Normally we go with active baby shower games like these ones but sometimes I like printable ones instead, especially if you’re having a multi-generation baby shower....

Nature Scavenger Hunt for Kids One of our goals every day is to get outside as a family, whether it’s going on a walk, going hiking at a nearby park, or just playing outside. But I’ll be honest – my son sometimes struggles with wanting to get outside, even if we’re playing the most fun outdoor games. So I’m regularly having to come up with ways to keep him entertained while we walk so he forgets to mention that his legs are so tired or that he’s bored....

New Year’s Eve Time Capsule Activity While I absolutely love to play New Year’s Eve games at New Year’s Eve parties, it’s always fun to do other things as well. I mean you have all night! This activity is meant to be used as both a reflection of the past year and also a fun thing to use for next year’s New Year’s Eve celebration....

I’m a sucker for anything rocky road. It’s my go-to ice cream choice, my go-to brownie choice, and pretty much if there’s anything that’s rocky road flavored, I’m in. There’s just something about the combination of chocolate, marshmallow, and nuts that gets me every time. It’s kind of like s’mores. If there’s something s’mores (like these s’mores cookies), I’m also in. So that’s what you need to know about me – s’more and rocky road treats are the way to my heart....

Valentine’s Day Family Feud I’m a big fan of game shows and Family Feud is one of my favorites – mostly the classic ones but even the newer celebrity ones are okay. A few years ago I made a Christmas Family Feud game that was a huge hit and last year I continued the trend with these Halloween Family Feud questions and answers! I had one of my readers ask me to make Family Feud questions for Valentine’s Day because she had so much fun with the other two games – so here you go!...

And they do sell out, so I recommend buying when you see a deal and not waiting until later! If something on this list is no longer showing as a prime day deal, that means it sold out. You can see the full list of Prime Day deals right here! I went through the entire list of deals and put together one-stop shopping lists of some of our favorite things in particular categories!...

Is there anything better than the cranberry orange flavor combination? Most people eat it more often during the holidays, but it’s my personal favorite all year long! When I can’t get a good mocktail to drink, I get cranberry orange juice together. And when I have the choice of pastries, I always choose cranberry orange. One of my all-time most popular recipes is this delicious cranberry orange bread (5 star rating with over 40 reviews!...

One of my all-time favorite Christmas movies is Elf. I’ve written movie trivia games with questions about Elf, included the movie in my Christmas emoji game, it has its own space in our Christmas movie bingo, and it’s even an answer to one of my Christmas Jeopardy questions! But before now, I’d never done an Elf inspired recipe, and I have no idea why. It’s such a fun movie with all sorts of talk about sweets and treats!...

Fresh Snack Idea A couple of years ago I had fruit salsa for the first time. Someone brought it to a party with store-bought cinnamon chips, and I decided it was my favorite new way to serve fruit at a party. I’ve taken fruit salsa to parties more times than I can count, and it’s always a bit hit, especially when combined with homemade cinnamon chips! People love it at parties because it’s fruit but not just your typical fruit plate....

One of the best things about getting married was marrying into a whole new set of traditions. My family really only does Christmas bingo and the 12 days of Christmas. For Christmas every year my husband’s family gets together and has a Mexican feast. White chicken enchiladas, tamales, posole, and homemade sopapillas. It’s totally different from the typical ham (or prime rib) my family normally eats, and I love it....

Okay so if you’ve read my blog ever before, you probably know that I’m a huge fan of scavenger hunt ideas. Like huge. I’ve done tons of clue based scavenger hunts (get my Christmas scavenger hunt clues here!) as well as tons of what I call seek and find scavenger hunts. This year with it being what it is, I thought it’d be fun to add a generic seek and find style Christmas scavenger hunt to my collection....

Halloween Candy Hands A couple of years ago my niece was given a plastic glove filled with little candies, toys, and other goodies for Christmas from one of my sister-in-law’s friends. My niece was absolutely thrilled, and I knew I wanted to try out the idea with my own kids. We made these candy hands for the very first time last year for the entire neighborhood as the prize at the end of this Halloween scavenger hunt and to say they were a hit would be an understatement....

We did it! Yesterday was the last day of school, and we finally made it to summer after what felt like a really long year. I don’t think I’ve ever been more ready for summer! We’ve already made our summer bucket list, and I can’t wait to get to it! This summer break we’re going to relax, play, but still have a little structure so it’s not just screen time and video games all day....

Super Bowl Party Ideas Super Bowl is one of my favorite days of the year whether or not I actually like the teams playing! These football party ideas would work for any football game during the game including a Super Bowl party! Our party was entire families, but all of these ideas would work for just as adults too! They’re perfect for hosting your very own Super Bowl party, even if it’s just with your own family!...

Last year I shared these Christmas pinwheel cookies using red and green, and it got me thinking – what are some other popular color combinations I could use to make more pinwheel cookies. They have to be good for something other than just Christmas cookies! Red, white, and blue of course! It’s the perfect color combination of the upcoming July 4th holiday, and I just love how the colors come together in these cookies....

Harry Potter Activities My son is finally at the age where I’m about ready to introduce him to Harry Potter. I’ve read all the books and watched all the movies, and he think he’ll enjoy them! To say I’m excited it a bit of an understatement. I thought it would be fun to put together some Harry Potter games to do as we start reading the books. This Harry Potter charades game is just one of them....
