real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
With a ten-year-old daughter and two sons, ages eight and three, there aren’t a whole lot of television shows that appeal to all of my kids. Thankfully Wild Kratts is the exception to that rule. It is quite possibly the only show that each of my kids love. And I love that it’s both entertaining…
How many times have you run out of milk, and contemplated where to go to get more? Many of the bath items get used up before I know we were even low on. Milk and cereal, yah, that. Last minute snacks when you are running around and want something a little more than a cheeseburger than…
With our two babies so young, date nights out right now seem to be few and far between. We are happy with that and enjoying this phase of life. I am trying to be intentional, though, as we plan time together and with the craziness of all areas of life, a date night at home…
Two major things I’m going to share with you today. One is a love for a brand I’ve shared before. Another is a love of an outfit from a brand I’ve shared before. Starting off on a bit of a tongue twister, aren’t we. Ha! I’ve had my caffeine, so let’s get on with it….
What inspires your little ones style? Is it a specific color? A favorite item? Or some special hair pretties? Girls start putting together their own style at a young age, although it may change over the years. I know my daughter just loves to have her own style, I provide the clothes, she puts them…
I can’t claim any Hispanic heritage, but there is a heavy Hispanic population where I live. My neighbors actually had a LIVE Mariachi band in their backyard one night! It was a bit random for a girl who grew up in the Midwest, but we loved it! HERE is a video. We shamelessly enjoyed the party…
Last week I shared with some tips for taking a successful road trip with your kids. This was inspired by a short trip I had just taken with my kids that actually took us past some places we had just traveled to last year when my baby was only 3 months old. While traveling down…
I know, I know. Life is totally busy. If you are anything like me, I have thought about gifts for about two weeks, YET I still haven’t pulled the trigger on what I want to purchase for the mothers in our life. So, as I do, I have put together a post of some great Mother’s Day…
I love summer and warm weather. I might love the process of getting all the warm weather clothes out, just as much. Each time I pull out some clothes the girls have worn, or some sandals I wore as we were tromping through the sand to get to the beach, I smile. We make massive…
We’re in an interesting phase in our lives {my family}. In the past three weeks I’ve registered my oldest child for Middle School next year and registered my youngest for Kindergarten! Come this fall, all three of my kids will be in school all day and we’ll be navigating the ever-changing waters of Middle School….
I threw the easiest baby shower last week. It was such an enjoyable experience from the planning side of things. While I’m all about pinning and throwing the most amazing shower (you know, the ones where Pinterest threw up everywhere –hehehe), I had a really busy month. Minted.com came to my rescue. They have a whole section of Party…
It’s no secret I’m a huge fan of the amazing city of Chicago. So when my family headed that way for a few days over spring break, I knew we needed to go back to my favorite downtown attractions–the Shedd Aquarium. Since the Shedd has so many options for everyone in the family, we had…
