With Easter, Earth Day, and Mother’s Day being so close together this year, I have flowers on the brain. And overflowing in my office but that’s another story. I shared these flower cupcakes (made out of jelly beans!) already but thought it’d be a great idea to share these cute no bake cookies too! This is one of these easy recipes that isn’t really even a recipe but more an idea and a fun one at that!...
I’ve always been a big fan of classic dirt cake so it’s probably not surprise that I’m sharing this fun Halloween dirt cake recipe today! It’s the perfect addition to any Halloween dessert table and a great treat for a Halloween night treat! Plus, it’s not just a Halloween graveyard dirt cake – it’s a poke cake too! Layers of pudding get literally poked into the cake to give the chocolate cake a delicious creamy filling!...
As a boy mom, my house has always been filled with things that go. Cars, trucks, trains, and even airplanes. If it moves, my boys loved it. I mean I even did a things that go party for my son when he turned two. That was such a long time ago and still one of my favorite parties! Pretty sure I could give out these valentines to every kid in my son’s school with Hot Wheels just from our playroom....
Christmas Movie Games One of my favorite things about Christmas is the Christmas movie season. Whether you watch the 25 days of Christmas on Freeform or watch the original movies on the Hallmark Channel or just watch all of the classics – for some reason Christmas means movies. I’ve shared tons of Christmas movie games in the past but this emoji one is still one of my favorites! With my Christmas movie bingo game being so popular, I thought it’d be fun to make another Christmas movie themed game....
As a boy mom, there are a handful of things that are constant in our lives. Dinosaurs, superheroes, cars, reptiles, and robots. Our house is filled with robots of every shape and kind – coding robots, battling robots, and even stuffed robots. I’ve already done car valentines, dinosaur valentines, and even Baby Yoda valentines, so I thought it would be fun to do a cute robot Valentine’s Day card that the boys can give out to their classes this year....
Personalized Mother’s Day Gifts Every year I search high and low for the perfect gift for my mom for Mother’s Day. I already bought her an e-book reader full of these books moms will love. And I’ve already given her the cutest grandson ever. This year I want to get her something more personalized and came up with a handful of options to choose from! These are just some of my favorites....
All you need for these fun kids birthday party games is some candy, ice cream cones, balloons, and players who are enthusiastic and ready to play! Hilarious Birthday Party Games A couple of weeks ago my sister and brother-in-law came down to Texas for a couple of days to celebrate our birthdays that are just days apart. My sister is just as fun-loving as I am and pretty much always up for anything, so I decided it’d be fun to put together a couple of birthday party games (could also use these for housewarming party) to play as a family....
We have a bunch of Star Wars fans in our house and other than watching all the Star Wars movies, we needed some other fun Star Wars party games to do for May the Fourth next week! One of our favorite things to do during dinner (or any other meal these days) is ask would you rather questions. From Disney would you rather questions to ones without themes, they’re a great distraction from everything else going on....
A few years ago we celebrated my dad’s 50th birthday with a little celebration and ever since I can’t stop thinking about all the things I would’ve done differently! So now I’ve put together a collection of super easy 50th birthday party ideas including 50th birthday games, decorations, food ideas, and more! The ideas are easy, universal, and great for celebrating any 50th birthday – no matter your theme or budget!...
We had the chance to check out the first night of Oogie Boogie Bash on September 6th, and I can’t wait to share all of the details with you! Oogie Boogie Bash is Disneyland’s version of a Halloween party! It’s a special ticketed event that happens on 24 select nights of the year from September 6th through October 31st, 2022 at Disney California Adventure Park. It’s a family-friendly way to enjoy all of the Disneyland Halloween fun while getting to enjoy exclusive opportunities, meet unique characters (or your favorite Disney characters), and more!...
Board Games for Adults I’ll be the first to tell you that I’m a board game addict. My parents have been getting me at least one board game for every holiday and my birthday since I was like 12. So let’s make up a batch of homemade Chex Mix and get to playing! Here’s a sneak peek what’s coming in this list of adult board games! Why Board Games for Adults?...
I’ll just admit it right now, I’m a sucker for young adult lit, especially dystopian young adult lit that includes a good love story. I used to read a ton before I had my son two years ago. I think I read the entire Hunger Games series in probably three days, but that’s another story. And then I took a three year break from reading all together. When I had a few days all to myself for my Southern Living trip, I finally read the Divergent series and fell in love with reading all over again....
If you haven’t figure it out already from my Easter bark and my mini egg cheesecakes that look like little nests, I like themed Easter treats. And these Easter bunny cupcakes are the one of my new favorites because they’re so simple to make but also just plain cute. Kind of like these fun carrot cake balls turned into bunny tails! I mean is there really anything cuter than a bunny?...
A few weeks ago I posted one of my favorite cut out sugar cookie recipes. I’ll be sharing another cream cheese sugar cookie soon but the main thing both have in common – they are better topped with sugar cookie icing! Sure, you could get some store-bought frosting to add to your cookies. But homemade icing is way better! Plus, you can pipe it on in all sorts of designs and fun colors!...
New Year’s Eve Trivia Games One of my favorite traditions each year is creating printable New Year’s Eve games based on pop culture, sports, and news events from the year. I’ve been creating New Year’s Eve trivia games for the last ten years, and they’re always a big hit for New Year’s whether you’re doing it in person or virtual this year! I like to put one in each of our New Year’s Eve countdown boxes and play all night long!...
Let’s face it – winter break can get really long. I don’t know about your schools but our kids here have almost three weeks off and that three weeks is a long three weeks. Most of our friends and neighbors will be traveling, so that means a lot of family time. Don’t get me wrong, I love family time, but I also love a little peace and quiet sometimes. These Christmas activity sheets are perfect for keeping little hands entertained while you need to get something done like make almond chicken for dinner or whip up a batch of these hot chocolate cupcakes!...

Out of the Blue Gift Box Ideas If you’ve ever heard of the different love languages, I’m totally a gifts person. Gifts, especially surprise ones, are my favorite way to tell someone I’m thinking about them. These out of the blue gift box ideas are a fun way to do just that – tell someone you’re thinking of them – with no specific occasion or reason. It’s even better than a birthday gift because it’s not something that someone will be expecting....
There are a few staples I have in my fridge at pretty much all times. Outside of the standard things like eggs, milk, cheese, butter, and orange juice – we always have a pack of crescent rolls or a crescent sheet. They’re great for when I’m craving something baked like these pumpkin cinnamon rolls or these mini cranberry orange bites but don’t have time to bake something totally from scratch....

The Best Gifts for Entertainers I host a lot of girls nights, parties, and family get togethers. A lot. And as someone who entertains a lot, I thought it’d be fun to put together a gift guide for women who like to entertain. But this isn’t your normal list of gifts for entertainers....
