This coming week my girls and I are going to make a trek to our local library to sign up for their summer reading club. With Michaela actually beginning to read, this summer will include a LOT of books for her to sharpen her skills with. Keeping with the theme of summer I am excited…
{fashion friday} cover up with evy’s tree :: review
You know those shops that you watch for a while, purchase here and there and love the items every time you get something? That is Evy’s Tree to me and and my experience with them. Evy’s Tree is a sweet shop that has the most amazing pieces of detailed clothing I’ve seen. Most times I’m…
save your treasured phone messages as mp3 files with voicemails forever :: review
Have you been saving a special voice message in your voicemail account that you’d LOVE to save permanently? Then you’ll love Voicemails Forever. I wish I had known about this service sooner; my lame technologically challenged service provider allows for voicemails to be saved for 14 days, then they’re gone forever. Boo. The process is simple….
slip into latin dreamland with putumayo kids :: review
When my little princesses start to get too crazy I will frequently use calming music and some quiet play time to calm them down. I’ve learned that my music selections have to be rotated though or they quickly loose focus and go right back to crazy in 5.6 seconds. Newly added to our calming rotation…
@DisneyStory app #yourstotell :: feature {DisneySMMoms}
Are you constantly on your phone taking pictures of your children? I often find myself quick grabbing my phone over my nice Canon camera these days. More for convenience than anything else. Obviously my Canon 50D takes much better pictures than my iPhone 5…but with little hands reaching for everything, my iPhone is much easier…
you lookin’ at me? ’cause i’m lookin’ at you! #smoothblogger

Ok, a little dramatic, I know. But you have ALL heard the stories about the work out equipment collecting dust,…
a simple real food recipe :: cinnamon pancakes :: gluten free
Let’s do pancake breakfast morning for the family this weekend, eh?! I have quite a few pancake recipes up my sleeve! We really love these oat pancakes, and usually do these once or twice a month, but since I use a lot of oats in granola, and my granola bars use oats, it is nice…

welcome baby charlie :: life with 3 kiddos :: i’m back… kind of
It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 8 weeks since we met our Charlie. I’ve been on “maternity leave’” from The Simple Moms, but I’m phasing back in. I’ll be starting out with some great bottle reviews too! Stay tuned. We met Charlie on April 19th, 2013. I was miserably pregnant with him for the last…
a simple real food recipe :: fresh strawberry lemonade
There is just something about an ice cold glass of lemonade on a hot summer day. This is a pretty special treat in our house since we don’t keep “juice” around, but when you are using fresh ingredients and natural sweetening methods, it is a far better special treat choice than the lemonade or concentrate…
