real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
I try and be very strategic when it comes to adding things to my closet. I don’t have a ton of room, but always enough room to add some essentials…if you know what I mean. I mean, we just make it work! However, I do like to work with items that can be worn often…
One of the things that we have limited during the school year compared to summer is “screen time.” Do you limit this at your house? We have limited it to they can only use it on the weekends and not during the school week. There was a lot of resistance in the beginning but we…
Now that fall is here, we are excited to leave the summer heat behind and enjoy all that fall has to offer. Whether it’s going apple picking, playing a pick-up football game or making an annual trip to the pumpkin patch, these fun activities can sometimes lead to hard-to-get-out stains. Fortunately, all® Free Clear OXI is…
Remember how much I love notebooks, paper, pens, office supplies in general? Well, I love-love-love it all. It’s a big bonus if it can be personalized! Earlier this year I wrote a review for Gotcha Covered notebooks. Now they’re turning ONE and have a surprise for you, SIMPLE readers! I love a lot of things…
When you live in a small, rural Southern town, finding Indian food isn’t always very easy. So over the past few years, I’ve toyed around with various recipes and techniques to create our favorite sauces and dishes. But, in my opinion, no Indian meal is complete with out rice. And not just any rice. Finding…
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Gerber. The opinions and text are all mine. I’ve always been praised at how well my girls eat. I’ve been looked at so funny at restaurants when my girls order vegetables instead of fries…and they gobble them all down. Faster than most kids eat…
You’ve probably seen this already all over social media and any other fashion/style blogs you follow. But, fur is in. And I think it’s totally fun! A fun twist on an outfit, and I was up for the challenge. I looked through my closets and realized I still had my fur vest from about 10…
Do your kids have a movie that they can’t wait to be released to DVD? Well, we sure did this year. The girls have a lot of favorite movies, but Inside Out was the one they kept asking about. We actually went and saw this one in theaters. We don’t do that too often, so…
About a year ago, I walked into a quaint little store in Angola, Indiana while on a girls’ weekend. It was there that I first saw the Charles Viancin collection and instantly fell in love. Their “inspired by nature” theme drew my eye right away, from their flowery silicone lids to their decadent aprons. Their…
Is anyone else a bit shocked that we are officially into our first week of November? What?!?! Seriously, how did that happen? If your house is anything like ours, then you know that as soon as the kids come back from trick-or-treating, the holidays feel like they start immediately! Every year, I tell myself that…
Last year we welcomed Chubby to our family. He affectionately got his name because of his cheeks. I had been wanting to do the elf thing with the kids for a few years, but I couldn’t get over the price tag. We got the plushee more affordable version (instead of the traditional bendable elf) and Chubby…
My poor daughter has a horribly sensitive scalp. While I love nothing more than having my hair brushed, she can’t handle it. Her hair tangles so easily and getting those tangles tamed has proved extremely challenging. Brushing it when dry is awful, but brushing it when it’s wet is even worse. To say The Knot…
