Our lives are usually so scheduled that it’s hard to imagine what we will do if we are quarantined to our homes or even just stuck inside for a period of time. People in the North are used to being stuck inside for a few days during a winter snowstorm or short sickness. Actually, we…
In this post, I include directions for both the regular and Gluten-Free Resurrection rolls that I make with my kids each Easter. Making Resurrection Rolls is a tradition I have done with my kids since they were very small. I love hands-on learning and especially helping my kids understand Bible stories or why we celebrate…
This January we got to visit the Legoland Resort in Florida and the Legoland Theme Park! My 2 sons are huge Lego fans, so they were very excited to get to stay in the Legoland Resort with Lego-themed rooms, a special Monster-free, Lego-themed bunk bed area for kids to sleep in, multiple Lego-themed activities and…
Have you ever felt like you lived in a zoo? As a mom of two boys, I have felt like that often. This past week, we were able to stay at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, Kidani Village at Disney World, and I really did feel like I was living at a zoo! My boys loved…

If your kids are as big of LEGO fans as mine are then you and your family are probably always looking for LEGO sales too. Just a few years ago, it was very rare to see any sale on LEGO. Now Target and Amazon have started to have some pretty good sales, especially around the…

Thanksgiving is one of those holidays that tends to get overlooked, so I like to be sure to celebrate it with my kids and help them understand why we celebrate Thanksgiving. Tonight we’ll be watching Peanuts, “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving”, and we’ll probably…
You would have thought it was Christmas morning at my house today. I got a notification that Amazon had delivered the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid book to my house, and I had my 11-year-old son go check to see if it was there. He is a big Diary of a Wimpy Kid fan….
We try to do projects and fun things with our kids on the weekends. My oldest son Cole has been asking to make these chocolate truffles ever since he studied about Brazil a few weeks ago. He had gotten a Little Passports kit in the mail, and his subscription is the one with different countries….
