2021 UPDATE: When Disneyland reopens April 30th, many of the restaurants on this list will not be open. I have left my favorites from previous Disneyland visits on this list if I think they will eventually come back as more restaurants open. You can find a full list of what will be open during your visit here. Disneyland Food: The List You Have to Try If you only have a small budget or a short amount of time, here are the things you have to try during your next visit to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Park....

My family loves football. Okay, my husband loves football and I love football because he does. And because the Chiefs are awesome. I also love throwing a fun football party. I made my very own DIY nacho bar a few years back that was football themed, but it’s definitely not the only time that a nacho bar would work! How about Cinco De Mayo that’s coming up next week? A nacho bar is a perfect option for a Cinco De Mayo party....

Whether you’re hosting a high school graduation party, celebrating your favorite college graduations, or even just a fun kindergarten graduation playdate (hello water games!), you can use any of these great graduation party decorations to celebrate your grad in style! I’ve got everything from DIY graduation decorations to ones you can order online and just put up when they show up! They’re for kindergarten to high school graduates, no matter the party theme!...

I made a handful of t-shirts (like these awesome Hunger Games shirts), cut out vinyl for my son’s 1st birthday party, and basically let it collect dust in my craft room because every time I tried to use it, it took like 10x as long as I had to finish the project....

Is it really Christmas without Little Debbie Christmas tree cakes? They’re one of my favorite Little Debbie snack cakes, right up there with a good Star Crunch and Swiss Roll Cake! So I thought it would be fun to turn them into a dip so everyone can enjoy the flavors of Christmas tree cakes in a yummy holiday dessert! This Christmas tree cake dip is a delicious Christmas dessert that will have everyone asking for more....

This coconut chicken recipe reminds me of the sweet flaky outside on the coconut shrimp from Red Lobster just on chicken instead of shrimp. The outside is made up of flavorful spices plus sweetened coconut, making it great for the entire family!...

If you’ve followed my blog for very long or maybe followed me on Instagram or TikTok, you may have heard about all of the candy cane games we played our candy cane Olympics earlier this year. I’ve been a bit candy cane obsessed this year and I’m not just talking about things like these peppermint chocolate thumbprint cookies, I’m talking real candy canes. So it’s only fair that I share these candy cane cookies....

I made DIY t-shirts, printable games, labels for my pantry, and so much more. Plus I’ve done science experiments, colored way too many pictures, and cut out a lot of shapes with my Cricut....

The Greek chicken marinade on these lemon chicken thighs is so flavorful and delicious both kids and adults will love it! Pair it with with lemon potatoes or Greek salad for one easy weeknight meal the whole family will enjoy. While this post is sponsored by ABSCos, all opinions and ideas are 100% honest and my own. Easy Baked Lemon Chicken Thighs Recipe Last year when I was doing Whole 30, we lived on chicken recipes....

I know it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but I am all over Christmas mode this year. Maybe it’s because so many Christmas festivities were cancelled last year or maybe it’s because well I just love Christmas cookies. This week we introduced my youngest to The Grinch and watched all three of the Grinch movies. I had no idea it was one of the most popular Christmas party themes but apparently it is....

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the biggest fan of cooked fruit. While I’ll eat apple pie (especially if it’s this apple pie recipe), I’d much rather have striped delight or Reese’s peanut butter pie. I typically like my fruit cold and my veggies warm. The exception is berries (I love me some berry pie) so it’s probably no surprise that I’m sharing an easy berry cobbler recipe....

I may be the outlier, but I personally love it when people serve a fresh fruit platter at parties! Vegetable trays not so much, but I love being able to grab some fruit alongside all of the yummy desserts and snacks! It’s even better when people serve fresh fruit and a homemade fruit dip like this one. I’ve tried a lot of fruit dips – both homemade and store bought – and this is still my personal favorite....

Today continues with my series of simple Halloween crafts! I’ve already shared a popsicle stick Frankenstein craft, a Halloween bat craft made with popsicle sticks, and most recently, a popsicle stick witch craft! So it only seems fitting that today I share how to make a cute vampire craft with popsicle sticks! He’s almost as cute as this vampire paper bag craft I shared last week! I love making simple crafts with my boys during the Halloween season because they’re obsessed with Halloween decorations and crafts in our house turn into decorations every time!...

One of my favorite parts about Easter (other than the obvious religious parts of it) is Easter candy. And Easter egg hunts, but that’s a totally different post. I love all of the different varieties of candy eggs, marshmallows, little bunnies, and of course Peeps. While I may not personally love Peeps, I do think they’re really fun and a nice addition to the holiday. I even made an Easter candy bingo game that uses all my favorite sweets!...

My family loves games. Board games, party games, trivia games – you name it. Every night at dinner my oldest son asks if we can play a game – literally every single night. We also love dice games. The problem with dice games is that I also have a toddler who really likes to put little dice in his mouth. And one of these days putting it into his mouth is going to turn into accidentally swallowing said dice....

If you’ve been on my blog before, there’s a good chance you were here for one of my scavenger hunt ideas. It’s kind of my jam. I grew up writing rhymes and silly poems so writing scavenger hunt clues is one of the most fun things I do for my site! And I love sharing them with other people who may either not be as obsessed with coming up with creative rhymes or may just be too busy to do it!...

While I could hang out at the beach every day all day (my bag is always packed with the items on my beach vacation packing list just in case), I know not everyone is like that! I created this printable beach scavenger hunt for younger kids who maybe get bored of digging in the sand all day. It’s similar to my summer scavenger hunt but beach item specific. And if you’re not headed to the beach, this is also great for parents who want to do a beach themed day or activity at home because they can’t actually get to the beach on a family vacation this year....

We’ve been doing one of these Christmas activities for families every day as part of our Christmas countdown. The theme for yesterday’s activities was “Sleigh Ride,” and for our activity we chose to go on a car ride looking for holiday lights....
