real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
It is that time of year when the “When do you start back at school?” question is heard more frequently than not from your friends and family. With a couple weeks left until Labor Day I’m going to try to squeeze every drop of fun that I can out of these last few days of…
I wanted to share a super easy desert that I love to make during the summer. It is so yummy. Enjoy! Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle 1 angel food cake – I used the Arnie’s one that’s already made 1 8oz block of cream cheese 1 tub of cool whip 1 cup of sugar Fresh strawberries…
My kids have always been pretty sensitive to certain wipes and diapers. Are your children the same way? Finding products that are not going to cause a rash or any other problems, sometimes feels like they are few and far between. I know a lot of families rely and trust the top name brands when…
Summer may be winding down, but did you know that you should protect your skin with sunscreen all year round? I’m a broken record on this topic, but I had melanoma skin cancer in 2013 and sunscreen is now part of my daily life – 365 days a year. I like to wear NO-AD sunscreen…
I can’t believe we’re already heading into a new school year! If you’re anything like me, you’re starting to take inventory of the closets in your house. The older I get, the more I love the “less is more” closet code. Find a few high quality (but still budget-friendly) pieces that can be worn multiple…
I told myself this year I would always have a bag ready for when we wanted to take a quick trip to a local beach, park or pool. I was actually able to put this together easily with Go Organically. They sent us a goodie bag full of exciting products to share. If you haven’t…
Summer has been so much fun this year! We have had some of the most beautiful weather. Days haven’t been too hot and nights have been cool! We’ve taken a few little trips, but mostly have been spending time with friends and family in backyards, around campfires, and at the water. We are always looking…
Our family was very excited to check out this new show. It’s been our tradition for years to go to the circus right before school starts. It’s a fun way to round out our summer activities. The circus closed so we were looking for a new family event. Our oldest two children turn 10 and…
If you are like me, I just found out two days ago that a solar eclipse is coming. On the 21st. Yes, I’m behind. Since I just found out, getting glasses to protect my little ones’ eyes was my immediate concern. But, the options on Amazon are next to none. And, what’s available, I don’t even…
Before I became a mom, I had grandiose ideas of all the ways I would rock out motherhood. Those big dreams included, lots of Pinterest-worthy craft time where my kids would surround me with adoring looks, listening ears, hands that waited patiently for instruction and lots of peace and order. The first time I busted…
About a year ago I was grocery shopping with the kids and we came out in the dark during freezing rainstorm to find a dead battery in the van. Now, parking lots are difficult enough to get someone to jump your car at night but oddly enough the people across from us were also having…
Kids seem to go through phases of toys and shows that they are interested in. One phase I think many kids go through is a Thomas phase! Our little guy is in this now and absolutely loves all things Thomas! We celebrated his third birthday with a Thomas theme, he loves all things trains, and…
