real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
We just moved. It’s insanity over here, seriously. Ok, we didn’t JUST move, but we moved about 3 weeks ago. So, close enough. With moving comes the purging…or the non-purging of some areas. You see, I wanted to get things all organized BEFORE the move, but I ran out of time. I had to get quite…
Summer is in full swing at our house with our big vacation behind us and lots more fun stuff planned for the months ahead! I love so many summer traditions including bonfires, camping, pool days, beach days, and grilling in the backyard. As soon as it’s warm enough (or even a little before) we start…
I have a three-year-old. A very strong- willed three-year-old. And the twice daily toothbrushing routine was a struggle. Struggle isn’t a strong enough word, really. It was a battle. One I honestly dreaded. It got a bit better as he got older, but it was still a huge struggle too get him to open his…

Happy 2nd day of summer! We’ve got some hot temps hitting the Bay Area this week and we are ready to spend some lazy days at the pool. Edge Brand is adding to our pool fun with the 3D muscle flotation vest. My kids like to pretend they are American ninja warriors when they are scaling…
Every summer I face the same dilemma. Either use a sunscreen that works but contains yucky, impossible to pronounce, cancer-causing ingredients. Or use something natural but leave my skin (and my kids skin) under-protected and suffer the consequences of sunburn. Generally I just find something in between and go with it, figuring I did the best…
With summer upon us across the country, I’m finding my mind keeps going towards WHAT I’m going to do with the little ladies when they’re home. I am not one that believes I need to entertain my kids all hours of the day. I love having them use their God-given little brains to figure it…
I know when we get together with family, there will be no shortage of great food and awesome new recipes to add to my list of favorites! We’ve been traveling and enjoying lots of good times with family as we celebrate graduations, Father’s Day, and just time together as a family! I am so excited…
