real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Christmas is my favorite time of year! Twinkling lights, jolly music, gift giving and eating way too much sugar are all part of the fun of the holiday season. What makes this year even more special for me is that my son is old enough to appreciate family traditions. I want so badly for him to…
Last weekend, we took our little ladies to Chicago. We met up with friends and had an absolute blast! It was a quick 36 hour trip. We were leaving the baby home with my parents and I just didn’t want them to have her too long. After all, they are retired and are free as…
It wasn’t that long back that I shared some fun red and green themed crating items from our friends at eeBoo. You can view that review HERE. My girls really fell in love with eeBoo’s fun products and I just love how great the quality is! Well, we were lucky enough to try out some…
It’s that time of year. Time to get creative y’all!! I don’t know about you, but sometimes, my creativity is lacking. So, with that mind, I thought I’d share with you 5 ideas to get the ball rolling! I wouldn’t mind any of these below my tree this year!! Muk Luk Slippers from Kohl’s ::…
I haven’t had the time recently to go out and do much shopping. From the deadlines here on SIMPLE to the appointments and commitments in my life outside of my house right now, I haven’t had much time to breathe, let alone shop. That being said, I haven’t had time to get something new for…

“I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for OshKosh B’gosh. I received an OshKosh B’gosh gift card to purchase product and to thank me for my participation.” I don’t know about you, but shopping with kids can sure be quite an event! Especially in unpredictable stores. Most times, I go in…
My husband and I often comment to each other how absolutely lucky we are when it comes to putting our kids to bed. They have their routine and, besides the occasional “one last trip to the potty”, once they are in bed, they stay there until morning. Again, we completely understand how fortunate we are…
I’m not a modern-day scrooge at all, but I really don’t like a lot of presents under the tree. I much prefer to give a few special gifts than be overwhelmed by “stuff”. Each year I like to give my kids a book as one of their Christmas gifts. This year I have decided to…
Between December and January, we have 4 birthdays in our family. One of those falls on December 22nd. December birthdays are hard, y’all. We’ve talked about maybe celebrating half birthdays or celebrating a month after the actual day, but so far we’ve stuck with his actual birthday. Many people aren’t available to come to birthday…
Ok, can we be real here? Right now we are seeing a plethora of posts about what everyone’s Elf on the Shelf has been up to over night. Yes, there are those that are freakin’ over the top with their elf, (you know, like pooping peppermints and such) and there are those that simply move…
Today I had a very interesting conversation with my 7-year-old about how “Daisy at the gym said that Santa and the Tooth Fairy are just your parents giving you presents and money.” Knowing that the less I talk in these situations the more she will work it out on her own, I simply asked, “And…
