This post brought to you by Quilted Northern. The content and opinions expressed below are that of ‘Or so she says …’. About the only time I think much about my bathroom and what’s in it is when I have to clean it. But what if the bath toys, wall hangings, perfume bottles, wall paper,…
Hello! It’s Veronica and I’m so happy to be here this month! Since Father’s Day is coming, I thought I’d share some ideas for Family Night with DAD! Why?! Because they are so very important, and so very awesome!! I’ve had a ton of fun ideas swimming around in my little brain, so it was hard to whittle it down. There are a lot of ideas, so just choose what would work the best for your family. I’m also sensitive to the fact that not everyone may have a father in their home, so feel free to adapt it for a grandfather or close friend. They could be your guest of honor for the night!
It’s crazy to me how quickly technology advances and improves! So much of the technology that I use on a regular basis to share special moments with friends and family wasn’t available when I was a kid. I’ve grown accustomed to taking photos on my phone and easily sharing them with my mom and other…
I don’t know about you, but I’m a little emotionally allergic to cleaning. I hate it, it’s not something that is fun for me but unfortunately it’s something that has to be done. The irony is not lost on me with my blog being named Creative Home Keeper that I don’t enjoy cleaning but that’s where the creative part comes in!
There will always be tasks, responsibilities, chores and jobs we don’t enjoy doing BUT there are ways to make it more enjoyable doing. Today I want to share with you my top 4 ways to make cleaning more enjoyable.
I’m sure almost all of us could use a new appliance … or five! My washer/dryer set is long overdue for an upgrade. That’s one of the reasons why I was excited to learn about the Maytag Salutes Sweepstakes. The other reason I love this sweepstakes is that Maytag is honoring everyday heroes, such as…
Hey, it’s Adelle from Packed with Fun, the official blog for Get Away Today. Once Memorial Day weekend is over, the summer officially begins and my kids start begging for some summer fun. Our family loves to go to Disneyland so much, that we decided to recreate it at home to extend some of that vacation magic. Here are six activities you can set up to turn your backyard into Disneyland. This would work at a nearby park, too, for hours of Disneyland fun:
This is Sharon again from Lemon Squeezy, and this month I water-colored a quote that I love. Duke Fergerson is a retired professional football player and said this during an interview back in 1988, which was originally advice from his mother. I’m going to put this inspirational quote up where my kids will see it a lot and hopefully it will be something they always remember.
Sometimes it just feel like there’s not enough time to get everything done as a busy mom. I try to be organized and plan ahead for dinner, but more often than not the day gets away from me and dinner time sneaks up on me. Or, I look at the day ahead and realize in…
Last month when I popped in to share my Spring Bottle Vases, I was just embarking on our most epic DIY journey yet as we signed on to take part in the One Room Challenge. Have you heard of it? Basically, we committed to making over one room in our home in just six weeks. Yep, SIX weeks! It was an absolute whirlwind, but I’m thrilled to say we made it through the other side and we really couldn’t be happier with the results! Curious about which room we chose to transform? You can check out our final reveal here! Here’s a little hint: it may just involve a perfectly weathered wood plank wall!
Today we’ve got a quick and easy skillet chicken pasta meal. Perfect with garlic bread on those cold days, and equally perfect on hot days with a nice crunchy green salad.
This is one-pan cooking at it’s best. Everything gets added in step-by-step, and we end up with a delicious cheesy-creamy pasta dish – with plenty of vegetables – that the kids will love.
Hello! I’m happy to be back sharing this wonderful easy cheese danish with you today! The filling tastes just like cheesecake. These are perfect for breakfast, brunch or just a sweet snack. I love that they go together so quickly! This recipe is one of Ina Garten’s. I love her elegant, simple style! You could easily adapt this and mix in some jam. Make a sweet drizzle for the top! It’s a great go to recipe.
I listed the zest of one lemon (my children don’t like it when the lemon is too strong). Other than that I pretty much followed her recipe.
Hi there! It’s Liz from Liz on Call back to share with you another fun and delicious recipe. With summer quickly approaching, I’m always looking for fun ways to keep the kids busy and entertained. My kids love crafting and activities, but they also love to help in the kitchen. Especially my daughter. These jello popcorn balls are a fun recipe that the kids will love to help make.
