real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Confession :: The last time my husband and I actually went out on Valentine’s Day was in 2005. NINE years ago! And we won’t be going out this year either. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not looking for sympathy or guilting anyone in to babysitting for free (although that’s totally up for discussion), because I…
With today being Valentine’s Day, what better topic to talk about than marriage? Valentine’s Day is a day devoted to all things mushy-gushy and lovie-dovie (not to mention sweet kisses, holding hands and chocolate!). What happens though when those “heart warming” feelings begin to diminish? I think a lot of times we get the definition…
GoGoGoGoGO! I try so hard to get up early enough to be ready in time to walk out the door. We have it much easier than most because we don’t have to be anywhere until 9am. Sounds reasonable, right? Like we should be able to do it with no problem. But no matter how early…
So… I really love coffee. Capital L.O.V.E. – love coffee. My electric kettle, French press, and coffee grinder get a daily workout to give me a perfectly brewed pot of mom fuel each morning (and I drink every last delicious drop). Lately I have wanted to expand my coffee horizons but sadly the most convenient…

This winter has been a WINTER here in the Midwest. Oh em gee!! Thank goodness Disney has our parenting back with some pretty great DVD releases! I have yet another one for you today, one that my younger ones and in love with lately! Matter of fact, my 7 year old has even been caught…
Below zero temps, Polar Vortexes, blizzards galore…By this time of year I think just about everyone could use some skin pampering. And I’m not just going to put anything on myself – or my family. Taproot Farms exceeded my expectations for skin care, handcrafting all of their skin care right on their own farm….
Has anyone else been in the search for the perfect activity monitor? I knew that if I had a good activity monitor it would help keep me motivated to be more active on a daily basis; however I had some pretty stringent requirements. After looking at quite a few of the options out there I…
“Get sprinkled with Pink Zebra.” Did I get your attention with a title like that? You may be wondering what you will be getting sprinkled with. Better yet, what is a Pink Zebra? Let me fill you in! Pink Zebra is a new home fragrance company that offers a wonderful lineup of products ranging from candles,…
Psst…did you hear? Valentine’s Day is this week! Are your grandeur plans set in stone yet? Or are your plans more fly by the seat of your pants? I’m typically the latter when it comes to Valentine’s Day. We don’t make a big deal out of it normally, but this year we celebrated early and…
I love when a company expects the most out of their products and, when those products aren’t performing as such, they do something about it! That’s what Graco did today. Today Graco issued a voluntary recall of 3.7 million of their toddler convertible carseats and harnessed booster seats. Specifically the recall is on the harness…
I did not buy any diapers until our Charlie was 8 months old. A wise friend told me many years ago that I should buy a pack of diapers every month of pregnancy. It’s only fun to buy the first pack so enjoy the moment (before they are born and using 1,052 diapers a day). The thrill of buying a…
