real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
One of my favorite things about summer is all the fresh produce with my girls. When you’re buying fruit fresh from the farmer you know there aren’t any “extras” – just like the new Farmer’s Pick by Welch’s! I’m rather picky about the juice and fruit spreads that come into my house. When I first…
What is my favorite thing about J.L. Childress? The fact that this company was founded by a mom with a desire to make traveling with children as easy as possible! We all know we could use help in this area… Am I right? Jan Childress was trying to balance her career as well as her…
Summer is coming! Summer is coming! YAY! Summer is coming! Anyone else feeling a bit stir crazy from a REALLY long winter and a colder than usual spring? One of the ways my girls know that summer has started is when we have our first traditional hot dog picnic of the year. This past week…
A tablet here, a tablet there…a tablet everywhere! We are surrounded by technology, yet not all technology is created equal. You can easily get a tablet and have your child play endless hours on it. We have one like that, and they could….if we let them. However, I want any time on a tablet or…
“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Reebok. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.” Run, run, run. Rest. Run, run, run…think about resting. Being a Mom of young little ones, my rest period is very far…
We just had Teacher Appreciate week last week at my son’s school and we also honored our Sunday school teachers at church. I’m always looking for unique gifts to give to those precious souls that teach my kids so I don’t have to. I tip my hat to those that have the patience to be…
Summer is here and it’s time for the fruity fun drinks to be had. Cascade Ice is not new to SIMPLE. I am here to tell you about the organic line of delicious drinks they have. I am obsessed with sparkling beverages. The fizzier the better. I love it. I am glad that there is…
Oh those sweet chubby little 9 month old teething babies! I know for a fact they are made so darn cute at this age to make up for the teething nightmare that they are! All 3 of my girls now are just terrible teethers. I cannot even come close to relating to those that exclaim…
I love my mommy body… The little bit of loose skin and few stretch marks around my belly are tangible reminders of a wonderful 9 months. Those 9 months are the closest that I will ever be to my little man. I would never trade them for anything, even if my body is never quite the same as…
The thought of starving children makes me sick to my stomach. Then, I sit and do the wondering on if there is anything that little ol’ me can do to make a significant impact. While I can’t, at this point in my life, do anything to make a significant impact, I can do little things….
A few years ago I was one of several staff photographers at a multi-day event. It wasn’t like I was always on for the entire time, but if I wasn’t hiding in my hotel room I had my camera in hand (and usually my camera bag as well). Even in the break room, I wasn’t…
I know I have talked about Posh Play in the past, and quite honestly their play mat is still one of my absolute favorite MUST HAVE baby items! I won’t gush over it right now, but if you want to see why I love Posh Play so much, hop on over to my review of…
