real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Christmas is right around the corner. That means us ladies are going to have a lot to get done in the short time we have left! I have been checking out some great fashion pieces I can add to my wardrobe to spice things up a bit. Yet, I want something that I will still…
I love candles. This would not surprise you if you walked into almost any room in my house. There is just something about their warming ambiance and, of course, how lovely they make my house smell. And, during the holidays, I just can’t resist having those candles lit all the time! One of my favorite…
There are so many things to enjoy during the month of December. Being with family. The first snowfalls, sledding, and snowmen. Fires in the fireplace and warm cozy blankets. And, being the food enthusiast that I am, the seasonal food gets me every time too 🙂 Please, please get into the kitchen with your family…
This is my son’s first Christmas, so I want to make this holiday season extra special. While the Christmas tree, lights, decorations, food and atmosphere add to the “feel” of Christmas, the things that last are the memories we make and cherish the rest of our lives. After a fun afternoon of tromping through the…
My oldest son loves building things. He’d seen some k’nex toys at a friend’s house and had asked about getting some for Christmas. When this Typhoon Frenzy Roller Coaster set came in, his eyes bugged out and wanted to start on it right away. Because he’d never done one before (and because I love building…

When “Home Alone” first came out, I was smack-dab in the middle of their target market age. My brother and I laughed and laughed at all the wild and crazy antics and I remember my mom reminding us that we couldn’t recreate what we’d seen Kevin McCallister do. Fast forward twenty-something years and I’m watching…
As many of you know, I love wine almost as much as I love coffee. I have tried many varieties over the years and consider myself something of a connoisseur. I love sweet whites in the summer and rich reds in the winter. I love opening a bottle and inhaling the aroma of a freshly…
When you place a road on the wall, it is expected that the toddler boy will test it out by driving every toy vehicle he has on it. Or so I quickly learned! But who can blame him? These adorable wall stickers from Bright Star Kids just scream come play! And we had so much…
Wearhop.com is my newest “trick” shall we say, to making our clothing budget meet my quality standards. (Cute standards too!) Basically you are renting clothes and giving them back when your child outgrows them. If you happen to fall in love with an outfit, you simply buy it out instead of sending it back. I…
