real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Oh, it has been a long, LONG winter. The snow and ice and frostbite have started to take their toll. Even my kids are sick of the below freezing temperatures we have endured this winter. My 18 month old has no idea what a snowman is because every time we venture outside, I am afraid…
I’m typically not really a fashionista. (My friends just laughed out loud at that because I’m soverymuch not a fashionista). I don’t go out much and I wear lots of jeans and tee shirts. I’m also usually that person who is reminding others (and myself) that beauty is more than what size you wear, and…
There is nothing better than seeing your child’s name on something. Not only is he or she naturally drawn to it, it almost justifies your name choice. Even if your mother-in-law gives you a hard time about it 2 years later (“Don’t you realize how many kids will make fun of him in middle school??”)….
I love to go to garage sales. You never know what treasures your will find when you are rummaging through the tables and bins! During one of my garage-saling expeditions, I stumbled across this cast iron pan. I remembered my mom telling me, “If you ever find cast iron, buy it!” So I heeded her…
The last time my mom’s group met we had some craft time for making cards. My brainstorming session lasted longer than it should have and when I would have usually been freaking out or just abandoning said craft, this time I was actually excited to not finish on time. You see, I knew that I…
With lots of searching online that I do, I came across Hammacher Schlemmer, (say that 10 times fast) a website full of all different kinds of products. I seriously think they have everything. I was able to review the Wipe off Fluorescent Art Easel from Hammacher Schlemmer. My daughter is at the age where she…
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Waterpik. Dental health is so incredibly important. I mean, I really don’t even have to say that. We all know that. However, in the life of a busy parent, holy man is it hard to put that as a priority every single time we…
Ahhh age 2… And the cutest little blonde spit fire you’ll ever meet. Don’t get me wrong, Claire is actually a fantastic eater considering most 2 year olds. But my goodness the energy and focus on this kid. She doesn’t want to sit still for a meal if there is running around and playing to…
Like me there’s a good chance you’ve seen KT TAPE before on professional athletes. There’s probably also a good chance that, like me, you’d dismissed KT TAPE as a tool just for professional or ‘serious’ athletes. In the iconic words from Pretty Woman “Big mistake. Big. Huge.” Whether you’re a professional athlete, a weekend warrior,…
Ever since my son was born, my husband has jokingly told me that he is my “real live dress up doll.” To which I reply without ever batting an eye, “Of course he is!” Isn’t that what every little girl dreams of doing one day? While we women are no longer playing dress-up with our…
We all have fun with Throw Back Thursday pictures. This was my #tbt photo last week. Then I received devastating news the same day about my roommate from college (pictured upper right). Melanie has 2 weeks – 2 months left to live. It took my breath away. She’s my age! 33 years is not long enough…
It is great to find more organic clothing out there, not only just for kids but for mom’s and dad’s too. Searching online, I found Purakai and their organic clothing line. My boyfriend loves v-neck tees and that’s what I found at Purakai in black. I received the shirt just before his birthday so it…
