When I was younger, I loved watching the Price is Right game show. My favorite game was always PLINKO, but I still loved watching all the others as well. Honestly, I’m a bit of a game show junkie. I love getting game ideas from game shows like these minute to win it games and this danger words game. I may not have the huge budget and production set they do, but it doesn’t mean I can’t still come up with fun Christmas games inspired by theirs!...

If the expecting mom loves active games, then these hilarious baby shower games would be a perfect fit. If the mom would rather just everyone sit and chat, then this baby shower bingo is great....

My boys have both loved dinosaurs ever since they were little, especially my oldest. There’s just something magical and mystical about dinosaurs I guess. Or maybe it’s just fun to roar like a dinosaur or stomp like a dinosaur. Or stop and take a rest when you reach your nest. I digress. With their dinosaur fascination, I knew I needed to make some printable dinosaur valentine cards that they could give out to their friends with the little toy dinosaurs my oldest son has been collecting for years!...

You all know I love dice games. From this viral dice gift exchange to these dice centered birthday party games, dice games are my favorite! With Easter being at home this year, I thought it would be fun to come up with a little Easter dice game that your family could play at home to make Easter a little more eggciting. As soon as my son saw this Easter dice printable, he immediately asked to play because mom, it looks like so much fun!...

I’m a big fan of anything to do with rainbows and candy. Roll a rainbow, chase the rainbow, rainbow donuts, rainbow cupcakes – you name it. This rainbow guessing game incorporates both into a fun and easy (yet challenging) game for all ages! Simply put – you’re trying to see who can guess what comes in a Skittles bag, color by color. Whoever guesses the closest wins! Play with the kids, play with a group of adults, add it to your favorite 1st grade learning games....

As we get to the end of the year, I can’t help but look back at everything that’s happened this year. It’s been a year alright. It was definitely the hardest year ever to make these New Year’s Eve trivia games. But along with all of the crazy that happened, there’s a lot of good that happened too. And I personally don’t want to forget that or have it be lost in the shuffle!...

If you’ve never played Scattergories, it’s pretty easy. In the actual game, you have a bunch of different category lists and a letter die. You roll the die then have to come up with words starting with that letter for the category lists....

When Cars 3 came out, we did these Cars activities. With The Last Jedi, we played these these Star Wars party games! With The Rise of Skywalker coming out in December, it’s about time for some more Star Wars themed activities!...

I’m a huge fan of dessert dips and easy recipes, and this Halloween themed marshmallow fruit dip fits both of those nicely! It’s perfect for your next Halloween party, any Halloween themed baby showers, or just to enjoy with some spooky after school snacks! I know I’m adding it to all of my holiday tables at this year’s classroom Halloween party! The kids will go absolutely bonkers over this creamy dip!...

7 Reasons to Go to Howl-o-ween at Great Wolf Lodge My family and I celebrated Halloween in 2017 at Great Wolf Lodge Grapevine TX during their Halloween celebration, Howl-o-ween. Howl because wolves howl, cute right? It’s the first time we’ve ever been to Great Wolf as a family, and it’s going to be hard to beat the next time we go because Howl-o-ween comes with its own set of fun, activities, and food!...

What Are Pillow Talk Questions? One of the biggest changes from being a married couple to a married couple with kids for us is the lack of time for just the two of us. Before my sons were born, all time was time for just the two of us. Now it seems like even when the two of us are alone, there are other things to do like dishes or laundry or catch up on the latest episode of the TV show we couldn’t watch live....

I’m one of those people who has a problem eating just one s’more. I mean are you really only supposed to eat just one? I personally like to eat a bunch. There’s a reason I’ve done things like a DIY s’mores bar and a s’mores charcuterie board at parties in the past. They both kind of encourage you to eat at least two s’mores and honestly as many as you want....

What if you didn’t have to choose between chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal cookies, and peanut butter cookies? What if you could just have them all? These monster cookies are the all in one cookie and so yummy! Monster cookies in my mind are pretty much just a soft and chewy cookie full of all sorts of different things. The two common mix-ins I always see with them are M&Ms and chocolate chips....

This was originally written as a sponsored post for Hershey. All opinions and ideas are 100% honest and my own! Post also contains affiliate links. Easter Search and Hunt Once upon a time I watched an episode of Amazing Race where the contestants were forced to knock down sand castles to try and find a clue buried underneath one of the hundreds of sand castles built on the beach. I used this idea to create three Easter games for kids that incorporate this same idea – picking a random option from a bunch of different options to try and pick the lucky one....

June 21st isn’t just the first day of summer, it’s also International Yoga Day. I’ll be the first to admit, I am not the biggest yoga fan. I can’t touch my toes so yoga is tough for me. I do, however, love a lot of things about yoga like the meditation aspect, stretching, and feeling strong as you hold a pose that you’ve been working on for months. And enjoying a better-for-you snack like goodnessKNOWS snack squares after a good yoga session....

Just over two years ago we first started using Vital Proteins’ products in our home thanks to my husband’s new found interest with podcasts and health food trends. I’ll be honest, before my husband asked me to buy some, I’d never heard of collagen peptides. And I would have told you there was no way that two years later we would be using collagen peptides in our home on a daily basis....

Who wouldn’t love a Christmas present scavenger hunt to find what Santa left them this year? Old-School Christmas Scavenger Hunt Some of my absolute favorite memories from Christmas mornings when I was growing up was when my parents would hide our big gifts at the end of a Christmas scavenger hunt. Sometimes they’d make it a little more complicated and send us around the neighborhood to different friends’ houses to get our clues....

We broke out all of the fall decorations this weekend, and I realized that I have a lot of fun candy corn decorations! And I realized that I made this fun candy corn treat like six years ago and totally forgotten about it! I updated this post to make it easier to make this for a crowd rather than using the pudding Snack Packs I originally used – now it’s good for making for a party easily!...

When we lived in Virginia, one of my favorite tapas restaurants had the most amazing bacon wrapped dates. I still to this day, even though we moved over four years ago, crave those dates. These aren’t those dates, but they’re still equally as delicious – just a little different. Those ones were breaded and deep fried, and I hope to recreate them at some point. These are bacon wrapped stuffed dates and the perfect appetizer for pretty much any party....

Disney’s newest animated film hits theaters last November, and I for one absolutely loved following along with 16-year-old Moana as she sailed out to sea in hopes of saving her people. I love that Disney is showcasing another strong young woman, one that’s labeled as athletic, nimble, compassionate, and incredibly smart. When I have a daughter some day, those are the qualities that I want her to have, so I’m excited to see Disney bring us a role model I can cheer for....
