Are your kids back to school yet? We just finished our first day. I always have mixed emotions – the freedom of summer is wonderful and we love getting out and exploring. But in reality, we don’t do that every day…and the days we don’t often have plenty of bickering and too much screen time […]
Printable lunch notes to brighten anyone’s day
I can’t believe we’re already here. I’m pretty sure every parent is saying this, or something similar to this, this week. But it feels like we just started summer and now school’s starting again. My kids actually go back next week, and we have done zero back to school shopping because I’m deep, deep in […]
5 Ways to Start Now to Prep for Summer Break
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 […]
