Category: Fun & Laughs (Page 6 of 6)
Fun and Laughs is a rather obscure topic on Real Simple Mama, simply because it includes the light-hearted, sometimes random, and always joyous articles which don’t fit anywhere else.
My goal here is to keep the balance of RSM by adding articles which are whimsical and educational. As always, you can trust RSM to have hundreds of articles which relate to pregnancy and attachment parenting: prenatal care, natural birth, breastfeeding, postpartum healing, cosleeping, babywearing, baby led weaning, cloth diapering, and more. I aim to make pregnancy and parenting easy to bear with researched and experienced advice. Always simple, always honest!
Look to this Fun and Laughs category for parenting and motherhood articles which may hit a little too close to home, but are guaranteed to make you smile.
And I encourage you to see what RSM has to offer in the form of parenting eBooks! Check them out here.
Thanks for your support! Welcome to Real Simple Mama.

Being a mom is hard. Like, really hard. Worthwhile and joyous and life changing, yes. But hard nonetheless.
Being a dad is hard too, damnit. My husband has been working extra hard lately, and he deserves to know how appreciated and loved he is, so I wanted to write this just in time for Valentines Day. Thanks for reading this letter to my husband.
A little backstory: Babe and I met in high school, I was a freshman and dating his best friend. We were on-again-off-again until we decided that resistance was useless, and married in 2008.

I still love this man. Hell, I love him more now than ever. And nothing screams “jackpot” more than watching him with our children. He is patient, fair, and already has mastered dad jokes. But we never get time to sit and gaze into each other’s eyes, talking peacefully and admiring one another. So, I want to write him a letter.
One of the most exciting – and unexpectedly stressful – components about parenthood is picking out the name for your child. It can be extremely exciting and fun to talk with your significant other about all the options, but there are a few things to keep in mind as you make that list. Here are our suggestions for baby names! Continue reading
Being the father of a baby that isn’t here yet can feel like you’re sitting on the sideline of the most important game of your life. But just because she’s the one doing all the work in actually carrying your future son or daughter, that doesn’t mean your involvement is not important. Sarah is now in her third trimester and I feel more needed than ever. There are so many things that we can do as husbands that will be much appreciated. Here are my quick and easy tips for how we can be involved as dads. Continue reading
