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!
Family Night is a family activity that can be held once a week. Set aside one night when your family can all be together. Teach your children important values and how to be better family members, people, citizens, friends, and neighbors. The dedicated time together is the most important thing.
Hey friends, it’s time for General Conference and I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hope you’ll take the time to watch it. I promise that if you do, with an open heart and mind, that you will come away from it feeling uplifted and inspired. Who doesn’t want to feel that?!?
Happy October, friends! Do you love the changing weather? One of my most favorite things about Utah is the notable seasons and fall is my favorite. After a busy summer, fall just seems to have a way of relaxing me… just a bit. I love the changing and falling leaves… I love them all over my yard, it’s alway sad to have to rake them up!
Anyway… let’s see, what’s going on at my house…
Can you believe we are on WEEK 5 of the Ultimate Tailgating Recipe Series? As you know, I’m a huge football fan and spend my fair share of time watching football games. So naturally I’ve tasted a lot of game day food and I’ve partnered with some of my favorite bloggers to bring you the good stuff. We still have THREE more weeks to go! If you are kicking yourself for missing the last FOUR weeks don’t worry I’ve got you covered.
When I think of all of the problems, the issues, the struggles and the trials in life, I have no doubt that we could all make it through life a little happier if we all followed this message of charity and love. We would look outward to serve and bless and each time I have done that in my life, I am filled with love for others immediately. I made these sweet printables for you to share (and keep) and hope they will help to share the message this month!
Hi, Becky here from Bite of Delight! I’m so excited that Fall is here, along with cooler weather, beautiful leaf colors and PUMPKIN! If you’re a pumpkin-spice-all-the-things kind of person, then you’ll love this super easy recipe for dressing up a simple pancake mix for a quick and easy Fall breakfast.
So for last year’s homeschool, we studied slavery and the Civil War… all year long. That’s how I love doing history. We just take a small portion of time and spend the whole year really getting in-depth. This year we’re doing the Industrial Revolution, Great Depression, and World War I, so you can plan on…
With the weather getting colder we find ourselves venturing less and less into the outdoors and more and more toward the comfort of our fireplaces. Obviously board games can be whipped out no matter the weather, but in these cold winter months they can provide a family some much needed indoor entertainment and fun! So, I went on a search to find some really highly recommended board games for you to add to your collections this winter. I tried to find some that are less well-known because I know you’ve all got Monopoly and Clue already stashed away.
A few months ago, I shared a 365 Reasons to Love Your Spouse Journal here at OSSS. That was my first attempt at offering a small bit of marriage insight with you. And today, I’m going to try my hand at it again. The topic this time, charity in marriage.
For me, pure Christ-like love leaves no room for anger, jealousy, faultfinding, or resentment. Now we are all human, we’ll fall short many times, but I am here to say this charitable love is attainable as we work on it daily.
Recently there has been a lot of focus on addiction, and the miracle of addiction recovery. I would imagine that there are few, if any, left in this world who have not been affected by addiction in one form or another. I would like to lend my voice in support of those battling addiction and perhaps even more so to the people in their lives who bear the unbelievably difficult burden of loving and assisting someone in their life struggling with such. I would like to focus specifically on pornography for this post. Pornography, as you will read shortly, has recently found its way into our home.
