real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Every year it comes. And every year is is done as quickly as it has come. I’m talking about Halloween. There is so much hype leading up to this day. When I first had kids, I thought I wouldn’t dress the kids up, I thought I wouldn’t even acknowledge the day. Fast forward 8 years,…

I recall when I was growing up, I had a go-to doll that always went with me. Everywhere I went…she was there. She had long, straight brown hair, just like I did. Sometimes I would braid the pigtails and other times I would leave them straight. Oh the memories I created with this little honey!…
Whenever I ask my little guy if he is ready to go “night-night’ I always get an emphatic “NO!” I’m sure if he could say more than one or two words he would tell me,”I’m not tired, Mama” while at the same time rubbing his eyes and yawning loudly. If this sounds like your child,…
The words “cuddle” and “baby” just go together. You can’t have “baby” without the other. So, when you find an item called “cuddle bear”, you just have to check it out! I was sent a Little Cuddle Bear from Elks & Angels, and cuddle we did! My 5-year old is a big cuddler, so once…
I went through many sleepless nights the past few weeks, so when I stumbled across this quote the other day, it became my mantra! It meant so much to this mommy heart of mine… I had to share it with you!
We are in full on school mode here. Getting up at the crack of dawn to rush and get ready, you know, everything we didn’t get done the night before? Finishing touches on lunches, backpacks packed, teeth brushed, outfits picked out. And hair…oh the hair! Having a house full of little ladies, hair is something…
Kids lose stuff. It is inevitable. It is only week two back at school here in our neck of the woods, and we are already down two items. Honestly, what would schools do without that giant folding table laid out end to end with lost things at the end of the year? (Answer: have a…
#Honor911 Why do we commemorate 9/11? For me, it’s how I preserve the memory of those who were killed, I want to honor the many brave men and women that sacrificed their lives whether they were in the building at work or first responders, and I am so proud to be an American and associated with the…
When I was a young girl, I had a doll I loved. I toted her along with me everywhere. My mom had ordered her from an 800 number and it became a treasure for us both. Not only was she a gorgeous doll, she was filled with memories. Memories that I still have to this…
Can you believe it? Another summer vacation has come and gone! With the kiddos back in school, I’m sure there are many sighs of relief mingled with a few tears as we watch our little ones go on to the next grade. I may not have a child in school yet, but this mama heart…
“Ball” (pause)… “Ball!!” (short pause)… “BALLLLLLL!!!!!!!” “Yes baby, I see the ball.” I can not even begin to tell you the excitement my son had when I opened the Yubo Lunch Box and My Love for Sports Thermos from Spark & Spark. If it isn’t already apparent, at least 2 of the people in our…
