real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Do you ever wish you had someone to cook your meals for you? I wish this almost every day. But this week has felt like I had my own personal sous chef on staff in my kitchen. Each night, I had a quick and easy meal ready to cook with minimal time and effort. Personal…
When I was in college, I babysat for a family who homeschooled and one of their boys was fascinated with animals. We spent a lot of time outside playing with bugs and lizards and anything that creeped or crawled. And when it was time for bed, they were allowed one short TV show and one…
Spring is a lovely time of year. It is full of color and new life. I love it, because living in Michigan, it follows a very dark time. Massive amounts of snow outside…and dark fashion colors inside. Can we just say no to grey and black for now!! I think so, and Kohl’s has us…
Coming March 7th, 2014 is a fun loving, silly movie from DreamWorks Animation. While I have you, I had to share it with you! Have you seen anything about Mr. Peabody & Sherman? I have more for you today! Here is the trailer for your viewing pleasure :: And now, a little about the show…
A friend shared this idea with me and l love it. Create an email for your child now (or when they are born) and give them the password when they are old enough to have email. Not only are you reserving an email for your child (so they aren’t stuck with Jack123456million@blahblahblah.com), but you have a really special…
I am not a morning person. Therefore, my kids are not morning people either. Except, of course, on Saturdays when we all could {theoretically} sleep in and then they are all gung-ho about jumping out of bed to greet the day at 7:02. During the week, though, getting them out of bed is no joke….
My kids will be on Spring Break in exactly 6 weeks. And I’m completely conflicted! On one hand, after all of the Snow Days we’ve had since January 1, more days off is the last thing my kids need (or want). On the other hand, I look forward to the break from our regular schedule…
Materials: canvas, paint, paintbrush, buttons (or other small items like Legos or toy cars or animal figures), fine glitter(not pictured), Glue Dots (I used permanent ones) I like to start by arranging my buttons on the unpainted canvas to make sure I can actually make the shape I see in my head. You could lightly…
With our on-again-off-again relationship back on-again, the gym and I have been seeing a lot more of each other lately. Losing weight, getting stronger, uninterrupted showers while the childcare staff entertain my children… It’s easy to see why we’re going steady. 😉 I knew that if I wanted to spend less time in the locker…
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. Pack a lunch! If you are out and about, do you end up grabbing a meal out or did you plan ahead and pack something for you and your kiddos? Skip the meal out and save the money. Pack a lunch with Sunsella! Sunsella sent…
Bath night is such a favorite in our house! With three little girls to get all cleaned up it gets a little crazy, but those after bath cuddles before bed are the best, aren’t they?? I have gone through my share of baby/kid towels. I love their hooded design, but the ones I had were…
As far back as I can remember my youngest daughter has loved brushing her teeth. As soon as she could walk, I was never surprised to find that she had sneaked into the bathroom to brush her teeth while my back was turned. Multiple times. Every day. Fast forward a couple years and she still…
