real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Christmas is quickly approaching and I’m getting more and more excited by the day! Just this past weekend we had a family party, and it was SO nice to see family that we once see about once a year. I think that is the best part about the holiday season! Well, that and the abundance…
Our little girl just turned one! I know everyone always says it, but I really can’t believe that it’s already been a year since we went out for a walk and my water broke, and we headed to the hospital to deliver our baby girl. A whole year of snuggles, giggles, and pure joy has…
A gift mom or dad will like and a little more practical is coming to you from SOL. SOL stands for sustained organic living! Everyone always needs something soft and fresh to slide into eachnight. At SOL, our mission is to take organic cotton mainstream. But it’s not only our mission—it’s our passion. To make…
It is no secret that we are fans of Family Game Night around here but I’ll let you in on a secret. You see, I can send my older kids to play a board game together during nap time for the little one and actually get things done around the house. Basically, the gift of…
I love traditions, as do my girls. My husband is warming up to the idea of yearly traditions. At first, he thought they were kind of silly, until he found some that were REALLY fun for us to do as a family. I am introducing a new one to my girls this Christmas season, and…
With the holiday season, comes a lot of running around. The running around can be quite long for little ones, so the idea of encouraging good behavior with a reward helps get through the tasks in a sane manor. At least, that’s how I’m rolling this holiday season! We have a DVD player in the…
I’m not super adventurous with how I wear my makeup day to day, but I’m always game to try new colors, brands, styles, etc. I’m okay with not showering before I drop do the school drop off and run to the gym, but you better believe I put some makeup on before we fly out the…
Tween girls. This can be a tricky age to buy for! Done with dolls, not quite into clothes (at least, not enough that they are excited to get them as a gift). I’ve shared with you my favorite brand for craft kits a few times before (here and here). What I love about Ann Williams…
Holidays are coming! From parties at school, to date nights with your honey, to Christmas parties at work and girlfriends nights out, it’s a busy time of year. Busy is practically an understatement these days! For me, this time of year I need predictability in all the chaos. And sometimes, that simply means predictable clothing that…
I love this time of year! We just got back home from a wonderful Thanksgiving week with family, and I am looking forward to all the exciting things that come in December! The Christmas season seems to fill up so quickly with parties, events, shopping, and more. This year, while I know things will be…
Last weekend my husband turned 39…so, naturally, we celebrated with some of our closest friends and went out to dinner. Leading up to the dinner reservation though was prep time with what I’d wear. I wanted to look classy and a bit dressy since we were going to a nice restaurant downtown. All that in…
Once October hits, we start thinking about our Christmas cards. Sure, might seem early to some, but I love to order the ones with our family pictures on them. And you know life, it gets busy and things always get in the way of our to-do lists…so the earlier the better. Besides, like everyone else,…
