You’ll find a million tips, real-life experiences, and fun ways to prepare the family for their vacation.
On this coming Valentine’s Day, I plan to fold some origami hearts with little love notes inside and leave them everywhere for my daughter to discover.
Since my little love is still learning her A-B-Cs, I’ll be drawing pictures in the origami as well as using words she recognizes. To make this super easy for you, I’ve created a printable of the origami paper for you to download. It includes 6 rectangles to make 6 hearts. All you need to do is cut, write and fold. I plan to hide these all over the house – peaking out from under her pillow, taped to her toothbrush, stuck under her cereal bowl, attached to the seat belt of her car seat, hiding in her jacket pocket, etc.
It’s that time of year?? Anyone else still proudly kicking butt at their New Year’s resolutions? I hope so, it’s still January! So, recently I started thinking about all my favorite apps that I use to help me stay on top of things. Then, I asked the gals on Facebook about their favorites. I checked them out and now have some new favorites. Here’s a list of my top 10 productivity apps for helping you keep your goals (or New Year’s resolutions.)
Since it’s my first time to post here at Or So She Says this year, I want to wish you all a very happy New Year from Creative Carmella! We have enjoyed a lot of family time over the holidays and I have enjoyed having a little extra time to craft while the kiddos have been happily playing with all of their Christmas loot! Today I wanted to share a quick little makeover for a pair of winter gloves. We still have lots of cold days ahead of us but winter items are usually on clearance right now so stock up and create some one of a kind gloves to sport all winter long!
I can’t believe it’s already 2014! If there’s one thing I enjoy almost as much as Disneyland, it’s a Disneyland top 10 list. Yesterday, our contact David, from the Disneyland Resort, stopped by our office to remind our staff of all that there is to do at the resort. The review and tips he shared made me even more excited for my upcoming trip. So, in honor of the year 2014, Disneyland and top 10 lists, I have compiled my own version of 14 Reasons to Visit the Disneyland Resort This Year. Here they are in no particular order:
Happy 2014 everyone…hopefully it is off to a great start! After the holidays are done and the new year is upon us, I usually find that I have accumulated a pantry full of baking ingredients, haphazardly thrown onto the shelves in my haste to get everything done in those last crazy weeks of December. Then in January comes the resolution to be organized. But all of those ingredients! What is a girl to do but keep on baking? Today I am sharing a concoction that came together because I was trying to use up some of those pantry items so that I can get down to organizing. Please tell me I am not the only crazy person that does that…?
Toasted coconut and almond, chocolate covered, salted caramel matzoh candy. That’s a mouthful.
Has anyone else noticed, besides my family, that I haven’t been cooking as much?? It’s true. I totally agree with your responses, when I asked… we need to get more recipes on the blog! Everyone suffers when I’m on a diet. Just teasin, but I’m pretty sure at least once a week my kids will say, ‘Mom, do you fit into your jeans YET?!?’ They’re itching for some pancakes! Sunday is my ‘free day,’ and my kids don’t want me to make some never-made-before blog recipe, they want their old favorites. But we’ll compromise, and I promise I’ll get you (and me) some new recipes! …ya just gotta wait until my free day. EXCEPT for this recipe, Kale Chips. I could eat this any day of the week. It’s healthy, delicious, and a great snack. Even better, I’m not kidding… kids love it.

Hey again, it’s Tonii from Blue Skies Ahead. I am so thrilled to be back at Or so She Says…sharing another fun family night idea! I don’t know about you…but I LOVE the start of a new year. A clean slate, a chance to do anything you want and start fresh! I was really excited to do a simple activity with my kids to help them learn about goals and have fun making a visual that we could focus on ALL year long to remember what we want to accomplish in 2014.
First up I made this printable to hang in our home. I love this quote and have found it to be so true in my personal life. There is so much power in simply believing in ourselves!
Thin Mint Meets Oreo in these thin mint Oreo cookie treats! Get the taste of Girl Scout cookies without the extra pricetag. Check them out on the bog!
It’s almost New Year’s Eve and if you’re not thinking about hitting the hay, you may be thinking about some possible games to play at your party! I love easy group games that don’t require much prep. This game of Mr. Freeze is so simple and fun to play during dinner, whether with your family or a big group of friends.
Come check it out and stick around OSSS because I’ve got a whole slew of group games for you really soon!
I remember the first post I did, telling everyone that I’m a Mormon and inviting people to learn more about why I believe what I believe. It was scary! I don’t know why. My readers are the nicest, ever. But, it’s still a little unnerving to put yourself out there and open yourself up for mean comments/emails, and a potential loss of readers and advertisers. But, I knew it was worth it to me. It is because of what I know that I feel so much happiness, hope, and peace, and it feels kinda selfish to not at least offer it to others. So, with much anxiety, I clicked ‘publish,’ and I wasn’t turning back. I was waiting for the rude emails to come in, but they never did. Not once.
