Today we have a quick, easy, and family-friendly salmon recipe baked to perfection for you. With the new year comes new resolutions and many of us are trying to eat and feed our families more nutritiously. This recipe is a great one to get kids eating fish. The creamy Parmesan mixture makes it oh-so-tasty and really, who doesn’t love cheese?!
Happy 2016 my friends!! Just like many of you, I was so ready for a new year to begin! There’s something exciting about the chance to start fresh. As 2015 came to a close, I spent time thinking back over the year and really wanted to set some new goals. Then one day shortly after…
Today, I’m delivering a daily installment of Cinnamon Puff Rolls. a.k.a. Cinnamon Cigars or Cinnamon Puff Pastry Rolls. Cinnamon Cigars doesn’t sound very appetizing does it? Who’d want to eat a cigar? Eww! These Cinnamon Puff Rolls are ridiculously quick and easy to make. Just a case of whisking a small amount of dry ingredients together and sprinkling over the dough, rolling the dough up, and baking – hey presto!
I really don’t care too much for New Years. It’s not just that we have yet another reason to over-eat (which I always do), stay up late (which I am having a harder and harder time doing), or deal with the nuclear fallout which are my grumpy kids (and their grumpy parents) the day after. It’s the whole New Year’s resolution forum I hold in the highest disdain as well. In fact, I have boycotted the whole institution of resolution making for the last several years. I just can’t see why I should set goals that I most likely will not have the will-power to achieve.
My wildest dream is coming true and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is opening on the west coast at Universal Studios Hollywood on April 7, 2016!

Christmas is over, the new year has begun, and if your house is anything like mine, the sugar and toys have taken over. Time for a few post-holiday activities to get you and the kiddos back on track, while still having fun of course. Check out these 4 post Christmas activities to help start your new year off right:
This Family Night Lesson is to help your family members realize their own personal beauty and worth in this world. We are like the snowflakes; we are all unique. There is nobody in the world just like you. Embrace it! And, let your beauty shine.
Well, it’s been another super fun and family idea FILLED year here at ‘Or so she says…’! I hope you found some amazing ideas and enjoyed the big She Picks! gift idea series this Christmas. I had so many messages from people saying how many gift ideas they found in the series and on the She Picks! Facebook group. I love hearing that… yay!!
Most of all, I just want to take a minute to thank you all for being so supportive of the blog. I always think back to the time that I first had the idea to start it, years ago, and had NO idea what I was getting myself into…
I know I’m not alone in feeling like the world is becoming more confusing and chaotic every day. You can’t turn on the tv without being bombarded with devastating and disturbing news. You can’t pull up Facebook without running across contention. Whether the world is literally more unsafe and immoral or we are led to believe that by the media, the effect on our hearts and minds are the same.
Fear and confusion.
The holidays are a mad rush of “buy this! Get that! And how many more people are left to shop for???” And all too often it’s easy to lose track of the true Christmas spirit. This Family Night service project activity, is a great way to bring back the true reason for the season, and bring the family a little closer.
Teen and youth homelessness is a massive, and growing problem in our country. Nearly 40% of homeless in the US are under the age of 18…
I’ve been looking for fun ways to bring a little more meaning into my family’s Christmas this year. It’s so easy to get caught up in all the presents and shopping, and to forget what we’re really celebrating this time of year!
I plan on looking into those more next year when my little man is a little older and can understand more, but for now Christ-centered Christmas books are going to be my main focus. He loves being read to! Plus, it’s never too early to start teaching your kids about Christ, the nativity story, serving others, and the spirit of Christmas.
I am so pumped about this and my boys are over-the-moon to finally have permission to buy all Star Wars movies for a marathon! I love that it’s so affordable, but I also love that there are lots and lots of movies available and with family filtering options. To be able to remove the profanity or nudity in a movie is HUGE for me! This is a great family-friendly service that I’m so excited to share with you!
