real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Joovy is all over the SIMPLE moms’ site. I just love it. Honestly I have yet to meet a product from Joovy that I don’t care for. Maybe the luck of the draw? Or maybe just awesome products. I am thinking the latter 🙂 Today, I have the Joovy Groove for you. It is a…
We are in the middle of transforming my {almost} three year old’s room into a new Big Girl Room. I wanted this project to be budget friendly, but still oozing fun and spunky-ness…just like her! I tried to use as many things from her old room as I could. This project is one of several…
This is one of the warmest, most inviting soups you will ever taste! Even if you aren’t a pumpkin person I invite you to try this mild yet very flavorful soup. I typically use less stock than what I did for this batch, as I love a thicker soup (especially for the little ones –…
Let me start by drawing your attention to the info-graphic to the below right. See Michaela and her hair? Okay, now that you’ve all met we can move on. Miss M has been blessed with a LOT of hair. It’s slightly course, slightly curly, and extremely thick (when she gets it cut they thin out…
Before I was given the opportunity to share Ozomatli‘s new album OzoKidz I had never heard of the celebrated Los Angeles culture mashers. Given that I’m buried deep in the Mitten State that’s not to big of a surprise (that would be Michigan for all you who are wondering what in the world I was…
Anyone watch the Emmy Awards this year? I love to read about who wore what best, worst, etc. I just love anything fashion. Whether it be fashion faux-pas or whatnot, it’s just plain fun! Well, when I read that Tea Collection was on the red carpet, I stopped what I was doing and checked that…
After several days spent working on projects around the house, I was sensing the kiddos were feeling a little bored and neglegcted! I decided to hop on pinterest and find a fun, easy craft we could do together. I pinned this recipe a while back, but if you just put in a search for “moon…
What a fun time of year! If you haven’t already, I’m sure you are planning a pumpkin patch trip local to you 🙂 I know we are! We usually do a pumpkin trip around the first of October, and then spend a day roasting them off to make up pumpkin purees for the season. Everything…
Decorating for fall is almost as exciting for me as Christmas! Something about this time of year. The change of season, schedules, routines, colors, temperature, even flavors…apple cider, pumpkin, cinnamon, etc… It’s just magical. Especially in the midwest where temperatures become cool, crisp, and so comfortable. Now that is late September, I’ve decided it’s time…
Michael Angelo’s Gourmet Foods – the family owned and operated maker of fresh and authentic frozen Italian meals – is offering one grand prize winner an eight-day trip for two through the Trip to Italy sweepstakes. Winners will stay in a private villa with the Michael Angelo’s family, and will tour the region throughout the…
A year ago NCircle Entertainment released The Gruffalo on DVD and I was very excited to share the Academy Award nominated film with you (review here). Well… Helena Bonham Carter is back narrating the Gruffalo-tastic sequel, The Gruffalo’s Child and this new movie is just as much a hit with my children as the first…
Who has little book worms at home?! I sure do! My youngest, as busy as she is, is *finally* interested in books. Her attention span is short but her face just lights up when it is storytime. And my oldest has loved books from day one. I typically can’t pull her away from them! With…
