real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
I never dreamed that we would not be back in school. I’m still in shock and awe. We live in California and our governor has not given the okay for schools to resume in person. The 2020-2021 school year has begun in a virtual format for every kid in our state. I don’t want to…
It’s back to school time. Where you live, how are they rolling out returning to school? Is it virtual or face to face or both? We just recently learned that we are doing all virtual for the first 3 weeks. While this is going to be tough for the whole family, we ultimately don’t have…
There’s some bittersweet feelings behind this post. When our new Lands’ End backpacks arrived, we were headed back to school on August 26th. Since then, we have 17 more Covid cases then our governor in California will allow for our schools to open. There’s still a few weeks for things to change, but my heart…
This was a new recipe we tried for our 4th of July gathering last year. It was such a delightful combination of berries, strawberry ice cream, and lemon curd that I decided to make it again. It’s refreshing and quite a delightful dessert. Our youngest named it Captain America Pie. I’ve never gone wrong with…
Here is a glimpse from this past weekend. Saturday’s are for rotting our brains on devices. I predict brain matter will start leaking out of their ears by lunch time. Only the cat is screen free, but judge him too for napping on the couch at 9:45 am. As we start another month with no…
I’m not typically one to do something because everyone else is, but I have to say I’m so glad we tried the birthday parade. My youngest turned 7 on Sunday and we surprised him by inviting our friends and family to a parade. My mom made the comment, “Wow, I have never had a parade…
As many of you are experiencing school closures state wide my family is experiencing it as well. In in state of South Carolina our state governor has canceled school through the end of April. However, at the end of the month I expect for him to cancel it for the remainder of the school year….
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and love is in the air. I know it’s just a fun holiday but I do love sharing the love with my family. Uncommon Goods is the perfect place to find those things that you need. I love giving gifts so I found a couple of gifts for…
Now, I know you can’t wait for all your kids Valentine’s parties this week at school. Are you a home made Valentine’s mom or a store bought? Either way is fun and it just dpeends on how far ahead you think about it. I was late to the game this year and well happy that…
Hi I’m Ginny, I’m not an artist and I don’t particularly like crafts. I have no business making my own cards, but I realized this weekend that we forgot to buy Valentine’s Day cards. We like to send cards to our cousins in Michigan and time was not on our side to get them in…
After all my orders for door hangers I had to find ideas with my leftover pieces of 1/4″ plywood. Thankfully tags are a huge hit right now, and I used my leftover pieces to create a DIY Merry Christmas Tag Door Hanger! This is a really simple DIY Merry Christmas Tag Door Hanger that anyone can…
Here’s a rare sighting of my husband on the blog. This man has had the same wallet for as long as I’ve known him. He says he replaced it with an identical wallet early in our marriage. We just celebrated our 15th anniversary in July so this steady and content man I’m married to has…
