real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
“Ball” (pause)… “Ball!!” (short pause)… “BALLLLLLL!!!!!!!” “Yes baby, I see the ball.” I can not even begin to tell you the excitement my son had when I opened the Yubo Lunch Box and My Love for Sports Thermos from Spark & Spark. If it isn’t already apparent, at least 2 of the people in our…
Product shown was provided to me by Colgate-Palmolive for the purpose of the review. Applicable images were provided as well. All opinions are my own. Ahhhh, a good shower. There is nothing like it. It has the power to wash away your troubles after a long day or invigorate you for the day ahead. Softsoap…
Two things to know about my oldest daughter: she loves art and she really loves tattoos. With her birthday money she decided to buy some sparkly tattoo pens. They look a lot like regular ballpoint pens but they write on skin easily and don’t wash off as easily. Although she can draw fairly well, her…
This post is part of a sponsorship with Target. The mom bag. What EXACTLY does that mean? Before kids I though it meant a horrendous, barf filled, booger infested bag that moms tote with them everywhere. It’s contents…who knows, and Lord knows I wasn’t willing to find out. Fast forward to after having kids. Oh…
I learned the hard way that being frugal does not mean skimping on the price of your pots and pans. I just celebrated my 10th anniversary this summer and we are on our 3rd set of pots and pans! Somehow our toaster, blender, mixer, duvet, and a few bath towels are original to our marriage, but we have…
It’s that time of year again. The time of year when moms all over the country open up the cupboard, look inside and wonder with a sigh, “What on earth can I put in my kids’ lunchbox that they haven’t eaten every day this week?” Well, look no further. Angie’s Boomchickapop has your back. Boomchickapop…
I’ve come to learn, over years of shopping for Back To School supplies, that everyone has their favorite new school supply. For some it’s a new box of sharp crayons. Others love a new backpack or a crisp new notebook. For me, it has always been the planner! Completely empty with the promise of keeping…
I received compensation from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for writing this post. I don’t know about you, but when I get overwhelmed during the summer months with the fact that my kids aren’t in school…and worry about the fact that they may be loosing knowledge learned the previous school year…I freeze. I don’t know what to…
Recently I finished a long and drawn out saga to finding some technical hardware solutions for myself. After finally settling on an iPad Air I knew one of the first accessories I needed was a good case. Lucky me that I got to try out the new SnapView 2.0 Case for iPad Air from Case…
Have your kids gone back to school yet? I think us here in Michigan are the last ones to send our kids to school. First day was a couple days ago and my kids are loving it. Did you find the perfect backpack for your child? I know I sure did when Heelys contacted me…
I have two great books that I wanted to share with you all today! They are new to me, and I thought they were quite intriguing…so I had to share! The books are by Katherine Eskovitz and they are great for parents and kids dealing with the back to school season of life. Read below…
A couple years back I remember reading an article about how fewer and fewer schools were still teaching kids how to write script (cursive). My first thoughts were, “How will kids learn to sign their own name? How will they read historical documents? Or even understand pieces of family history like my Grandpa’s letters home…
