As the holidays approach and we make our way through our Christmas Advent calendar, I see the kids eyes light up each night just hoping there is a “fun” card inside the envelope. Along with bible verses relating to the Christmas story, I also have some fun activities planned that I stuff in a few…
Disclosure: I received a copy of Baking Class for free in order to review. All opinions are my own. I was not compensated for this post, I simply enjoyed the product and wanted to share! Every time I step into the kitchen to bake, the kids think it’s a great idea that they join me.…
I get this yucky feeling when I pick up a toy that I know will be broken or lost in a matter of weeks and place it in my cart for a birthday or Christmas. It feels like such a waste to buy something that they might sorta like, but probably won’t love. It will…
As the end of the year approaches, it’s a good time to stop and reflect on all we are thankful for. As a mom, instilling gratitude in my kids is incredibly important to me; and I’m sure I’m not alone. So I’ve created these FREE Gratitude Cards for you to print and fill out with your…
Call me crazy, but I’m pretty sure unicorns are nothing new… these mythical creatures have been around forever, haven’t they? Didn’t Rainbow Bright ride on a unicorn? Or was that just a colorful horse? Either way, I feel like they were present in my childhood. So why on earth are they blowing up right now…
I don’t generally get dressed up for Halloween. I mean, after all the blood, sweat and tears that I spend on creating costumes for my 3 kids each year, I’d rather just admire my hard work on them instead of worrying about myself… not to mention, there is rarely time to think about what I’m…
I’ve never really been one to decorate for Halloween. I’ve tried in the past, but was more than happy to remove it when Halloween was done. Call me crazy, but black and orange and skeletons and spiderwebs don’t scream “cozy” to me, and it always just made me feel uncomfortable in my own home. So…
Oh, pumpkin carving. I avoided it for SO many years. When the kids were young, I convinced them that painting or coloring their pumpkins would be SUPER FUN. And it totally worked (see here)… for a while. Now that they are older, we have started actually carving our pumpkins like normal people. My husband loathes this activity.…
Oh beloved fall; you are most definitely my favorite. It’s not just the pumpkin everything, everywhere or the changing leaves or the cool breezes or the smell of fire in long awaited fireplaces. Nay, it’s also the boots, scarves, jackets, hats, jeans… the list goes on. In fact, with each change in season brings another…
I have always enjoyed cooking. I used to have the time and energy to try out new recipes, but in the last couple of years with the addition of 3 kids and a busy work schedule, I can barely muster up the energy and excitement to throw a frozen pizza in the oven… But as…
