real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Recently I had a few friends pop up on social media asking for kid-free getaway tips and destination recommendations. Kid-free trips are not a new experience in our household as the first one occurred 9 years ago when our oldest was around 5 months old. I’ve learned a lot about making these trips a success…
This post is part of a sponsored campaign for Jungle Jim – A Musical Wildlife Adventure. I received compensation for my participation, but my review and opinions are my own. Want a fun, new way to help your kids learn about animals? An African safari? A desert camel ride? Did I grab your attention? Maybe this…
We now have a a 14 month old that is cutting three top teeth at once. How did teething go for you with your little ones? Was it something you could make it through easily or did your little one have some trouble going through this phase? So far, Miss C has been doing really…
I have always struggled with my skin being far from flawless. In my teens I had acne, in my 20’s I started getting skin cancer, and in my 30’s I’m adding wrinkles to my list of skin grievances. I’m always looking for products to that work well with hiding my imperfections. A couple of months…
We all love having some super simple, well-liked recipes in our nightly dinner repertoire. If 4 out of the 5 in my family like a recipe, it’s a keeper for sure. And this is one that 4 of us like as is and my youngest likes with just a little tweak. So it’s a big…
We all know that eating junk food is easy, but I am always looking for ways to make eating healthy easy too. I love this delicious salad because it is both healthy AND easy! It takes only a few minutes to put it together, and it filled my husband up. That is saying something, because…
I’ve recently started an organization challenge! Each week I’ve been tackling one room in the house and cleaning and organizing it completely. In some rooms, like the dining room, this has required nothing more than sorting through drawers and getting rid of things, while other rooms I’ve created completely new systems and added new storage solutions. …
Kids learn in different ways at different times! Something that I am quickly learning as my children are growing! My oldest son is extremely conscientious and takes school very seriously! While, my second son is much more creative and playful. I used to worry about him as his academic growth was so different from his…
When my two oldest girls both turned one I went all out. Rented a room, got platters of food and a giant sheet cake, invited 50 of our closest family and friends… It. Was. Exhausting. I’m halfway convinced that Birthday Party PTSD is a real thing (okay, probably not, but c’mon it should be!) and…
As you already know, I am loving on these small shops I have been working with. This next shop I am sharing with you is called Everett Avenue. I, first of all, just love the name and love the detail of it on the tags she puts on the clothes. To me, there is nothing…
I have been on the lookout for a new sectional couch for our living room for the past few years. Yes, I said years! We’ve actually never purchased a couch for ourselves. Our couch we were replacing was a hand me down gift when we got married. It was an oh-so-very-comfortable wrap around tan couch, but it…
Before kids, Valentine’s Day was a bit more romantic. Plans made well in advance, thoughtful gifts, gourmet dinner. Now? Well, we do still try to do a little something for Valentine’s Day, but with three kids, busy babysitters and work in the morning, we are all about a family night–but we try to make it…
