real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
We’ve been spending the bulk of our Summer vacation unplugged from all things media, which, I’ll be honest, has come to a surprise to me. My kids love their cartoons, time on their kids’ tablets, and the occasional treat of playing on my computer or iPad. But this Summer we’ve been taking advantage of the…
Recently, Buddy Fruits partnered with The Smurfs 2 Movie. Super exciting for kids. We still love Buddy Fruits in our house. Yes even my six year old loves them. When you have a picky eater and you find something they will eat…you let them!! He downed 2 of these and wanted more. I don’t think…
Do you have scars that you wish were a little less noticeable? I have several scars from surgery years ago that I wish were a little smaller and less noticeable. Do you know what Keloid scars are? They are scars that are raised and pretty much ugly looking. That’s how I scar. When I was…
When I’m traveling, I wear sensible clothes that can be comfortable in a variety of settings. I layer and usually wear closed-toed shoes (because I’m apparently becoming my grandmother). When I go to the playground with my kids, I’m usually in capris and a tee shirt. When I’m by myself and ready to relax…
Making the decision to workout this summer has been darn hard! The summer months are hard on me every year when choosing to work out. It’s not that I don’t want to be healthy and stay fit and tight. It’s that there are so many other things pulling me in all directions. This summer has…
One of my favorite small pleasures is a glass of perfectly chilled wine on a hot summer day. Heaven knows that moms need a mini-vacation from time to time, and a refreshing glass of wine after a long day often fits the bill. Barefoot Wine has taken relaxation and refreshment to a whole new and delicious level….
Confession time :: When was the last time you actually printed a picture or ordered prints of pictures? Here, I’ll go first. The last picture I printed was for my daughter’s “Birthday Board” at school. In April! I know! Totally shameful! I’m just really bad at moving all those fabulous photos from my computer to…
One of the best ways to experience weight loss is to monitor and track your heart rate. That being said, how on earth do you figure that out? That was always my question, and I couldn’t seem to remember it. Now that I am pregnant, I definitely stay in and have my ideal heart rate…
A couple weeks back my girls and I took a middle of the week mini-vacation. It would have been a great day and a half at the lake if only the sun had not waited to come chase the rain away until I had packed up to leave. Even though we couldn’t do any of…
I am heading to BlogHer with SO many amazing bloggers next week. I have some goodies I will be bringing along from one of my favorite publishers!! Because I love them so much, I wanted to share the love with the other bloggers out there that may not know about some of these books. In…
Baked beans is one of my favorite summertime picnic foods! A couple years ago I started trying to figure out my own way of making them – real food style. Without the can of high fructose corn syrup beans, using real ingredients, BUT still tasting GOOD! My biggest challenge was figuring out a way to…
We are just finishing up a week of scorching hot temperatures and have had to spend some daytime hours hiding out inside to avoid heatstroke I(seriously, there was a warning). Our favorite beat the heat DVDs have been our new Babar Adventure Pack from Entertainment One. This 3 DVD pack of Babar adventures has ensured…
