real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
LeapFrog. When you hear this name, you either think of the childhood game you played or you think of the brand, LeapFrog. For me, it’s the latter. I am up to my knees in kid mode and always searching for the new and fun item that my kids will soon be asking me for. I…
I can’t say I like having the title “fashion blogger”. After all, if you could see me most days, “fashion” is the last thing you would think. I’m a busy mom of 4 young ladies and sometimes, making them look cute is the priority over myself. Yet, I LOVE sharing fashions for the “real mom”….
My oldest daughter is an extremely picky eater. She has an especially limited spectrum when it comes to school lunches. Every month we sit down and look at the lunch calendar and circle the days when they are offering something that she likes. Usually there are only 2 or 3. Most other days she will…
Since we homeschool, a lot of back to school necessities aren’t necessary for us. But one thing that I do think is really important it to remind my kids how to stay healthy. Even though we homeschool, we do spend one day a week learning with other homeschool families so I made a little print…
The first time I heard that schools were handing out iPads to high school students, my jaw hit the floor! Are these schools mad? They are letting these kids take these iPads home? Don’t they realize they’ll be destroyed in less than a week? Well, apparently these schools knew a thing or two about what…
First of all, I seriously can’t believe we are talking Back to School already. I thought it was just yesterday that we were getting my little ones off the bus celebrating the fact that we had arrived at summer break!! On to the fun of doing totally awesome things every day! Alas…here we are. Some…
The other day I caught my daughter walking around in her winter boots. These ones to be exact. We love Keen in this house! You know winter is coming and your kids are going to need some shoes/boots for school. With Back to school in full effect, I wanted to share with you the Punky…
My oldest love facts, especially science facts. He might not always completely understand said fact, but he knows the basics about tons of things. In a few years, he’s going to be one of those people you hate to play against in Trivial Pursuit! I assumed that even though he’s almost 10, he’d enjoy…
I don’t know about your kids, but mine love to get mail and little notes. (That’s why we started our Family Mail system)! But sometimes I just need something quick so I created a few little notes that you can print out and have ready for those last minute moments. Just slip into their backpack…
With just over 3 weeks until my kids head back to school, we are in full-on Back To School shopping! I’ve sorted through the supply lists sent home by the teachers and made my lists — Items to Buy and Items to Reuse. See, in our house, school supplies (especially backpacks and lunch boxes) get…
I’ve got your back, Mom! When it’s the first day of school you feel lucky if you have an extra 3 seconds to snap a photo before you rush to get your crew to school on time. Here are some FREE printable #BackToSchool signs you can have ready in a flash. While I suggest you have them printed the night…
It’s Back to School time and I’m talking fashion with my favorite kid’s clothing subscription service! Fab Kids – that’s right!! I was able to check out two outfits this month to feature on our blog. So gracious of them, and so thankful too because we love them!! As soon as the black and white…
