real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Long road trips can be a lot of fun, but with a little one they can be unpredictable! Sitting in a car seat can get boring pretty quickly for most kids, but our Watch & Roll came just in time for our 16 hour drive! While our little guy is under a year and doesn’t…
The holidays are going groovy this year with the all new holiday-inspired Groovy Girl — Groovy Girls Merry Marissa from Manhattan Toy! Ready to rock…or groove…around the Christmas tree, Merry Marissa is decked out in her colorful snowflake dress, silver shoes, and removable shrug. Add in the red and green strands in her hair and…
Let’s chat about Christmas Stockings for a minute, ladies. Specifically those Stocking Stuffers! To be transparent, stocking stuffers are never over the top in our house. Just some simple little goodies for the kids. But, if I don’t do my proper planning and add specific items to the shopping list, I find myself stuffing their…
What’s not to love about milk and cookies?! Especially when they are made from ingredients that help your toddler grow healthy and strong! Happy Family is an organic food brand that is committed to providing optimal nutrition for the entire family. All products are made from organic ingredients with no artificial sweeteners or flavors, and the packaging is…
We live far away from much of our family, and I want our little one to remember his grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. in between visits! I am so thankful for Skype, FaceTime, and other great chances to connect and catch up even though we can’t all be together as much as we’d like. I was…
I am loving all of the monthly subscription services out there. For someone like me who hates making decisions and equally dislikes spending time at the mall, it’s kind of perfect getting something handpicked for me delivered right to my door. And a huge bonus is when I can get those items at a discount….
I love coffee. I look forward to waking up in the morning to my first cup for the day. I like to pick up a coffee when I’m out, drink a cup with friends, and share a pot with company. I like most kinds, most flavors, but I really appreciate a good cup. I have my everyday…
Moms, raise your hand if you love shopping for intimates with your kids in tow. Really? None of you are raising your hands. What part do you dislike? Is it the small children asking questions? The rushed purchase because it’s impossible to get fitted while children test out body glitter and lip plumper? The total…
One of my favorite Christmas traditions that I started when my kids were just babies was that Santa always brings each of them a plush doll or animal. Sometimes in their stockings, sometimes too big to fit in their stockings, but always a new plush to snuggle for the year. Each year we Santa picks a…
I’m super thrilled that minted.com picked us to feature their cards again this year. I found “the one” very quickly. I’m not usually so decisive, but I fell in love. Sounds corny, but it was love at first sight. Yes, I feel that passionately about my Christmas cards. I really enjoy picking, preparing, and sending them. Getting the perfect…
Christmas is coming! The season of peace, joy and love. What better way to show your love than to finally pop the question. Or, if that has already been taken care of, create a custom piece of jewelry just right for your wife. Or order a special birthstone necklace for your daughter. And do any…
To get in the mood to write this post, I let myself burn the Magical Frosted Forest Christmas candle I was sent to review. I wish it magically cleaned my home while it made it smell so crisp and fresh, but it’s not quite perfected to do that just yet. I associate Christmas with my favorite…
