The game is simple enough, but don’t worry, I also created a set of instructions in case you get stuck. Everyone chooses a character. I just stuck stickers to coins (because they fit well on the game pieces), but you could easily use game pieces from any other board game as well. You’ll want to borrow a die from another board game (or just purchase one to go with this game)....

I’d put them on my list of favorite pumpkin recipes ever, along with this pumpkin crunch cake and these pumpkin blondies of course....
If you’ve read the book The Grinch Who Stole Christmas or watched any of the Grinch movies, you’ve probably heard of Who Pudding. It’s one of the three things we know all the whos down in Whoville eat – Who Pudding, Who Hash, and Who Roast Beast.

As my boys get older, they’re starting to enjoy printable word games more than coloring pages and stickers. Don’t get me wrong, those are both found in my activity bag often, but these days my oldest really likes things like word searches and crossword puzzles more! I’ve made tons of word searches in the past including everything from a back to school printable word search to a St. Patrick word search printable....

Bored Again? In the past six months, I’ve heard the words I’m bored from my son more probably in his entire life. I mean I get it, life was boring, but come on. We’ve got a million toys, every streaming service ever, shelves and shelves of books, and a super fun swingset in the backyard. Yet somehow he forgot all of those things as soon as he finished one thing. So somewhere along the way I came up with the idea to put a ton of things to do in a little jar and call it our boredom busters jar....

Only one week until Hocus Pocus 2 drops on Disney Plus, and I cannot wait to watch with my family! I already mentioned this yesterday when I shared these fun Hocus Pocus themed Halloween bookmarks, but I’ll be sharing a handful of Hocus Pocus themed ideas over the next few days to celebrate!

This post was originally written in partnership with Jones Dairy Farm and has been updated since originally posted. The Best Sausage and Egg Breakfast Casserole One of my absolute favorite meals of all time is this non-traditional Thanksgiving stuffing.

There are a lot of things that I’ve learned how to make fun. I’ve come up with fun reading activities, fun math games, and of course all sorts of indoor scavenger hunt ideas. I even made a virtual scavenger hunt – yeah indoor activities for kids I have covered! But one thing I’ve struggled with is how to make writing fun for my kiddo. I’ll be sharing some silly journal prompts next week to work on creative writing but for right now, this alphabet scavenger hunt will have to do!...
When my good friend McKenzie asked me to join in on a blog hop of all sorts of Disney gift ideas of course I said yes, I mean it’s Disney, and I’m in for Disney everything. The hard part was narrowing down what kind of Disney gift I wanted to make. I could make Disney shirts to give a friend, but I’ve already done that about a million times. Or maybe something Mickey Mouse like the favors from this Mickey Mouse party....
Is there anything better than homemade apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top? I mean maybe, but that’s pretty fantastic. It’s even better than apple crumble with fresh whipped cream or even caramel apple nachos with chocolate and caramel drizzles. I’m going to be honest – this apple pie recipe takes a quite a bit of time but a lot of that time is just waiting for the crust to chill and the pie to bake....
