Aspen was an only child for almost four years, and she was pretty spoiled having all my attention almost all the time. When her brother, Lincoln, was born, we made a special effort in our family to ensure she didn’t suddenly feel left out. In the *almost* two years since Lincoln was born, I occasionally have little dates with just Aspen. Today I’m sharing a list of 10 Mommy and Me date ideas that you’ll want to check out!
Hello! It’s Kathy, from Beyond the Chicken Coop! My daughter and I love cooking together. We’ve made egg rolls a few times in the past and she was having a craving for them recently. We decided to bake these instead of deep frying them. Baked egg rolls are just as delicious and there’s no messy frying oil to deal with.
Hello again! Jessie here. I don’t know about your family, but my kids can’t get enough of being outside now that the weather has warmed up. They basically want to live out there. So today I’m sharing some super fun and simple outdoor games to help your preschooler practice letters while enjoying the sunshine (and cooling off with water toys!).
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!
One of the most important principles that Jesus taught his disciples was to love. We are not only to love our family and our friends, but to love all of God’s children. Even when they are different than us. Even when they do not act like we think they should. God loves us all so much, so we too must love and forgive each other–without judgement.
Although I’m now the mother of 9, what many people don’t know is that I struggled with infertility for many years. I physically had my first child when I was 38 years old. Needless to say, I experienced many hard and painful Mother’s Days.

The moms (and one Mr. Mom) in The Mother’s Day movie come from different walks of life and they, too, have to reconcile their personal approach to parenting with that of others. They have to contend with blended families, feelings of inadequacy and rely support of others when life doesn’t go as planned. I can’t wait to see it in theaters for a girls’ night!
Service rarely takes convenience into consideration. No, it is a fact that in most cases, service is highly inconvenient. I admit that too often I thought of the inconvenience of the service I was providing Deanne’s grandfather, Sherman, over the last eight plus years.
You could spend a fortune purchasing Mickey and Minnie Ears for the whole family, or you could make your own for a fraction of the cost. They’re really easy to make, and it’s fun to be able to personalize each set!
This is something we ate growing up, so eating it always makes me feel a bit nostalgic. Lu concocted this amazing garlic chicken sauce as a refreshing change from the customary of chicken soup that is often used in Hawaiian haystacks. Speaking of haystacks, what do you call this dish? When my husband’s family says “haystacks” they are referring to what I call “frito chili pie/walking tacos”. I’m just going to call it delicious.
I’ve been thinking about Mother’s Day lately. I don’t know about you, but I always struggle with ideas to do for my mom. If you look on Pinterest, there are so many fun ideas that you can do with your little kids for Mother’s Day. But, to be honest, those aren’t the ideas I’m needing help with. I need help with ideas for MY OWN mom. If you were to ask her what she would like, she will never tell you anything. But, this year I’ve come up with a fun Mother’s Day gift idea and I’m so excited to share it with you!
