real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Fall is upon us. After all, the first day of fall was this week. Uhhh, I honestly didn’t know that until I heard someone say it when I was out running errands. Good to know! Then, of course, my oldest informed me of this great news when she can home from school. We do love…
Last week my kids and I had fun with National Talk Like a Pirate after I took a quiz and found my pirate name would be Dread Pirate Rackham (sounds fearsome, doesn’t it?). As much as we enjoyed our day of “Arrrghs!” and “Mateys!” the language skills we need to work on developing are less…
I live in Michigan. Here, the weather is…eh. Fall is gorgeous, but you honestly don’t know what you are going to get from one day to the next. The weatherman will call for one thing, and about 50% of the time he/she is right. That leaves us “outdoor work-outers” befuddled. It then leaves us reaching…
As we begin another school year with my kiddos I’m finding that my girls are very interested in all things scientific. While I’m super excited about this interest (YAY!) I wasn’t quite sure how to encourage them with learning all things scientific in an age appropriate manner. Be still my beating heart when I discovered…
It doesn’t get much better than snuggling up newborn nursling sweetness 😉 I have to admit…as much as I am just eating up all of her sweet newborn smell, I am missing one of my favorite prepping/cooking/baking times of the year. I am getting back on my feet a bit, but I am still very…
A couple years back I picked up this really cute book called “Little Michigan” for my girls. Even though we’re transitioning out of the board book phase at our house “Little Michigan” is still a favorite of my girls as it contains some really great illustrations that go with a page by page riddle for…
I love Halloween! We don’t go all out on decorating or haunted houses but decorating pumpkins, costumes and trick-or-treating are a must! I’ve always wanted to be one of those families where the entire family dressed up as a theme. You know, everyone dresses as a different character from a favorite movie or book. Doesn’t…
“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for McCain Foods. I received a promotional item as a thank-you for participating.” McCain is a newer name to me – one that I had to research a little bit when first hearing about it. Sitting down to dinner with my family is very…
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. As any parent can attest, what item, next to the baby and the diapers themselves, do you touch in those first few years…

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. Have you ever wished you had a digital scale for your kitchen? I never thought I would use one until I actually have…
It’s fall, y’all! In the south fall doesn’t mean sweaters and hot cocoa just yet, but it does mean football (Go DAWGS!) and hayrides and trips to the pumpkin patch. Bright and brilliant leaves and the sound of fallen leaves crackling under foot. Ahh…I really, really love it. To welcome fall, we’ll be making a…
