Crayola Color Wonder Mess Free Art ~ Giveaway (she: Liv)
When my little artist first started exploring the world of color, she had Color Wonder markers and paper. The markers are all white, but magically transform from colorless to colorful when they touch the special Color Wonder paper. And it’s not like those old coloring books I remember having as a kid- the kind where you only have one marker and you use it to reveal the color already on the paper. Crayola has a huge selection of markers, coloring pages, plain paper and even finger paints. Crayola sent some of their new products for me and the kids to try, and they’re so great for mess-free art!
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Food Storage Planning (she: Liv)
It can be expensive to purchase fresh foods year round, and that’s why I love having a pantry, or “cantry” (can + pantry) at my disposal; I know I’ll always have some backup fruits and veggies on hand for when the farmer’s market finally closes up shop for the season (any day now, right?!). In case you’re like me and often feel overwhelmed about planning food storage and then actually organizing it at home, I’ve rounded up some links so you can have easy access to advice for keeping your food storage. You’ll find downloadable spreadsheets, products, and DIY ideas for storing your canned goods and more right here in today’s post. Check them out and get your cantry stocked!
November 2016 Visiting Teaching Printable ~ Easy to Share! (she: Jeri)
As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we are in a congregation where we are asked to go and visit assigned ladies each month to really get to know them, share a quick message and find out if they have any needs to be met. It’s one of the ways we build friendships and help our leaders know any needs that families have. For those of you who aren’t members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I hope you can use these quotes and scriptures as well. Most of the subjects are universal Christian subjects and the quotes and scriptures are inspiring and helpful for everyone!
How Going Back to School Made Me a Better Mom (she: Liv)
I’m grateful for the opportunity to nurture this dream and make it a reality. I know I can be a stay-at-home-mom and a student without failing either role. When I fill my own bucket, I have more to give to my family. And I feel good about the example I’m setting to my children!

Work Space Makeover for Under $75! (she: Liv)
I recently moved my laptop into my basement “office” and the area needed SO MUCH HELP. It’s also the guest room, the room where we have a piano, and the room in which we’ve set up the electric trains so I’m not always tripping over them upstairs. It’s been a bit of a disaster trying to work amidst all the clutter the last couple of weeks. Working with DaySpring Christian Celebrations to specifically find items to enhance my work space with uplifting messages is just what I needed! It motivated me to take steps toward really making the desk space conducive to my work needs.

Popsicle Invitations – Simple and Almost FREE to Make! (she: Liv)
My daughter’s been attending swim lessons in the late morning while my son and I watch from the sidelines of our local indoor pool. It’s hot and humid while we wait, but it’s better than having to slather everyone up with sunscreen and sit in the sun at the outdoor pool. But even with the benefit of being inside, when we get home the first thing my son says is “WE’RE HOME!” followed by “Eat a Popsicle?!” It’s lunch time when we get back from swim lessons, but since it’s so. stinkin. hot. lately I almost always indulge the kids and let them start their meal with the original summertime treat. That’s why I’m so glad I get to partner with Popsicle today and share our experience with some of the new flavors they’re tucking into that iconic yellow box this summer.

What is Visiting Teaching? As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we are in a congregation where we are asked to go and visit assigned ladies each month to really get to know them, share a quick message and find out if they have any needs to be met. It’s one of the ways we build friendships and help our leaders know any needs that families have (there would be too many for leaders to visit them all individually!).

3 Ways to Make Shopping at Walmart Better (she: Liv)
These days, with two kids, shopping can be a huge challenge. Whether it’s for groceries or household goods, I hate securing everyone in the car, lugging them in and out of stores (which is no fun for them, right?!), searching for things on my lists, all the while trying to keep track of everyone. That being said, I love a store like Walmart that has everything I need in one place.
