real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Brrr…. The chill of fall is in the air here in Michigan. While this summer lovin’ mama is a little sad about this, I am also excited for #FallFashion! Seeing my little guy bundled up in warm cardigans, blue jeans and knit hats makes my heart melt a little. I just want to go roll…
LeapFrog. When you hear this name, you either think of the childhood game you played or you think of the brand, LeapFrog. For me, it’s the latter. I am up to my knees in kid mode and always searching for the new and fun item that my kids will soon be asking me for. I…
I can’t say I like having the title “fashion blogger”. After all, if you could see me most days, “fashion” is the last thing you would think. I’m a busy mom of 4 young ladies and sometimes, making them look cute is the priority over myself. Yet, I LOVE sharing fashions for the “real mom”….
My oldest daughter is an extremely picky eater. She has an especially limited spectrum when it comes to school lunches. Every month we sit down and look at the lunch calendar and circle the days when they are offering something that she likes. Usually there are only 2 or 3. Most other days she will…
Since we homeschool, a lot of back to school necessities aren’t necessary for us. But one thing that I do think is really important it to remind my kids how to stay healthy. Even though we homeschool, we do spend one day a week learning with other homeschool families so I made a little print…

Do you know Mo? If not, you are missing out. Mo is a lovable puppy who loves exploring the world with his nose. My family has recently discovered Mo and we are all smitten. The Mo’s Nose series, written by Margaret Hyde and illustrated by Amanda Giacomini, follows Mo as he discovers all of the…
The first time I heard that schools were handing out iPads to high school students, my jaw hit the floor! Are these schools mad? They are letting these kids take these iPads home? Don’t they realize they’ll be destroyed in less than a week? Well, apparently these schools knew a thing or two about what…
First of all, I seriously can’t believe we are talking Back to School already. I thought it was just yesterday that we were getting my little ones off the bus celebrating the fact that we had arrived at summer break!! On to the fun of doing totally awesome things every day! Alas…here we are. Some…
Summer reading club has ended for us but that doesn’t mean that I’ve let up on finding new and engaging books for my girls to enjoy. Our latest find from Sleeping Bear Press, Kay Kay’s Alphabet Safari, turned out to be a big hit with all the kids. Unlike some alphabet books where each page…
With all the sunshine and adventures of summer I will admit that my gym membership and I have not been as closely acquainted as one would like. Okay, okay… so we haven’t seen each other in months. I’m too busy doing all the outdoor things we can’t do in winter in Michigan! All the summer…
I have a love & hate relationship with working out. I get intimated by the “beautiful” people at the gym, but I know I need to be there. I’m never sorry that I made time for the gym. However, I need to set myself up for success when I get there. Part of that is…
