real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
After having my fourth child, I found there were a few items that I needed…no matter if I had to purchase smaller or larger. I just knew I needed them in my closet to wear at the drop of a hat. And today, I am sharing one of those with you. You will probably recognize…
My husband and I are complete opposites in some ways! This can sure make life interesting in some aspects, but it also gives balance to many areas of life. I won’t go into all the details now, but one of our biggest differences is our organizational systems. To say it simply, he organizes everything, in…
Having another baby and it being your 3rd and not having anything, sort of makes getting things easy because you can start fresh. Plus, you can get the things you need and pass up all the things you really are not going to use. It was much easier choosing things this time around because I…
Summer. Warm weather, relaxing by the pool with a book, sipping a nice cool drink. Sounds delightful, right? But we all know summer with a few kids underfoot isn’t always relaxing (unless, of course, you’ve planned a relaxing kid-free vacation)! But even though I might not be reading in a hammock, summer is still by…
Oh Target, what have you done? You couldn’t have honestly thought this through. Let me guess…some number cruncher or analyst suggested this? I mean, if you looked at your target demographic…your main shoppers, I’m guessing it’s middle aged MOTHERS! Not the people you are targeting to please in your latest media blow up. I’m looking…

Scrolling through Instagram, as I always do because it my favorite social media platform, I found Munchkin Lane. …
A few years back I decided that even though summer is the busy season at my husband’s job and vacations with all of us are not feasible, I was going to make sure my kids enjoyed some of the experiences only available during the summer months . “Mommy Road Trips” were born and now with…
Well, I don’t know about you, but isn’t it FABULOUS when you find comfy clothes that are fashionable? I mean….give it all to me! I love to look put together even when I don’t feel put together. When you are having a no goo, very bad horrible day at home when trying to get ready and roll…
Essential Oils….mention those two simple words and those around you will either high-five you (and dish on all their favorite ways to use them), roll their eyes (ugh, another fad!), or look at you like you just spoke some ancient language that no one understands. At least those are the three reactions I have gotten over…
My kids do a lot of crazy things in their bed at night. My favorite is when I find them with one arm out of their pajamas. How does that even happen? My least favorite is when they would take off their diaper. Thankfully that didn’t happen often, but once was enough! Escapeejays are escape…
I’ve mentioned before my love of Chicago. It’s a great city, on the water, and a fairly easy drive for a lot of people! We love hitting up museums and zoos, shopping and enjoying great culture. And we also love getting out of downtown for a bit and just having fun! And that’s what Medieval…
Did you like that play on words? I thought you would, and don’t worry, I’ll be here all day, folks. Ha! Well, apparently I have my cheesy hat on today for this post, but that’s ok, because it’s fitting. I am sharing with you a fun new release to DVD, Norm of the North. This…
