I love when the weather starts to warm up and you can finally start getting outside with the kids. It feels almost like getting released from jail… Not that I know what that actually feels like! 😉 But seriously, it’s a great feeling isn’t it?! Finally you can set them loose on the playground or…
Try this summer strawberry salad paired with grilled chicken, bacon and creamy poppyseed dressing. The kids will LOVE all these elements, even if you have to separate them on the plate! This strawberry salad has been my go-to lunch lately. Something about the sweet strawberries, salty bacon, and creamy tangy dressing make me want to…
I don’t need a lot for Father’s Day. In fact, my Father’s Day wish list is pretty low-key. Perhaps this is the sentiment of most dads on Father’s day, that we would much rather focus on our own fathers than we would ourselves. If I must be given something for Father’s Day then I guess I will break down and come up with a Father’s Day wish list. I have also thrown in a couple of “do nots” as well. My guess is while I don’t speak for all fathers out there, I would assume that most of us would be happy with one, a combination of, or if you are feeling spry, all of the following.
I love the Biblical metaphor equating faith to a seed. It is scattered a few different places, but Matthew 13 expands on the concept well (check out Alma 32 if you use the Book of Mormon). Explaining faith as a seed is such a magnificent way to help children understand an abstract spiritual concept. Cultivating faith, indeed choosing faith, is an important value that I hope to pass on to my children.

Hey Everyone, it’s Kimberly with Packed with Fun, the official blog for Get Away Today. As usual, I’m here to share some of my best tips and tricks for Disneyland. There is…
The way we view the world, situations, and our relationships ultimately determines our happiness. It is called perception. Have you ever heard the expression, “She looks at the world through rose colored glasses?” What does that mean? It means that a person looks at the world in a positive or “rosy” way. What if we looked at the world through Jesus, the Son of God’s, eyes? How would we view ourselves? How would we see others? Would it change the way we act and think? I believe it would.
Howdy! It’s Kathy from Beyond the Chicken Coop and I’m getting ready for grilling and picnic season! No matter what’s on your menu you always need some great side dishes to go along with the main course. This corn salad is one of my favorite go-to sides. It’s quick. It’s easy and it’s always a hit!
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!).
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!
Today Jessie is sharing a great road trip game for preschoolers. School’s out for summer and it’s time to hit the road! Hi everyone! Jessie back again. Perhaps some of you are big road trip fans like myself. I absolutely love road trips! I always have. However, until recently I had never gone on a…
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Disney. The opinions and text are all mine. Hey all! It’s Liv again. I don’t know about you, but I have mixed feelings about school break. My daughter just finished Kindergarten, and those few hours a day she spent at school were so good…
This recipe for honey lemon lime carnitas is a great set-it-and-forget-it kind of meal. Throw it in the crock pot before running errands or heading to the pool and when you return your house will smell amazing and dinner won’t be far off!
When it comes to your vacation, there are definitely some tricks for saving money at Disneyland. I’m Kimberly with Packed with Fun, the official blog for Get Away Today and I just barely returned (again) from Disneyland with my two kids. Let me tell you, the more kids you have, the more money you’re going to spend… but, you can still keep your spending in check with a little preparation.
