real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
My favorite memories of when I was a child is when we made holiday cookies and decorated them. We did it every year and I loved it. I want to continue this tradition with my children. With Walkers shortbread cookies, I was able to quickly add in a cookie decorating day in the midst of…
Not a day goes by that I’m not listening to music. My tastes and preferences are wide and vary from day to day, but nearly all of my day is orchestrated with music. I’ve always been this way. Growing up in the countryside of Northern Michigan, most of my childhood and teen years were orchestrated…
I can not tell you the number of times my 2 year old son has come tromping through the house wearing his daddy’s size 11 shoes. He thinks he is SOOOO cool … he wants to be just like his daddy! Watching my little guy mimic my big guy, I can’t help but smile. His…
When you are pregnant or nursing, good nutrition is always on the mind. But so are those cravings for chocolate, salty snacks or some other crazy thing! After I had my son, I began nursing and things went pretty well. I wish I had known then about Milkin’ Cookies. I was concerned about my milk…

Last week I shared a healthier “cookie” recipe–one I felt was a bit virtuous after indulging in way too much pumpkin pie over Thanksgiving weekend. Well, this week, I’m sharing one on the other end of the spectrum. Nothing virtuous about it. But, I have to tell you, it. is. delicious. Definitely worthy of taking…
Interesting fact: I have teeny tiny ears. Like little bitty. And finding earbuds that fit my tiny ears is incredibly difficult. There are lots of ear buds that have different sized ear piece tips but most of them are small, medium, and large. With SonicFuel headphones, there is an extra-small pair! They also have different…
I am a big eBay shopper. Since adding our newest addition to the family, I find that my time to go in the stores and wander around until I find what I’m looking for, is non existent. I just don’t have the time or energy any more. I have relied on many online site, one…
Remember last week when I started sharing some of my family’s new favorite games from Wonder Forge? You can view the post HERE. Well, today is the second installment and I’m once again excited to share two more great new games! First up today I’ll share my new favorite “it’s too cold to go outside,…
December seems to be a time of indulgence—especially when it comes to dessert. Baked goods in the break room, cookies and egg nog at holiday parties, candy from your Secret Santa. Temptation around every corner. Thankfully with Alter Eco and ginnybakes, you can indulge without the chemicals found in most other store-bought goodies. Alter Eco…
I can’t begin to tell you how much I love adorable yet SOFT clothes for my babies!! Not only are the babies so soft and squishy, but when you combine that with an awesome outfit, total win/win!! I was sent a couple outfits from PAIGELAUREN and they are delightful! Before I go any further, they…
So I’ve been seeing all these posts floating around about an awesome idea to read a Christmas story every night before bed. As I let my mind wander and think about how fun it would be sitting in our pajammies and sipping tea while listening to a Christmas story each night, I came to the…
