Sponsored by: shopDisney. All opinions and ideas are 100% honest and my own. If you haven’t been living under a rock, you’ve probably seen Disney’s 2021 hit Encanto and probably heard all of the songs. If nothing else, I’m sure you’ve heard someone say (or sing) we don’t talk about Bruno since the movie’s release last November. My family (and tons of others out there) is a bit obsessed. And for good reason – the movie has it all....

Sometimes you don’t have time to fit in an entire week-long trip to Walt Disney World. Or maybe you can’t afford it. Or maybe you just want to enjoy the magic of Disney in addition to spending some time in other places like we did. Whatever the reason, it’s okay to spend just one day at Walt Disney World. Walt Disney World generously gave us two free one-day park-hopper tickets for our trip and while we didn’t pay for tickets, the opinions and ideas in this post are completely honest and true!...

Note: While I was provided with some of these experiences for free to include in this post, all opinions are 100% honest and my own. Contrary to popular belief, Galveston, TX isn’t just a place to leave on Galveston cruises. With so many things to do in Galveston from an indoor rainforest at Moody Gardens Galveston to amusement rides for kids of all ages at Galveston Pleasure Pier, there’s enough to keep you busy for an extended vacation....

Even with a zillion toys and activities are home, kids still somehow get bored and need new things to do. And parents are always looking for fun indoor activities and other creative ways to keep kids entertained....

Tips for the Best Christmas Party Ever I absolutely love Christmas because of all of the holiday parties! Ugly sweater parties, white elephant gift exchanges, cookie exchanges, breakfast with Santa, and the list goes on and on. I’ve hosted quite a few Christmas parties over the past few years and learned a lot doing so. Today instead of giving you a specific Christmas party idea, I’m sharing my tips and tricks to host the best Christmas party ever!...

Is anyone else still shocked that kids are already going back to school? With last summer being like six months long, this summer fell so short. My oldest went back last week and while I was excited to get back into a routine, honestly, it was tough to say goodbye....

The Best Mother’s Day Gift Okay so I can’t take credit for this idea. My husband actually came up with this idea last year – probably after I’d hinted numerous times that what I really wanted for Mother’s Day was a day off from being mom. Don’t get me wrong, I love my kids. I love being a mom. And I’m sure all of the other moms out there do too, but being a mom is also exhausting, especially the past year....

Disney cruises are made for kids, and the Oceaneer’s Club on Disney Dream proves why. With its incredible itinerary of activities, safety precautions, and highly trained staff, the Disney Dream Oceaneer’s Club allows parents to leave their kids and enjoy a few hours to relax on their own. It’s excellent in every way and kids will absolutely love the Disney Cruise kids club! If you’re going on a Disney Cruise or considering one, make sure to check out all of the posts in my Disney Cruise series:...

They’re the perfect addition to any Christmas party, a Christmas dessert charcuterie board, or just as a sweet treat for Christmas morning! If you like pie, you’ll like these. If you like blueberries, you’ll like these. And if you just like adorable Christmas treats, you’ll like these too! My sister made them for a recent Christmas movie night, and they were gone in minutes!...

If there’s one flavor combination I can’t resist, it’s s’mores. Whether it’s s’mores bars, cookie s’mores, or even just making my own s’more at a DIY s’more bar, I’m kind of a sucker for the combo of chocolate, marshmallow, and graham cracker. That and rocky road, but I digress. I’ve tried a lot of s’mores cookies in my day and so many of them just fall flat. These cookies on the other hand have all of that s’more flavor you’re looking for, including the toasted marshmallow fluff on top!...

Do you guys remember those Chicken in a Biskit crackers back in the day? I honestly don’t know if they make them anymore but I remember when I was growing up my family almost always had them in the pantry. I personally thought they were gross but my mom and brother ate them by the handfuls. These chicken in a biscuit breakfast muffins really have nothing to do with those crackers other than I thought it was a fun name for this new egg breakfast muffin recipe, especially since they are basically eggs + chicken sausage all in a biscuit muffin....

There’s not much better than a sweet ripe watermelon on a hot summer day. And it’s that time of the year where watermelon is great! But no matter how big or small of a watermelon we get, my family somehow can’t eat it all. So we started making this yummy watermelon slushie as a way to use up all of that extra watermelon before it goes bad. And now it’s out favorite watermelon drink!...

Camping Fun My family loves to get outside and while we may not be the biggest camping family, we really like the idea of camping. And we’ve tried out lots of these indoor camping ideas this summer! And had a backyard campout at grandma’s house complete with a DIY s’mores bar, camping games, and a little round of camping charades around the firepit. This camping scavenger hunt is the latest in our camping activities....

With New Year’s Eve just around the corner, I thought it was probably about time to start sharing some new games for the year! I already posted my popular New Year’s Eve trivia games and New Year’s would you rather questions – and today it’s all about bingo! My favorite way to celebrate New Year’s Eve with kids is by doing countdown boxes like I did at this New Year’s Eve party....

Sponsored by: Cricut. All opinions are honest and my own. Earlier this week I sent out a survey to my email subscribers and asked them what they are looking for this year. One of the things that I heard a lot in the responses was themed days and one of those themes that came up a lot was outer space! I’ve been wanting to share some outer space party ideas ever since I made these DIY planets years ago....
