real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
**I was offered a gift in exchange for sharing this post. Regardless, you know I love Kohl’s!** As you know, I’m a huge fan of everything that Kohl’s has to offer. I have especially focused on their fashion side of things. Yet, they have SO much more to offer! In my humble, but completely accurate…
It’s no surprise. After you have a baby, you have quite a transition to go through to love your “new” body. Some people pop right back, some people don’t, some people change in their shape to ways that don’t even make sense. And, here I sit. My baby is 12 weeks old now, and, wait…
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. Are you a runner? If not, do you want to be? I fall in to the category of want to be. Someday! And I will be. I am on my feet all day long and having a good supportive shoe is what I need. Let…
Mother’s Day is coming up FAST! May 11th is the day, are you ready? Do you know a Mom, or is it YOUR mom who goes above and beyond? Let’s face it, all Mom’s really do go above and beyond. So, why not reward them? What mom in your life would you like to give…

My son absolutely LOVES to sit and snuggle with me as we read a good book. Of course he has his favorite books that we read over… and over… and over… again! Recently he added to his “favorite list” when he received the My SuperSomeone book from flattenme. Anyone can be a SuperSomeone: an aunt, cousin, mom,…
One of the most common baby gifts I give isn’t even for the baby; it’s for the mama! And it’s a copy of The Happiest Mom by author Meagan Francis. As a mom of 4, I often get asked about little tips and tricks I use to help life run a little more smoothly and…
I don’t know about you, but I absolutely LOVE being outdoors. Throughout the winter months when I am snowed in here in Michigan, I sit and daydream about when I will be able to be outside again. Whether it is working in my garden, reading a good book or having fun playing games with my…
OK, cheesy title, I know. But I couldn’t resist the rhyming. And it is so true. Turtlebacks are portable drink holders that go with you everywhere and keep your snack or drink safe from the ever-present danger of tippage. Have you ever been to the beach and wished you had a place to put your…
Several months ago I went to visit a friend who’d just had a baby and she had this gorgeous lamp in her daughter’s room. It was made of a wire “bowl” filled with several orangeish-pinkish rocks and a light beneath the rocks. When I asked about it she told me that they weren’t actually rocks…
So last week I got to tell you how excited I am for next week’s opening of Mom’s Night Out. And now I am back to tell you how Papa Murphy’s made my Mom’s Night Out viewing experience even more amazing and fun. You see, not only did I get to enjoy a movie with…
We have always been a musical family. As the daughter of a pianist (my mom) and a Christian Music Buyer — the guy who chose what artists and CDs were sold in Family Christian Stores nationwide (my dad), it was an inevitability. I love music, my kids love music, and my husband mostly deals with…
