15 Picks to Celebrate the Trolls Movie! ~ She Picks!

ByMariel

Are your kiddos excited about the Trolls movie too?!? Not only are mine excited, but I am too. We’re always looking for a fun movie to take the whole family too, and Trolls looks perfect! I remember playing with my Aunt’s troll collection when I was like 8 years old and being flabbergasted by their nudity, but obsessed with their hair. 😉

Anyway, so I was thinking a Trolls party would be super fun, especially if you could take the whole clan to see the movie together, when it comes out on November 4th. I found some awesome party printables, as well as just some super cool Troll products that would make awesome gifts.

It's the time of year to start thinking of giving! Today Rachel has some insight on how to plan a food drive, and it's perfect to get the whole family involved in a good cause. Read all about it at www.orsoshesays.com.

How to Plan a Food Drive (she: Rachel)

ByRachel D

This season is a busy time, but don’t let the chance to plan for meaningful projects slip by. It’s a great time of year to plan to give to others, from drawing names for a family “Secret Service Santa” game to a Random Acts of Kindness campaign. This year I’m helping out with a canned food drive with friends from work, so I thought it timely to share a post on how to plan a food drive.

Feeling overwhelmed thinking about food storage? Today's post has everything you ever wanted to know about food storage planning. Check out the ideas on www.orsoshesays.com today!

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Food Storage Planning (she: Liv)

ByLiv

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)

ByLiv

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!

16 AWESOME Marvel and DC Comics Bedroom Picks ~ She Picks!

ByMariel

My two youngest boys are both dreaming of a Marvel and DC Comics bedroom. I can’t promise that it will happen, but we’ve had a lot of fun checking out all the cool products and handmade goods out there. These are our most favorite, non-cheesy, non-cheap-looking favorites… because you know, sometimes character products tend to lean that way. I’ve included a couple items for baby too, because a Marvel & DC Comics themed nursery would be so rad.

Chicken Yakisoba ~ A One-Dish Wonder! (she: Leesh & Lu)

ByLeesh and Lu

Sometimes we get stuck in a dinner rut and eat the same things week after week. This meal helped pull us out of our rut and it was refreshing to try something new and have it be well received by the whole family (including the 18-month old!). I can’t say I’ve ever had Japanese Yakisoba before, so I can’t speak for the authenticity of this dish, but I can speak for the deliciousness!
