real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Finding activities to keep kids busy during the summer months can be tricky, especially as they get older. The days of blowing bubbles and coloring with sidewalk chalk aren’t completely gone yet for our family (thank goodness…), but I have found that as my kids are quickly leaving the baby and toddler stage behind I have…
Thai food is one of my absolute favorite foods thanks to its spicy sweet mixtures of fresh and colorful ingredients. Unfortunately, some restaurants add extra sugar and starch in an attempt to “Americanize” the food. What would normally be a Paleo-lover’s dream can be quickly reduced to a starchy impostor of the real deal. Luckily,…
This summer driving plans may simply to be running errands around town or your family might be taking a longer road trip across the country, either way there is no game quite as easy to start and play as the License Plate Game. All you need is a pencil, a list of the US states…
You don’t have to be an interior designer in order to decorate your home with style and taste. Decoration is the key to having a beautiful and cozy house, one that will be a reflection of you as a person. It is important to follow your own individual style, but you should also abide by…
My children love the Dinosaur Train! This PBS series has been apart of our lives since the beginning, and it’s probably because I am partial to Jim Henson. As a child I grew up watching Fraggle Rock, and I have even borrowed it from the public library for my children to watch. This PBS series encourages…
What’s one thing as parents that we strive to do the most of? Keep our kids safe, whether it be in the car, outside or in your home. As parents, we want products that weren’t just mindful of the planet, but of babies, too. This is where babyganics comes in. Everything in your baby’s world is…
Keeping my kids safe while riding in the car is the most important. It starts with getting the right seat for them. Although my daughter is 7 years old, she still needs a booster seat because she is not big enough to fit correctly in a regular seat. Getting the proper seat was definitely something…
The topic of Hallmark movies came up awhile back as I was out to dinner with some friends. I was surprised what a seemingly controversial topic it was! There were a lot of women who were having nothing to do with the cheesy-factor…and then there was me. 🙂 So I guess maybe Hallmark movies aren’t…
Isn’t cold coffee in summer one of the most wonderful things? I mean, it is the one time of year we moms can enjoy our coffee cold on purpose! (As opposed to the rest of the year when we enjoy cold coffee by accident.) Over the years I have come across many fun looking cold…
When I was pregnant with my second child I decide to design a diaper bag with homemade baby necessities. Unfortunately, I was not able to complete everything I started due to being on bed rest. After my baby girl came into this world I was still unable to finish everything I had planned to make…
I wish I could say this was our first broken bone for our crew, but if we are keeping track it’s #3…and #4. Jack fell off his Penny Board and broke two bones in his arm. It’s so hard to see your child in pain. You would trade places with them if you could. We…
Americana Pillow Pet was provided for the purpose of the review. All other Pillow Pets were purchased ourselves. Yes, we have a few:) A few years ago I started a tradition with my kids. On the last day of school (or the first real day of summer if I need a little extra time), I…
