real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Even though school just got out, that doesn’t mean we stop packing lunches! We have already gone on some fun, all day adventures this summer. Kids eat a LOT and they tend to eat quite frequently. I was recently given two PackIt Freezable Lunch Bags for my girls and they have come in quite handy…
Two little tidbits about me for ya: 1) I was 22 before I ever had my first cavity and 2) I brushed my teeth 2 (often 3) times a day until I got pregnant with my first child. Then every time I put my toothbrush in my mouth, I gagged and…um…it never ended well. We…
I cannot even begin to describe the rush of emotions I felt as I pulled this amazing bear out of the box. Every piece of him is made from an article of my son’s clothing, so as I looked at every color, design and detail, I could not help but remember all the fun I…
With it being the the beginning of summer break, I thought it would be fun to do a little experiment with the girls. While no toilet paper was hurt in the filming of this video, we did waste a teeny, tiny bit. Could have been much more if we used another brand! 🙂 My girls…
Yesterday was the first day of summer. Yahhhoooo! So in good ‘ol summer fashion spirit, I thought I would put together a little post about some summer fashion that I am sporting this season! It’s time for light weight shirts, shorts, capris and dresses! First off, I must admit to you that 99% of my…
Who wouldn’t enjoy some time away? This mama right here would for sure! It’s such a nice time to rejuvenate and rest. A “time-out” for YOU! Check this out… MAM knows life as a parent can get hectic. With summer finally here, MAM is going to give you a much deserved chance to relax for…
We start it, we finish it. That is one thing we all have in common when it comes to toilet paper. When the roll is complete, and all of the product has been used, what do you do with the roll? Most people trash them along with the dirty tissues. However, with it being summer,…
I have a family of dippers. For my oldest daughter, it’s ketchup. For my youngest, it’s absolutely anything and everything she can get us to put on her plate. My husband and I have a more refined palate and we both love a good bowl of chips and dip. Or veggies and dip, now that…
Last week my son had surgery on his leg and isn’t able to take baths for several weeks. He is, however, allowed to shower. The only problem is that most of my kids hate showers. (They like to dance in the rain though. I never promised they made sense!) The day he came home from…
Fancy and toilet paper don’t typically go in the same sentence. At least, not for me they don’t! That is…until now. Not all toilet paper is created equal many have learned over the years. I was yet again reminded this year as we switched over to Quilted Northern Ultra Soft & Strong. Not only is…
For the past few months, I have been trying (very strong emphasis on trying) to get up at the C.R.A.C.K. of dawn to exercise with a friend of mine. I stink at getting up even 5 minutes before I absolutely have to and I really really stink at getting up when I know I could…
Whether you are looking for a fun way to add some sparkle to your garden or flower bed or dress up your deck, these eternal watering cans can be a lot of fun! What I really love about these, beside being very simple to create, is that you can add so many different looks to…
