real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Ok, SIMPLE moms and dads, it’s time for a little confessional here. I have no idea when the smoke detectors in our house received new batteries! Absolutely no idea. I can take a guess…they are somewhere between 2 (when we moved in) and 28 years old (when our house was built). Yikes! We just never think…
I could just stare at my sweet little boy all day long. The way his eyes light up at the sight of a new book or how his agile fingers lovingly/gingerly turn the pages to a new discovery, it’s those little moments… those little things matter so much to this mama heart of mine! The way…
Spring is one of the most amazing times of the year, although I really do enjoy living in a place that allows me to enjoy all 4 seasons. Yes, even winter! After a long winter though it is so exciting to feel some warm weather, see the tulips start to bloom, and just see new…
When you are an experienced parent you will inevitably get the “What do you recommend?” or “What products couldn’t you live without?” question from your friends and family who are about to become first time parents. It doesn’t matter if your ‘experienced parent’ status was achieved 5 weeks or 5 years ago, as long as…
I remember getting advice shortly after having my son about thinking about what you are wearing when you are going to be out for the day if you plan to nurse. I also remember hearing a story from a friend about her first time out to church for the morning with her new baby. She…
While it’s technically sunny out (for the first time in a long time), it’s still so cold and there’s no chance of the snow melting anytime soon. I’m going to go ahead and say that March is coming in like a lion. A lion that went ahead and started way back in November and hasn’t…
The first post, yesterday, has had an update. This family NEEDS a miracle. For those that are following along and wishing them well, praying for them, I wanted to update you. Since I posted yesterday, there have been two updates to Caitlin’s Care Page. In order to read these yourself, you have to have an…
I have a slight (read: not so slight) fascination with paper. I like all the different types of paper, weights of paper, feels of paper, finishes of paper. I’m also a sucker for a good notebook. A nice, sturdy cover with good, heavy paper? And personalize it, too? I’m so in. My kids certainly take…
My husband’s job used to require him to wear a tie every day to work. He no longer wears one every day, but it’s still nice to get a new tie for the occasion he needs one. Beau Ties Ltd. is a company from Vermont that makes handcrafted ties. They carry a variety of styles and…
One of the biggest blessings that has come to me though this blog is the ability to spread the word. Most times it’s about fabulous items, products, fun times, media events, and the such. But every now and then, we have information about a cause. What a phenomenal opportunity to be able to quickly spread…

I remember my first manicure. Sitting in the chair, soaking my hands and picking out my color. Not that long ago, that’s all it really was. It was fun, but something I felt that I could pretty much do myself. Now there are so many choices of color, style and fancy design. No way could…
