real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
One of the most exciting things and one of the most challenging things about becoming a mom is nursing! It comes so naturally for some and can be a struggle for others. I am so thankful I’ve been able to nurse both my kids, and I love how it easy it is to feed my…
I have seen this brand around for a couple years now. It has always stuck out to me because, of course, I can’t pronounce it and the shoes are so fun. A great pair of quality shoes are a must for all kids. The stability and function should stand out when choosing their shoes. Tsukihoshi…

This summer, the color we have been liking is blue. Any shade of blue and we love it. Turquoise, royal, carribbean, navy, you name it, we need to have it. When it comes to my kids outfits, I am really into having the colors match. My kids have a hard time with it sometimes. Although, there…
Today on the radio I listened as our local commentators discussed the next few days of HOT weather we are expecting. It is supposed to be so HOT that they are calling for people to lookout for their neighbors (especially the elderly or infirm) and to make sure that you and your family stay well-hydrated….
Kabob {aka Shish Kabob, Kebab} :: small pieces of meat and/or vegetables cooked on a skewer; often grilled or barbecued Otherwise known as “DINNER IS DONE!” in my house!

When you have no choice but to bring the kids shopping, use Binxy Baby! I am sure you all know how chaotic it can be taking two or more kids into a store. Shopping with kids is a tiring task. Trying to get all the things you came in for, all while answering 50 millions questions and answering NO…
You all know by now that I’m pretty vigilant when it comes to sum protection. My dad and grandma both had skin cancer and, since I spent my teenage summers lifeguarding, I might be headed the same direction. But I’m taking measures for my children that I hope they will thank me for later…
I’d love to say we are in a GREAT routine this summer. That when we wake up every morning we have a game plan. Oh….that would be wonderful!! Instead, we have been flying, week by week, figuring out what we are going to do the day before it happens. Kids love that, but I’m sort…
Cars, trains, tractors, and trucks! These are a few of my little 2 year old’s favorite things. He loves nothing more than to be on a big piece of farm machinery with his dad or grandpa, and if I remember correctly he said the word tractor long before he said “momma.” That’s ok, he’s still…
Here we are –mid-summer -and all the grand lists and activities we had planned are piddling out. If you need something new and fresh to do with the kids, I highly suggest you dive into the Unofficial Minecraft Lab for Kids book. My 8 year old son and 6 year old daughter absolutely love to…
