real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Our latest room renovation in our old farmhouse is our little girl’s room! I love how it turned out and more than anything I love that we have a place for her things now! Sharing with her brother was working out just fine, but because I knew eventually she’d have her own space, I hadn’t…
Meal planning is important to me! I like to know what we are having throughout the week! Some weeks look better than others, but with a new year comes a new resolve to plan well and healthy for my family. I looked through some old recipes and found some new ones as I planned out…
We have recently started supporting small shops. Remember when I told you about Shop Small Saturday? We have been supporting them prior to that but is this something that you do? What I am finding with small shops is that they have great quality products, they care about their customers and you are not only…
It is no secret that my family loves to visit our nearest National Parks and Lakeshore. I shared last year about the National Park Service (NPS) centennial and am glad to follow the NPS social media accounts to stay informed about important things like Free Entrance Days. Right now I even have an old college…
I don’t know about you, but I love getting surprises in the mail. I don’t necessarily love surprises in real life, but packages in the mail are RIGHT up my alley! I think that’s pretty true with a lot of people, given the amount of subscription boxes available in the marketplace. However, the one that…
When it’s cold and snowy outside and the kids are driving you nuts, what do you do? I try to find things for them to do and wear them out. This is one thing I struggle with when winter hits. Sometimes, it’s just too darn cold to send them outside to play in the snow….
I love starting my day with a smoothie. I throw in greens, avocado, fruit, green juice, water, chia seeds and I’m good to go for the morning. Full of vitamins, protein and healthy fats. While I love starting my day this way, one thing I don’t love is that my smoothies start to separate if…
It’s a new year, and I’m starting it off right with all of my laundry caught up! It’s been that way since right before Christmas, and I’m doing my best to keep it that way. I have shared some of my ideas on here before, and since it’s a battle I’m always facing, I thought…
WOW, it’s hard to believe today starts a NEW year. Excited to see what 2017 has in store for us all. We want to wish you the very best this year and hope to continue to make you smile with what we share about our lives, here on the blog! Thank you for being with…
All of my kids started getting teeth later then normal. With my last one, she got her first 2 teeth at 10 months old. Now, I did feel like she was teething or something since she was like a month old. She would drool and drool like you wouldn’t believe. Wearing a bib was a…
Sometimes, I feel like my littlest one is a doll. We play dress up and she gets to wear the trendyist of clothes and shoes. It’s super fun for me and I am sure she just loves it too. I think I am creating a fashion monster as we speak. That’s okay though, because that…
How do children move from having stellar self-esteem when they are in kindergarten to having much weaker confidence levels by the time they graduate high school? Well, there are a lot of factors at play during this change, and the biggest one likely is outside influence. Because of that, it’s important that parents work hard…
