The Best Spaghetti Meat Sauce Recipe When I first met my husband we were in college in Utah and lived near a couple of his cousins. One of his cousins in particular loved to cook and invited us over to dinner on a regular basis. One of those nights he made us spaghetti. I’ll be honest, I’m not normally the biggest fan of spaghetti because often times homemade spaghetti sauce comes complete with my least favorite ingredient, onions....

Roll a Snowman Game If you’ve been reading my blog for more than a minute, you’ll know I love me some good dice games. From this dice gift exchange to this printable math dice game, I love using dice for games! I’ve already made a Christmas themed roll a Christmas tree game but thought it would be fun to make one that was a little more generic winter. And after making this fun Christmas train and marshmallow snowman for TikTok, I knew I wanted to now only do a printable roll a snowman game but also an edible one!...
One of my favorite things to do in Walt Disney World, especially if I’m just doing Disney World in a day, is to eat my way around the parks. From the cronuts in Epcot to Dole Whip in Magic Kingdom, I’ve tried pretty much everything there is to try in the parks, unless the ingredient list included onions. I even made a list of the best Disney World food! And the best Disneyland food....
A Spooktacular Halloween Scavenger Hunt All growing up my parents set up fun little scavenger hunts for us where they’d write out silly rhyming clues that would send us from one place to another on our way to the “grand prize.” They did it for Christmas one year all over the neighborhood and all sorts of other times when they wanted the gifts to be a little more special. I thought it would be fun to create this fun Halloween scavenger hunt that you can either play with your kids on Halloween along with some of these Halloween games or play with a bunch of kids at a Halloween party....
One of my favorite things about Valentine’s Day is all of the cute punny Valentine’s Day cards. My boys are both big fans of penguins (we even did an excursion last year where we got to hold baby penguins!), so I thought it would be fun to make some cute penguin valentine cards to give out to kids in their class this year! If you have any penguin lovers or animal lovers in your house, you’re going to love these adorable cards with their cute penguin cards!...
My grandma got my boys a subscription to Highlights Magazine for Christmas this year and one of their favorite things in the magazine is the hidden pictures section. They get through them quickly and are always asking for more, so I thought I’d create a St. Patrick’s Day one to put at the end of their St. Patrick’s Day scavenger hunt this year! This would be really fun to print out along with these St....
Tips to Host a Favorite Things Party What is a Favorite Things Party? The idea behind the party is based on Oprah’s Favorite Things shows where she talked about her favorite things and then gave the audience a copy of each one. Since I couldn’t give everyone a 7-day cruise (one of Oprah’s gifts), I thought I’d come up with a little surprise of my own well because I can’t just copy someone else’s idea exactly....
An Easy Saran Wrap Ball Game Every once in a while I play a game at a party that I know I want to change up and recreate for my own family. This spring we played a saran wrap ball game at my nephew’s birthday party that was basically just going around a circle, each person unwrapping one layer of saran wrap, and keeping whatever prizes were inside. The kids loved it, even my kiddo who was the first one to get an empty layer....
When I first got pregnant, everyone told me that being a mom would be a change and that it would be hard. It’s been just over two years since I had my son and I can tell you right now that motherhood is hard. It’s so worth it, but it’s hard, easily the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Last December I had a life-changing moment that included yelling, crying, and hiding under my covers for longer than ever before....
I love music and always have. When I was in high school I sang in all of the choirs possible including our very own high school show choir. It was nothing like the awesome acapella groups and show choirs now. We wore crazy sequin outfits and sang outdated songs. Even so, I loved it. And every time I go see a musical or watch a singing movie, it makes me want to get back into singing....
Easy Buffalo Chicken Dip If there’s one thing you know about me, it’s that I like easy recipes. From these mini calzones to these easy breakfast muffins – I like easy. This baked buffalo chicken dip is just that – easy. It is literally five ingredients just layered on top of each other and baked in one dish. Yep, I said one dish. That means clean-up is also easy. There’s a reason this dip is a staple at all of my family’s parties....
Black and White Party Ideas There is only one rule when it comes to hosting a black and white party – it needs to be black and white including the dress code! We did a black and white party with our friends a few years ago and this year are doing it again for New Year’s Eve. A black and white party makes the perfect party theme for an adult game night, a dinner party with friends, or this case a New Year’s Eve Party....
Easy Sausage Jambalaya Recipe If any of you have had a baby, you’ll know that the last thing you want to do immediately after is cook. This recipe was created the week after I had my little guy last year when nobody wanted to cook. Okay, who am I kidding? I never want to cook unless the recipe calls for at least a cup of sugar like this maple bacon Texas sheet cake....
