Can You See It?

Tweet My kids and I love to stare up at the clouds. We see animals, shapes, and images that captivate us and spur on conversations among us. There goes a bunny rabbit. Is that a lion about to pounce? As we were driving home this evening, Noah yelled out that he saw something. Can you [...]

Disney On Ice “Let’s Celebrate!” {Discount Code}

Tweet We had the extreme privilege of being special guests at the Disney on Ice “Let’s Celebrate!” show. Boy, did we have fun! It was one colossal party on ice, with all of our favorite Disney friends! We saw Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse as they celebrated a Very Merry Unbirthday Party, with Alice and [...]

Play-Doh Cake Challenge

Tweet The table was covered with Play-Doh. Plastic knives, molds, presses and empty containers were strewn all over the kitchen floor, oozing in to the living room. But, in the midst of the mess, it’s no wonder that Josh and Julia would decide to stage their own Challenge, being the Food Network fans that we [...]

Nature’s Cupcake

Tweet When on a nature walk, in practically our own backyard, Ethan brought a smile to our faces when he shouted out that he found a “cupcake” just off the trail. Can you see it in tucked in the grass? Later we found spiders {shudder}, beautiful flowers, tadpoles and more. We had a fun afternoon [...]

Breakfast with Sandra Lee and Pillsbury

Tweet This morning, over breakfast, I had the chance to chat with Sandra Lee about Pillsbury Rolls and Sunday morning family rituals. What?! You don’t know who Sandra Lee is? That’s okay, neither did I before last week, but I’m sure glad I had a chance to “meet” her. Let me tell you a bit [...]

A Sweet Spring Garden

Tweet Inspired by Marie’s lollipop flowers, I decided to make each of our closest neighbors a special mini Spring cake with flowers of our own. The kids and I mixed up two different cake mixes and poured them into five mini loaf pans and our Wilton UltraGold square pan. While our cakes were baking, we [...]

Snowflakes

Tweet As I travel across the country for the third time in the last week, I can only imagine what my babies are doing to keep busy under the watchful eye of Aunt Sara. It was cold and raining when I left this morning, so I envision many little ones – eight to exact, including [...]

Indoor Fun

Tweet So, how did you do this last week? Were you able to be more intentional about fitting in a fun activity or creating a new craft with your kiddos each day? This week we discovered some new games – Zingo and Super WHY! ABC Letter Game – and we played some of our old [...]

Baby, It’s Cold Outside!

Tweet I know, I know… Christmas is over. But, the cold and wet weather is sticking around for awhile. Which means our energetic family – much like yours, I’m sure, unless you live in Florida – must turn to indoor activities to keep us busy and active. This last week was the most wet week [...]

Wintery Weather Fun

Tweet What words come to mind when you think of this time of the year? Maybe you live in Chicago and are snowed in, stuck at home with all your lovely and adorable kids. Cold. Bored. Or, perhaps you live in Southern California and your family still heads to the beach on any given day. [...]
