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.
“When you plow a field, make certain your first row is straight. If the first row is straight, then all the following rows are most likely to be as well. The same can be said for plowing the rows of your life, keep the first row straight, and the other rows will follow suit”. I suggest that Sherman was referring to our first row being our discipleship of Jesus Christ.
I thought it would be fun to create a Disneyland Vacation Journal to help capture experiences from a vacation in a child’s perspective. I designed a bunch of fun kid-friendly templates with themed writing prompts to help give kids a jumping off place for recording their experience. There are also several blank photo pages so they can glue in photographs, ticket stubs, maps, receipts, etc. These books are easy to make and simple to use! I hope you enjoy them and they keep a magical record of your children’s Disneyland Vacation forever!
Since my kids love helping in the kitchen, I thought it would be fun to let them help put together a fun and healthy snack. I had some yummy summer fruit in the fridge and decided fruit kabobs would be fun to make with the kids. I didn’t have any skewers but I had toothpicks, so mini fruit kabobs it would have to be. And they loved it!!
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.
Birthday season is upon us! At least in my family it is. We have a birthday in April, June, July and August. We eat cake for months! If you are going to eat cake that frequently, you should probably have a killer frosting recipe to go with it. So today, I’m sharing the best birthday cake frosting recipe! It pairs perfectly with birthday cake and you can make it to the consistency of your liking. Double win!
Mixed Berry Tiramisu is a fresh, summery take on a classic. Hello again! It’s Mara, back from Put on Your Cake Pants. For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved fruit. I remember saying as a teenager that I would become a fruitarian if I could—but it’s a good thing I never tried, since…
