real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
When summer rolls around my family takes every chance we can to get out and enjoy ourselves. Whether it be a trip to the lake, exploring a new city, playing with friends, or just doing a marathon of errands so that our other days are free, you will rarely find us sitting at home. Of…
To all those who have witnessed utter chaos in the middle of the store, here is a peek into the head of one mom… To all those who have BEEN that mom, here’s to you too! I am that mom in the middle of the store with a screaming child, please don’t judge me or give me…
Is there anything sweeter than those ripe red strawberries? They are one of our absolute favorite parts about summer! Straight from the vine or served any number of ways, they are just delicious! We’re very fortunate to have some really great “U-Pick” strawberry farms in our area and I’m even more fortunate that my kids…
I love a cold drink in the summer. In fact, I start every day with a smoothie, have an iced coffee every afternoon and usually finish off dinner with another cold treat. So I thought I’d share a few of those recipes with you. Even in the summer when so many amazing fruits and veggies…
I hope you are having a beautiful and safe holiday weekend as we celebrate the birthday of our great nation! Are you a tiny bit curious why you would have “the talk” with your kids this weekend? Kristen Bell is here to help us on this topic. Ok, that was one of the funniest videos…
Have you been looking for some great little dresses your girls can wear this summer? I always like to have a couple dresses for spring and summer for each. While searching the net, as I always do to find something I need, I came across a fun and unique shop called Noko Baby. And little…
Are you enjoying your summer inside or outside? Or both? We tend to do both because it gets pretty hot and you know those of us that live in Michigan when it’s 90 we are dying, am I right? Getting the kids to play outside these days is difficult with all this technology around. They…
A couple weeks back I got a surprise package in the mail from my friends at General Mills. At first I was confused because it was for cereal… and pizza. Yeah. Not exactly two things that you think of going well together, but the recipes they had sent me (with some pretty amazing looking photos)…
It’s been one week out of school and I’m seeing all across social media how kids are already talking about how they are bored…and parents are frustrated that their kids can’t figure out something to do. So, with that in mind, I wanted to share with you all some fun games you can pick up quite…
I’m really fortunate that my kids all enjoy reading. We never seem to have trouble getting them to do their required reading during the school year. But then Summer rolls around. And my once avid little readers find themselves just too busy to read 😉 After all, we have sandcastles to build and adventures to…
Let’s just be real. I’m keeping kids alive each day, not plants. There just isn’t time for both. 🙂 However, I love a pretty yard. I have a YARD HACK I will call it. My yard looks like I care thanks to Commercial Silk. I have reviewed their products before and over a year later my…
When I think of the perfect time to play inside, winter immediately comes to mind. Living in Michigan, we do a lot inside in the winter. But on a very hot day last week, I took my kids and my niece to Rebounderz and I’ve now decided that summer is the best time to go!…
