Spring break is here and I’m looking forward to making memories with the kids. We don’t typically go on vacation for Spring Break, but we do like to have some special adventures. We’ve found that exploring regional parks is an affordable and fun way to spend a day. Are you familiar with the tourist spots,…
We are looking forward to Easter with our church family and then we will gather with my husband’s family to celebrate not only Easter, but 3 birthdays. One of my nephews is turning 3. I felt like my Super Wings Christmas gift we gave him was a hit so I’m going to be a one-trick…
I know a lot of you have Easter traditions. We generally go to church and then head to my mom’s house for Easter lunch and an Easter egg hunt. Since we have a few days of spring break before Easter, I thought it would be fun to let the kids be a little involved in…
I’m partnering with Zonderkidz for a fun Easter giveaway! Easter is one of my favorite times of the year….for many reasons, actually! My first child was born around Easter, the birds start chirping louder in the early hours close to Easter, the weather starts getting better around Easter. And, most importantly, family time celebrating the…
As much fun as dying eggs can be the mess is more than I enjoy dealing with, and quite frankly, NO ONE in my house will eat the stinkin’ hard boiled eggs! In an effort to still have some fun Easter themed crafts for my kids and avoid all the egg drama I’m sharing 3…
Let’s talk about diaper changing time for a quick minute. Where did you do this task? Any where you could? Changing table in baby’s room? Couch? Floor? Did you always have access to everything you needed for that moment? We honestly never had a diaper changing table and I am okay with that. It wasn’t…
Research shows that a child’s self-esteem has developed by the time they are five years old – making the earlier, formative years, critical for their development and ability to maintain high self-esteem. I love reading to my kids and sharing a story with them that they will learn something from. A newly released book The Baby Unicorn…
All of our kids are finally old enough for Monster Jam and we are pumped to go see the show! I’m equally excited that we get to give away 4 tickets for someone else to go too! Monster Jam® is adrenaline-charged family entertainment providing jaw-dropping displays and gravity-defying feats that promises to always leave fans…
On a whim last fall, I bought a can of milk paint from a friend. I didn’t really know what it was aside from being another paint product, but since I do so many small furniture and home décor projects I figured it would get used up in one way or another. I assumed it was…
As a mom I am always thinking about food for my kids. When we head out for the day, I always think through snacks for them or even lunch along the way if we are going to be gone all morning. From the time they were born I often had thoughts about whether they were eating…
With Spring officially here I am enjoying the increase in sunshine, daylight, and warmer temps. Of course, this also has me thinking that it’s time to do some spring cleaning and trek all those extra items we have accumulated since last summer to the local donation centers, charities, and resell shops. Here are three areas…
