real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Let’s talk about breakfast. Breakfast is one meal I miss sometimes and I do realize it is the most important meal of the day. But getting these kids ready for the day makes me forget. One thing I know I do like is quick and easy ideas for breakfast. On the go is even better….
It can feel overwhelming to think about reducing your family’s toxic burden. I know, because we’ve been working on that very thing for quite a few years! One of our kids has chemical sensitivity – which means they react to a lot of chemicals that really weren’t on our radar for a long time. Things like painting…
Summer is here and that means that most of our kiddos will be off from school and at home playing and enjoying themselves. Of course, on days when it is raining or the heat is just too much this means that they will be indoors driving everyone nuts. In an effort to avoid a one…
My daughters obsession with Mickey and Minnie are real. When I saw that Freshly Picked came out with Mickey and Minnie designs for their moccs, I knew I had to have a pair for her. Disney is the happiest place on earth why not let your little one experience the magic of the happiest moccs…
Did you have a good Memorial Day weekend? I’m catching up after a few days of fun plus we are in the final stretch of school. It’s particularly busy since my husband and I are both on staff. I’m excited that we are close to summer, but trying to finish strong and keep it…
Ah, it’s unofficially summer. My favorite season. I love the warmer weather and taking advantage of everything Michigan has to offer in the summer (which is pretty much everything–I always say there’s no place better than Michigan in summertime). We love checking out all of the beaches, heading to the pool and just spending time…
First of all, we just want to thank all the men and women who have sacrificed their lives for our country! Having 4 family members in the military, at one point, really makes me sit back and think how grateful I am to have them around. Growing up with my father in the Navy for…
Remember Fingerlings? Those adorable little animal friends your kiddos were pining over during the holiday season? You can check out my review here. Well, WowWee is released a new product, and it’s tinier and cuter than the original. Meet Fingerlings Minis, small collectibles that hang off everything from pencils to necklaces to full-sized Fingerlings. And for an extra little…
When I first saw the word “hygge” the only thing I could think was that it must be pronounced somewhere between hygiene and hickey 😉 For the record, Hygge is a Danish word (actually pronounced, “HOO-GUH”) that means coziness. It’s really more of a feeling than a word…the art of finding meaning and beauty in…
As a life long Michigander I am rather biased in my love for our great state but I know that our beautiful beaches, plentiful lakes, and mix of urban & rural attractions bring many visitors each year. Once my kids started to be more travel friendly (and honestly, sometimes when they were not very travel…
Kindergarten is supposed to be fun and educational, and allow children an opportunity to blossom because it is usually the first time the tykes are away from their parents for any significant amount of time. And while most kindergartens don’t exactly have GPA requirements, for a child to succeed there are a few milestones that…
Radio controlled cars seem to be a timeless toy that kids have been enjoying for as long as I can remember. Of course over the years the technology has improved and the cars are faster and the batteries last longer. Nikko’s Turbo Panther 60th Anniversary Edition R/C car by Toy State has been a blast…
