With all of the awesome superhero movies that have come out over the past few years, it’s no surprise that my son loves superheroes. Dresses up like them. Plays video games inspired by superheroes. Plays with action figures. Plays board games inspired by superheroes....
I’m always looking for easy desserts, especially ones that I think will go over well with both kids and adults. And ones that are easy to make for a crowd. This mini Kool Aid pie recipe achieves both of those things. While Kool Aid pies are typically served in the summer, I’m sharing it now in case you want a different type of pie to bring with that no bake pumpkin pie for the holidays!...
I love Christmas. Love everything about it. Singing the best Christmas songs, doing Christmas activities with my family, and my favorite – adopting a family to surprise with 12 days of Christmas gifts. And you know I love my Christmas party games. But one thing I need to be better about is bringing Christ back into Christmas, since that’s what it’s really all about. Santa and Frosty the Snowman are fun and all but at the end of the day, we’re celebrating Christ’s birth....
If you’re a parent you already know that getting kids to just sit for a while is tough. Whether it’s for a meal, traveling, or honestly just during the day to take a break for a minute – it’s hard. I made these activity placemats when my son was a little younger, but we still use them today! I’ve used them for meals at home, meals at restaurants, on airplanes (one of my favorite tips for traveling with toddlers), in the car, and even just to entertain my son on a rainy day....
Christmas Eve Bingo Game One of my favorite family traditions is playing bingo Christmas Eve. The tradition started before I was even born in my Dad’s family, and it’s been going on for as long as I can remember anytime we’re with my family for Christmas Eve. It’s not Christmas Eve without a few Christmas party games, a pair of new Christmas pajamas, family gathered all around with their bingo cards, and a fire in the fireplace....

Thanksgiving Scavenger Hunt One of my favorite things to do with my son is a scavenger hunt. You know one of those things where you’re given a clue that leads to a location with another clue and you keep going and going until you find the end of the hunt? My family did them all the time growing up, and I’ve continued the tradition starting with my Halloween scavenger hunt and now this one....

I love me some cranberries. Fresh cranberries like in my cranberry orange muffins, dried cranberries like in the best stuffing ever, and even sugared cranberries. I know some people aren’t a fan, but I love when the holidays come around and I get my hands on all the cranberries! These white chocolate cranberry cookies are technically a holiday cookie with the addition of the cranberry flavor (and they make a great addition to a Christmas cookie plate), but you could easily enjoy them all year long!...
One of my absolute favorite treats are rice krispie treats – homemade rice krispie treats that is. I’ll take the store-bought ones too, but the ooey gooey homemade ones are my downfall. You make me a batch of those and pretty sure I’m eating the entire pan on my own, well if my boys would let me at least. It’s even worse than when I get a plate of peanut butter blossoms....

If you’ve ever had monkey bread, these monkey bread muffins are like a little muffin version of those. If you’ve never had monkey bread, you should totally try my pineapple monkey bread (and also these muffins). Monkey bread typically uses biscuit dough cut up into small pieces. The biscuit pieces are then baked together and covered in some sort of topping – often melted butter and cinnamon sugar but sometimes other things....
