real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Meal planning can always be a little tricky for me. I have been planning my weekly meals out much better, but there still comes a night here and there, where what I planned doesn’t sound good or just doesn’t work out like I thought it would. Freezer meals are something I’ve always loved to have as backups to…
Pumpkins, sweaters, bonfires, jeans, and boots! Just a few of my favorite things about fall. It actually has started to feel like fall here where we live, and I am loving every second of it! The leaves are just starting to turn colors and mornings and nights are crisp and cool! I love the foods…
Gardening has become one of my favorite things to do. I enjoy spending a little time out each day, especially this time of year where the focus is on harvest! This year we expanded our garden even more, and learned some new things again! This year our weeds were out of control, but somehow almost all of our…
I have always loved back to school time! I enjoyed school as a kid, and I just love the change from the fun and freedom of summer back to regular days and schedules! Change is always good, and as much as I love summer and all the fun it brings, it’s good to get back…
I’ll be the first to admit that, while I love the fresh fruits and vegetables in summer, it’s also a season of indulgence–specifically frozen desserts, BBQ snacks and front porch drinks. I was feeling less than ideal and decided to do an overhaul of my nutrition by completing my first Whole30. For those of you…
Baby steps. Sometimes the path to clean eating comes in baby steps. For my family, we are trying to clean things up little by little. We’ve read a lot of those articles out lately “What happens to your body when you eat sugar” or “Why cane sugar is the better choice” or “The health benefits…
Spring and summer bring light and sweet fare to the table while fall and winter invite rich indulgences. Taking in the seasonal cuisine in your area can be a joy, but as a mom, you’re likely concerned about ensuring your kids are still getting all the nutrients they need, too. How do you create meals…
In a couple weeks we are getting ready to celebrate our ten year anniversary! Whenever you look back on something, it’s amazing to think about all that has happened over time. I have specifically been looking through things from the time around our wedding as I’m putting together a little gift for my husband. I’ve come…
I love a cold drink in the summer. In fact, I start every day with a smoothie, have an iced coffee every afternoon and usually finish off dinner with another cold treat. So I thought I’d share a few of those recipes with you. Even in the summer when so many amazing fruits and veggies…
Summer is in full swing at our house with our big vacation behind us and lots more fun stuff planned for the months ahead! I love so many summer traditions including bonfires, camping, pool days, beach days, and grilling in the backyard. As soon as it’s warm enough (or even a little before) we start…
I know when we get together with family, there will be no shortage of great food and awesome new recipes to add to my list of favorites! We’ve been traveling and enjoying lots of good times with family as we celebrate graduations, Father’s Day, and just time together as a family! I am so excited…
Summer is here and that means fresh produce at Farmer’s Markets, grocery stores, and soon right out of our garden! I love all the fresh recipe ideas and the easy to grab fruits and veggies for snacks for me and my family. This year we took time to plan out our garden a little better…
