real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
It happens every. single. year. Summer flies by and I wonder how we’re already getting ready to head back to school. It’s met with sadness (at least for me)–an end to sleeping in, lazy days at the pool, and, since I’m a Michigan mom–sunshine! My kids are generally full of mixed emotions and I do…

I have a sweet tooth! I wish that I didn’t crave sweets as much as I do, but I really enjoy chocolate, caramel, baked goods, and just about every other sweet thing out there! My husband is the same way, so our house often has goodies around. I love finding new monthly subscription boxes, and…

Are you on the search for a very reliable car that has great power and quality built into it? The 2016 Kia Optima is quite possibly one of the best cars I have driven. It really put me back into memories of one of my old cars that I just loved. The Kia Optima is…
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…

As we flipped the calendar this week into August the Back to School bug started to make itself known in my house. I homeschool our two oldest kiddos, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t also both look forward to and dread the Back to School schedule that is quickly approaching. Thankfully my friends at…
We are getting to the point in our summer vacation where some days seem to drag on…and I begin hearing, “I’m bored”. Ugh, really? I can’t stand hearing those words as I look around the house at the chores that could be done, the to-do list that could be conquered, the laundry that could be…
As a family of five, it can be quite difficult to head to the theater for a family movie night. We still try to take the kids once or twice throughout the year but the cost quickly adds up — tickets, popcorn, drinks….and then there’s the whole issue of missing part of the movie because…
