real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
I haven’t had the time recently to go out and do much shopping. From the deadlines here on SIMPLE to the appointments and commitments in my life outside of my house right now, I haven’t had much time to breathe, let alone shop. That being said, I haven’t had time to get something new for…
**I was sent an assortment of items from the Amazing Zhus line by Cepia, LLC. All opinions are our own.**If you have followed this blog for a few years now, you will know that my family and I adore the Zhu-Zhu pet line. WEELLLLL…I have some new ones to share with you today!! You may…
“I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for OshKosh B’gosh. I received an OshKosh B’gosh gift card to purchase product and to thank me for my participation.” I don’t know about you, but shopping with kids can sure be quite an event! Especially in unpredictable stores. Most times, I go in…
Kids love to have a secret to keep! Spy Alley is a fun game for players to try to keep their own identity hidden, while trying to figure out their opponents’. It combines a little suspense, skill, and reasoning to disguise yourself while you work to guess the other players. This is a great game…
My husband and I often comment to each other how absolutely lucky we are when it comes to putting our kids to bed. They have their routine and, besides the occasional “one last trip to the potty”, once they are in bed, they stay there until morning. Again, we completely understand how fortunate we are…
With all the children’s shows on TV these days, how do you know which ones are best for your children? My little guy is not even 2 years old yet and already I am finding it difficult to find him something that he enjoys and that I feel teaches him things of importance. There have…
I’m not a modern-day scrooge at all, but I really don’t like a lot of presents under the tree. I much prefer to give a few special gifts than be overwhelmed by “stuff”. Each year I like to give my kids a book as one of their Christmas gifts. This year I have decided to…
Between December and January, we have 4 birthdays in our family. One of those falls on December 22nd. December birthdays are hard, y’all.

Ok, can we be real here? Right now we are seeing a plethora of posts about what everyone’s Elf on the Shelf has been up to over night. Yes, there are those that are freakin’ over the top with their elf, (you know, like pooping peppermints and such) and there are those that simply move…
Today I had a very interesting conversation with my 7-year-old about how “Daisy at the gym said that Santa and the Tooth Fairy are just your parents giving you presents and money.” Knowing that the less I talk in these situations the more she will work it out on her own, I simply asked, “And…
I am that mom who doesn’t send desserts in her kids’ lunches. I know they would love it, but it just seems like they come home from school sugared up already from the birthday treats, candy prizes and holiday parties, so it just seems a bit redundant giving them even more sugar. But every once…
Music is such a great way to teach just about anything. Put something you need to memorize into a song, and it will be so much easier to remember! Rivanna Music teaches a variety of different things through their music. Cathy Bollinger sings and plays the guitar while teaching different things like healthy eating, social skills,…
