real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Last Winter we spent three days without electricity when a crazy winter storm blew threw. And, if you have kids, you completely understand that three days without electricity feels more like three weeks! Thankfully we had our fireplace to keep us warm and were able to grab some bottled water and dry foods from the…
Strictly speaking, my family is not gluten free… not anywhere close for that matter! Because our diet contains gluten, I try to balance out diet with gluten free recipes while we are at home – limiting our gluten intake. If you are anything like me, one of my favorite things (besides homemade ice-cream) is bread!…
You know we like to share fabulous products with you, right? Well, we don’t just enjoy that, but when it’s combined with something even greater, then we really enjoy it! Last time this edition from aden + anais® came out, I believe it sold out within a day. So, I wanted to share it with…
If you know me, you know that I love Vera Bradley. I don’t just love their amazing, colorful, awesome and FAB-ulous products, I love them for so many more reasons. They are just a darn good company with darn good people! For that reason, I am sharing with you a contest that you may have…
Smart devices are a great way to teach and have your kids learn. Or watch movies while mom rests? or get on YouTube and watch Minecraft videos to their hearts desire? No, my kids certainly do NOT do that. But, why not let them do it with Animalz headphones by ReTrak. Every aspect of the…
I have got to admit that I’ve been looking at Seedling kits for some time for my girls but had never quite made the commitment to purchase. The kits always looked so interesting and varied and I was sure I’d find one to interest my girls, but did I really want to take on another…
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right? But no matter what your schedule is like, it can end being a rushed, grab what you can meal for everyone. And depending on what you or the kids grab that morning, you can be hungry again a short hour later. Oatmeal is a great…
I have to admit, I’m in a bit of a rut when it comes to making lunches these days. My kids often get the same things day after day. But one thing I can do to switch up the monotony of a boring (albeit healthy) lunch is by giving my kids a little Lunch…
Since my son was old enough to hold a toy in his hand, if it had wheels it was his! A day doesn’t go by that he doesn’t have a little toy car or truck in his pocket. But, as he’s getting older, he’s becoming so much more intrigued with who the cars go together…
This morning I spent way too much time looking for my daughter’s glasses. She wore them to bed and somehow they ended up under her bed. While I’m thankful I didn’t step on them, I could have spent my already rushed Sunday morning doing something other than stripping her bed and searching her piles of stuffed…
For the past few years Ive been seeing an idea to wrap up 25 books and open one a day to read with the kids and I’ve always wanted to do it. Unfortunately, I’m forgetful and I’m also a procrastinator. For the previous years I’ve forgotten until at least a week or two into December….
“My blog post was written as part of my collaboration with WyshMe.” I absolutely LOVE these upcoming holidays, but what I do NOT love is all the guessing games when it comes to gift giving. Don’t we all enjoy giving gifts even more than getting them? You bet! It’s an even better feeling when you…
