Are you doing a summer reading program with your kids? I really love our library reading program, because even babies can participate (parents track the minutes they read out loud), and adults can as well. I always sign up along with the kids because I feel like I can’t nag them to read unless I’m […]
Staying Clean and Organized When Camping
This post was sponsored by Mean Green. All opinions are my own. I had the opportunity to take five junior high Girl Scouts camping last weekend. I love camping with the girls. And yes, I mean camping camping. Not staying in a cabin. Not using an RV. Putting up a tent in the rain and standing around […]
Make your own bath paints for hours of fun
My kids love playing with bath paints. They’ll sit in the tubby as long as I let them and paint all over the walls and the bathtub and have a great time. But the paints run out quickly, and they’re kinda pricey…so now we make our own. The paints only take 4 ingredients (and one is […]
Delicious Orange Chicken Spring Rolls Are a Fun Snack to Make With Kids
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Tai Pei Food. All opinions are my own and are truthful. I have a hard time planning meals and snacks during the summer. It seems like the opposite should be true. During the school year, we’re running every which way – to scouts and sports […]
How To Make Corn Broth
Oooooh, I do love corn season. I am a cheap grocery shopper in general, but I’d mortgage my house to buy the first batch of corn each summer. This was one of the things I took for granted in California. We didn’t know we were spoiled with our produce until we came to Colorado where my […]
How to make creative and easy vegetable stamps
Do you remember making vegetable stamps as a kid? I remember doing it once or twice with potatoes, and I thought my kids would have a good time with them, too. They’re surprisingly easy to make…and the kids loved investigating all the vegetables we used. Any sturdy root vegetable will do — potatoes or beets […]
Fun Hamburger Trivia for the Summer
We’re almost done with the school year! 🎉🎉🎉 The kids are excited, I’M excited – I think we’re all ready to be finished right about now. These last few weeks, everything seems to ramp up to a fever pitch, and by the time we’re done, we all want to collapse in a large heap and do […]
Make these campfire Girl Scout swaps for your next event
The danger of doing anything with older kids is that you’re automatically volunteered to do the same things with their younger siblings. It is for this reason that I find myself the leader of both my older daughter’s Cadette Girl Scout troop, and my younger daughter’s Daisy troop. I don’t mind, actually. I find it’s […]
Delicious Cranberry Chocolate Protein Bites
I’ve been baking cookies since I was at least ten years old. I might have been even younger, but by the time I was ten, I was baking them on my own — nice, warm cookies for winter. Nice, warm cookies in the middle of summer. I love to bake, and I’ll do it anytime […]
Knitting Journals to Keep Track of All Your Projects
About a year ago, I started keeping a reading journal. I’m in a book club, and I like talking about books with my mom and my friends and I found myself quite often saying things like “I just read this great book. I remember thinking you would really like it. It’s about this woman who…” […]
