friends and family either before…
Mother’s Day is Approaching! When most people think about Mother’s Day as a holiday they think about small kids and adults giving gifts to their mom. After all, that’s what the holiday was traditionally supposed to be about. However, if you’re married to or living with a mom as a romantic partner, you might always…
Easter baskets are such a fun tradition for little ones every year. Our little guy will celebrate his first birthday soon, but because of the way Easter fell the past two years, this will be his second Easter! I remember being so excited last year (before he was a week old) to have an Easter…
