This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Chuck E. Cheese. All opinions are 100% mine. Whenever I ask my kids where they want to go for a special family outing, birthday trip, etc., their answer is always Chuck E. Cheese’s (My little guy calls it “Chunkin’ Cheese,” which is adorable!). We’ve spent his…
Happy October my friends! It’s Veronica and I’m back with a fun and super easy Halloween Family Night! What is Family Night you ask? 🙂 We choose one day a week to spend time with our family. There is typically a lesson, activitiy or game and ALWAYS a treat. It’s the best way I know to reconnect as a family and to teach my kids valuable lessons in a fun and creative way. If you’ve never tried it, you should give it a go! You’ll love it!
For the most part, I think God wants us to do what we want to do. As long as we’re anxiously engaged in a good cause, He doesn’t necessarily care how we go about doing that. WE get to choose. We get to choose with God. The power is in us to govern ourselves. And make our own choices. And do things that make our souls come alive. So we get to make a decision and go the direction we want to go as long as we’re going about doing good.
Each week we have been filling your head with tons of ideas for appetizers, main dishes, and desserts that are perfect to serve for a football party or tailgate! This week is no exception. We aren’t talking a boring bowl of dip here, but parmesan crusted tortilla chips, copycat Chili’s queso and MORE!
If you are putting together the menu for your tailgate or football watching party, we have got you covered with these tailgating recipes.
Fall is one of my favorite times of year. The weather cools down, school starts, candy corn and pumpkin pie become available for my consumption, and the leaves change! Though, with the weather getting colder I’ve found I’m looking for more and more ideas for keeping my little man entertained indoors. This week we’re going to give one of these adorable leaf crafts a try; I think he’ll have a lot of fun. Hopefully, your kids will enjoy them too!
In our family, we always like to have a festive Halloween dinner. It’s something our mom always did for us and we love to keep the tradition alive with our own kids. On the menu this year (and the past 2 years!) at my house are these yummy mummy pretzel dogs! They come together pretty quickly and the kids always go crazy for them because not only are they fun and spooky, they are equally delicious! Lu and I love to involve our kids in the kitchen, and rolling out the pretzel dough into long “snakes” before wrapping the mummies is the perfect job for little hands.
I married into a family that goes camping together on a regular basis. Planning the trips has gotten a little more complicated as we’ve all started popping out kids, but that doesn’t mean that we still don’t always have a great time! I have to say, one of the best things about camping with my in-laws are the AMAZING meals that get whipped up. For some of the meals we use a camping stove but some of the best meals come out of our cast iron dutch ovens!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! That’s right, Halloween is by far (there’s not even a close second) my favorite holiday. I love costume parties! I really enjoy taking my kids out trick-or-treating. I am a huge fan of candy; Reese’s peanut butter cups and Reese’s Pieces are my all-time faves. I like the colors, the smells, pumpkin everything, and the crisp clean feel to the autumn air. However, I realize a sad truth that not everyone fancies Halloween as much as I do.
Happy Sunday, friends! It’s midnight and my family and I just pulled in from a weekend get-away, but I didn’t want Sunday to come without having an uplifting message and quote for you.
I’ve been thinking a lot about my blessings and how thankful I am to God for all I have. It truly is an honor to serve Him and I know that I can never do enough to pay Him back…
Welcome to WEEK 6 of our ULTIMATE TAILGATING RECIPE SERIES. I can’t believe we’ve done 6 weeks of these already. That’s 6 weeks of amazing recipes and 2 more weeks to come. I don’t want it to end. Ever.
Some of blogging buddies got together to collaborate on this fun tailgating adventure. There’s nothing better than sharing football food with people you adore. Noshing on great recipes with your friends is the best thing in the world.
This year has been extra special as the Diamond Celebration kicked off over Memorial Day weekend. With the changes, some of the seasonal celebrations have had some tweaks this year, which means that the holidays (both Halloween and Christmastime) are going to be unlike any other year at Disneyland. The Disneyland Resort also made some exciting new surprises. See what’s in store!
Kari is sharing unique toddler Halloween costume ideas in today’s post, plus some ideas for getting the whole family in on the action. It doesn’t have to be expensive or time-consuming to get everyone decked out for the big holiday!
