This post was sponsored by Blueprint4SummerCO. All opinions are my own. We just returned from Spring Break, and I’m already looking forward to summer. Honestly, sometimes I think I get as excited about summer vacation as the kids do. I love the warmer days. I love the looser bedtimes when everyone migrates outside after dinner […]
10 Kid Books to Read for Valentine’s Day
I’ve discovered Valentine’s Day is really much more fun with kids. No outlandish romantic ideals to be crushed. No overpriced dinners for two. Just a fun day where (hopefully!) everyone feels loved, with a small treat at each person’s spot at the dinner table. And as much red or heart-shaped food as I can possibly […]
10 Unique Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Tweens, Teens, and Adults
I think I have everyone’s Christmas presents figured out…but stocking stuffers can be a challenge! I want them to be amusing and maybe a bit silly, but also still useful and not something everyone’s just going to throw out. Stocking stuffers have to be interesting, but not the focal point of all the Christmas presents. […]
Vintage Saturday Brunch With Wright Hickory Smoked Bacon
This post is written by me on behalf of Tyson Foods, Inc. All opinions are entirely my own. We live in a pretty busy household. I don’t think we’re alone in this – everyone I talk to, especially this time of year, is running kids to sports or recitals or concerts. And that doesn’t even […]
Pinecone Angel Christmas Crafts For Kids
When I was in college, my aunt sent me a Christmas care package with two tiny pinecone angels she and her kids made for me. Those little angels followed me all through college, and on to my first apartment. They were so stinking cute. That’s why I like these. They’re Christmas crafts for kids, but […]
3 Things to Do With Leftover Halloween Candy
Halloween is over. This always inspires quite a few dilemmas around here. -Dilemma #1: how early does one begin playing Christmas music? (the correct answer is 9pm on October 31, when trick-or-treating is finished) -Dilemma #2: what do we do with all this candy??? My favorite solution is, of course, to eat most of it. But when […]
Creative Easter basket ideas besides candy
It’s time to start looking for Easter basket ideas already! Actually, Easter seems super-late this year. Usually our spring break is the week before Easter, but this year it was, like, three weeks ahead of time. It was kind of nice — we could travel and not miss out on our Easter traditions here (and […]
21 Handmade Valentine’s Day Cards
I love a good handmade Valentine’s Day card. We don’t go crazy here for Valentine’s Day, but we try to have a nice dinner and a very small treat for each person and probably something chocolatey for dessert. Yes. Definitely something chocolatey. We’re selective about who we make our handmade cards for — we don’t […]
9 Superstar Gifts for Kids Who Are Doers and Makers
We’re not a family that does the “something to read…something to wear…something to…” whatever those last two gift ideas are. I only remember that I read this idea on Pinterest, and that it totaled four gifts per kid and with four kids that’s sixteen gifts which I think might be getting a little out of hand. […]
The 9 Best Family Christmas Movies of All Time
I love my cheesy Christmas movies. I just finished watching one that’s still sticking with me…because every house in it had snow on the ground, but their lawns were perfectly green and the snow didn’t land anywhere that snow normally does. Is it weird to fixate on those things? I’m not the only one, right? The […]
