With all of my other gift exchange games, I’ve had a ton of people email me and ask for a printable left right Christmas gift exchange poem. I’ve only ever played the game two or three times so never wrote my own poem up until now. But it’s a super fun game, so I thought it was time! And you know I like to rhyme, or you should if you’ve ever seen any of my scavenger hunt ideas!...

It’s almost Christmas time and that means we’re full on into the holiday spirit over here at my house! We’ve already played Christmas bingo, started our DIY advent calendar, and of course started playing the best Christmas songs all day long! And I can’t forget the Christmas treats. We haven’t done our Christmas cookie baking yet, but we’ve already feasted on some delicious Christmas goodies like these reindeer brownie balls, peanut butter snowballs, and homemade nutter butters!...
The holidays are about to be in full swing and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with some Christmas cookies! These caramel cookies are one of my favorite additions to a holiday treat plate! These, peanut butter blossoms, and Oreo truffles. They’re so easy to make and they taste amazing. I don’t actually know where the trend of making salted caramel cookies started, but I love it....
There are very few cookies that we make over and over again in our house. Chocolate chip cookies, cut out sugar cookies, and these snickerdoodles. My oldest son LOVES snickerdoodles, so I had to find the perfect recipe for him to enjoy. These snickerdoodles are everything a snickerdoodle should be – soft, fluffy, chewy (no one wants crispy snickerdoodles), and super easy to make. Plus, they only use ingredients that most people keep in their houses regularly – butter, eggs, sugar, flour – you get it....
I’m not normally a huge fudge person. I just find it to be too thick and rich most of the time. Well except rocky road fudge – I’m always a fan of anything rocky road. This white chocolate fudge is different than any fudge I’ve ever tried. It tastes more like a sugar cookie than fudge, and I absolutely love it. It’s definitely making it’s way onto our holiday treat plate along with these white chocolate cranberry cookies, Christmas tree brownies, and of course some Oreo truffles!...
There are a few Christmas party themes that always come to mind this time of year. Ugly Sweater, cookie exchange, white elephant gift exchange, Elf, and of course The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. I’m a big Dr. Seuss fan so I absolutely love all the fun colors and whimsical Who-things down in Who-Ville so it was a no brainer to make some fun Grinch brownies for this year’s Christmas treat plate!...
The Best Food at Disney World If you didn’t know already, I’m a bit obsessed with Disney. Walt Disney World Resort, Disney Cruise Line, Disney movies, and Disneyland. Anything Disney, I’m in. One of my favorite things about Disney is the food. Give me all the Mickey shaped food. And all the Dole Whips. I even have a collection of Disney food pins. It’s kind of the only thing I really collect, everything else in our Disney pin collection is kind of a mashup of everything my son thinks is cute....
A few months ago I tested out a whole bunch of different cookie recipes. Peanut butter blossoms, cut out sugar cookies, and even some chocolate chip pudding cookies. All of them are super yummy but out of all of the recipes that I tried, these Rolo cookies are the ones I still crave all the time. I haven’t made them since mostly because I ate the entire batch, with a little help from my neighbors and toddler....

I’ve already shared some fun Hocus Pocus cookies, spellbook brownies, and Halloween bookmarks that look like Winnifred, Sarah, and Mary so I thought it was about time to share my take on the black flame candle! This fun DIY craft will give you your own replica that’s perfect for spooky season and cheap too! It’s perfect for fans of the modern classic Halloween movie Hocus Pocus. And great for the upcoming sequel, the new Hocus Pocus 2!...
When we started talking about finishing our basement, we knew that there was one main thing we wanted to put down there – a climbing area for the kids. My toddler is a climber, to put it lightly. We wanted a place that was designed for him to climb. We also wanted to make sure that it was both a place where the kids could run and play but also relax....
Simple to put together, Star Wars lovers will absolutely love these fun Star Wars games you can play at home! For my son’s 4th birthday party, we did a Walt Disney World themed party. Since Star Wars is such a huge part of Hollywood Studios and the Last Jedi is coming out this year, I decided to recreate the Walt Disney World Jedi Training Academy experience for the kids at the party!...
I grew up on gummy bears. My dad always made sure we knew which ones were the best – the ones in the gold bag. Always the gold bag. When I saw a pack of cute gold pack gummy bears at the store the other day, I knew I had to make a printable bear valentine to share. Not sure I’ll actually be giving them out since I want to eat them all, but I am sharing the valentine!...
If there’s one thing that I love to create most, it’s scavenger hunts. There’s a reason there are over 50 scavenger hunt ideas on my site. I’m honestly not sure I like the scavenger hunt part as much as I just like coming up with silly rhyming clues. And I love seeing you all make and share the scavenger hunts with your family. Plus, I think they’re super fun to do with my own family....
One of my favorite things about the fall is all of the fall festivals, pumpkin patches, and Halloween parties. We love checking out each and every one in our area. Wagon rides, pumpkin picking, and trick or treating with my toddler may be three of my favorite things ever. So it probably comes as no surprise that I host a Halloween party each year. This year I combined my love of Halloween and fall festivals and hosted a Halloween carnival that’s perfect for kids of all ages....
Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars with a Graham Cracker Crust This is the first year we’re hosting Thanksgiving at our new home and as I was making food assignments, I realized that while I love dessert – I really don’t have that many Thanksgiving or even fall desserts. We always have this pumpkin crunch cake and striped delight of course. And I’ll likely make either these pumpkin cinnamon rolls or this cranberry orange bread for breakfast....
Cinnamon rolls are one of my favorite indulgences, especially for holiday get togethers. But they’re also great just for enjoying with the family on Sunday for brunch when you have a little more time than during the week. These bacon cinnamon rolls combine my love of cinnamon rolls with my love of sweet and salty foods (hello bacon wrapped dates). The bacon adds a nice crunch and salty edge to the sweet cinnamon rolls and together they’re just amazingly good....
The Best Strawberry Poke Cake I have a confession to make, I don’t like being hot. If it’s hot outside, I will just stay inside somewhere that there is air conditioning, which means I spend most of the summer inside. There is one thing that will get me outside during the summer and that’s a good barbecue or some good water games. I don’t know what it is about BBQs, but I love them....
This year it feels like I’ve been sharing a ton of things that work if you’re looking for virtual Christmas games (like this fun Christmas trivia game) or if you want something that works for people spaced around a room (like Christmas music bingo). But I feel like I’ve been missing the heart of my typical Christmas party games and where I started – hilariously unique games that will have everyone laughing....
