My boys are both obsessed with frogs (poison dart frogs to be exact), so I thought it would be fun to make some frog valentine cards this year to go along with their obsession. One of the hardest things about Valentine’s Day, especially with having boys, is finding cards that aren’t too girly, too romantic, or too cheesy that they just don’t make sense. We sometimes will buy valentines from the store but more often than not, I’ll just design and print some that match my boys’ interests that year....

From my viral dice gift exchange game to this roll a Christmas tree game, dice just adds an element of luck and randomness to every game. There’s a reason I have a ton of dice games on my site and a reason that people love them so much!...

Printable Roll A Pumpkin Game I’m a big fan of dice games. And so are my kiddos. Ever since we played these birthday party games with dice, my son loves rolling dice as part of a game. Any game. I’ve since made a roll a dinosaur game, roll a unicorn game, roll a first aid kit, and even roll a rainbow game. And this dice gift exchange game is still one of my most viral posts ever....

Why is it that Reese’s peanut butter eggs are so good? I mean I’m a big fan of Reese’s in general (especially when they’re on this Reese’s peanut butter pie), but there is just something special about the chocolate covered peanut butter eggs that just show up at Easter time! They have the perfect combo of chocolate and peanut butter to create something truly delicious. Recreating those peanut butter eggs was not an easy feat....

While we received complimentary meals at all of these locations, those complimentary meals had no bearing on these recommendations. All opinions are 100% honest and my own! During our recent trip to Napa Valley, we had the chance to try out some of the most amazing Napa Valley restaurants! Eating was definitely one of the best things to do in Napa Valley! These are our favorites from the trip – definitely not to be missed!...

I love to read and I remember when I was a kid there were two different series of books that I read pretty much all of: Baby-Sitters Club and Goosebumps. So when the Goosebumps movie with Jack Black came out last year to say I was excited was an understatement. One of my favorite things to do is to plan parties based on my favorite movies (and books), so to celebrate the release of Goosebumps on DVD today, I decided to host a Goosebumps themed party last week!...

Okay, I’ll come right out and say it – I hate the two truths and a lie game. It’s the most overplayed getting to know you game ever, and it’s my least favorite. I also hate coming up with unique facts about myself, so you can see why I don’t really love the game two truths and a lie. But I do love the idea! So I came up with a way to take the idea of having two truths and a lie and turn it into a game that I love....

One of my favorite things about Valentine’s Day, other than all the fun Valentine’s Day games, is the cute Valentine’s Day food! All things heart shaped, sweet, and colorful, I love them all! This layered Jello dessert takes all of those things and put them into one fun Valentine’s Day dessert full of layers of jello, creamy whipped cream, all with a little fruit and sprinkles on top. It’s everything people love about Valentine’s Day in one pretty package!...

I love me a good dessert board. And a good breakfast board. Really anything sweet on a board works for me, sweet or savory actually. This caramel apple board idea is just a fun way to create an at home caramel apple bar but using caramel apple slices instead of caramel apples because at the end of the day, you always cut up caramel apples to eat them anyway. Or you should – they’re way better that way!...

As the mom of boys, I don’t typically get to do the princess thing. I remember being totally thrilled when my niece came to Disney World with us because it meant I finally could try out the princess Disney character dining that my boys had no desire to do! We typically end up doing things like Jedi training and superhero games instead. But I love Disney princesses and all that they stand for – kindness, bravery, going after their dreams, etc....

I was provided with free meals and experiences by Disney in exchange for this post. All opinions and thoughts are 100% honest and my own. The Best Places to Eat at Disney World? Do you know how many Disney World restaurants there are across the parks, resorts, and Disney Springs? I don’t, but I know there are a ton. Most of the time when I’m at Disney World, we eat at one of the restaurants that offers Disney character dining meals because we’re there with my kids....

Healthy Side Dish I don’t remember the first time I tried brussels sprouts, but I’m pretty sure they were awful. Brussels sprouts are one of those things that when cooked wrong, they’re just gross. Luckily these air fryer brussel sprouts are pretty much fool-proof as long as you remember to watch them while they’re cooking! Making them is as simple as cut, season, cook, and cheese! Because cheese deserves it’s very own step in any recipe....

This past weekend I hosted an outer space party for kids to celebrate the launch of the new Disney Imagicademy Mickey’s Magical Math World app. Kids will love the app and these fun outer space party ideas! My family loves Disney. When my toddler was tiny, I would turn on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and he would get this huge grin on his face and just sit there and watch the entire episode without moving....

One of my favorite holiday traditions is putting together a holiday treat plate. Or at least making Christmas cookies with my family to eat together. Pretty sure it’s a tradition of most families whether it’s making holiday cookie plates or even just making cookies for Santa. And I like to keep my Christmas cookies as simple as can be. Like my 4-ingredient Andes Mint cookies and these homemade chocolate cherry cookies....

I know I personally have been sharing all sorts of Halloween witch crafts (hello Hocus Pocus crafts like these Hocus Pocus bookmarks and DIY black flame candles) and witch themed recipes like these cauldron cupcakes and these witch hat cookies! I mean even my Halloween Family Feud game was skewing toward witchy answers – probably because the easiest Halloween costume ever is a witch. When I was looking up Halloween trivia questions, apparently it’s actually the #1 most popular costume for adults!...

Printable Super Bowl Squares Game When I was working full-time my office would always do a little Super Bowl Squares game for Super Bowl Sunday. I’m not the only one. It’s one of the most popular things to do on Super Bowl Sunday! I mean other than eat all the spinach artichoke dip and chili (you’ve gotta try this Cincinnati chili recipe if you haven’t already)! It’s a fun game that keeps things interesting for everyone even if your team isn’t playing or your team isn’t playing well....

I’m a huge fan of scavenger hunts if you couldn’t tell from my Christmas scavenger hunt, my birthday scavenger hunt, and my Halloween scavenger hunt. Or any of the other ones I’ve created for all the holidays so far. So it’s funny. I actually created this scavenger hunt for my oldest son, but you could easily use it for a boyfriend, husband, or significant other as well. There’s nothing really that makes it kid specific so feel free to use it for whoever for Valentine’s Day!...

What do you think when you heard the word wassail? Do you think of the song about going wassailing or do you think of a warm, flavorful, and aroma filled drink like this one? It’s both but in all cases, it’s a fun holiday tradition! (And it’s the answer to one of my Christmas Jeopardy questions!) I personally love wassail and make it every year. Sometimes I use different recipes but it’s almost always the same staple flavors – apple, orange, cinnamon, and other holiday spices like cloves....

Splatter Paint Party Ideas Paint Party Ideas: Decorations When everyone arrived, they were greeted with a cute splash zone sign on the front door, warning them of the messy fun ahead. Isn’t this sign so cute? All of the printables from the party were designed by Swish Printables. A good party starts with yummy food, and we had plenty of it. Since the party was for 2-4 year olds, I specifically picked out food items that I knew were good for that age group....

For my Disney outer space party a couple of weeks ago, I knew I wanted to hang planets from the ceiling. But I didn’t just want regular planets, I wanted massive ones! I ordered some 36″ balloons from Celebration Lane and some hula hoops from Target and turned them into my favorite part of the party table! Here’s how I made them. Supplies: 36″ balloon hula hoop (make sure to buy one that will fit around the balloon) clear fishing wire Command Brand party ceiling hooks Instructions (recommend you do this with two people) Step 1 – Have one person hold the hula hoop at the approximate height you want them to hang....
