These easy blueberry bars are simple to make, and taste fantastic!
These blueberry crumble bars have been a favorite for ages. They really are quite simple to make and I don’t think you can really mess ’em up. And I’ll tell you a secret – you can pretend that they are good to eat for breakfast! ‘Cuz there’s fruit. No seriously, though, I consume way too many of these in the morning.
Hello again OSSS readers! I’m Kristi from making it in the mountains and I’m back again to share another favorite recipe! This quick dish has been an absolute life saver as we trudge through month two of moving (you can check out a sneak peek of our new home here). Yes, you read that right … TWO MONTHS! Ugh! Anyway, all whining aside, this pasta salad has become our go-to side dish simply because it’s SO easy to whip up a big ol’ batch of it, not to mention it’s SUPER yummy and goes with pretty much everything! I just know y’all are going to LOVE it too!
Get the kids involved in this easy, hands-on craft! A homemade bird feeder is always a hit with the kids and the local wildlife. String a few of these up and just watch the hungry little creatures stop by and take a nibble!
One of my absolute favorite places is the library. There is something so welcoming about being in a building with so many wonderful books and resources. I love getting lost among the never ending bookshelves searching for a forgotten treasure, or passing by other book lovers in search of just the right book.
February is a month that honors the beloved library and all those who use it on a regular basis. This month as we celebrated love, we also celebrate Library Lovers Month. Have you visited your local library lately? Chances are you may not know what you’re missing.
Hi Everyone! It’s Adelle from Packed with Fun, the official blog of Get Away Today. With Spring Break right around the corner, we thought there was no better time for a Disneyland road trip.

Even though Valentine’s Day is over, the month of love is still going strong!! I thought it would be fun to share a quick and easy Family Night about love. Of course we love our families, but sometimes it’s good to be reminded! There is great power in loving each other. When love is shown, there tends to be more patience, forgiveness comes more easily and there will always be more joy in our home. Just by loving each other. SO EASY…yet so hard sometimes. I thought it would be fun to explain how contagious it is when we choose to love. It rubs off on everyone. Even your cranky teenagers can’t escape the effects of love. So…on to our Family Night!
So all week, I was trying to decide what topic I wanted to share today for Sunday Sunshine. We talked about some really great things in church, but I wasn’t quite sure if they were what I wanted to share. Then last night, I was thumbing through Instagram and noticed a ‘follow friday’ suggestion. That’s when someone on Instagram recommends another Instagrammer to follow… on Friday. Anyway, one of the suggestions was this gal, I shall not name, but dang… her photos were beautiful. SHE is beautiful. Her home is beautiful, her clothes are high-end, and on and on. Literally, everything was picture perfect.
It was sorta… fascinating.
Jen from Baked by an Introvert back with another great recipe for you! I am a huge fan of baking with bananas. Seriously, it seems like I create one banana inspired recipe a week. From muffins to cupcakes to cookies, I’m hooked on all things banana.
I had some over ripe bananas on my counter so I decided to whip up a super moist bread. An incredibly indulgent banana bread loaded with chocolate, chai, and bits of caramel filled chocolate chips.

Given the opportunity to get messy, dip fingers in and lick the spoon, I think most kids love cooking. Cooking with kids is so important because it not only teaches them important skills, but being involved often gets them more excited to eat meals.
My kids – Gracey aged 8 and Lewis aged 5 – have been making kitchen creations since they were toddlers.
I told Gracey I needed her to help in creating a lovely dinner for ‘Or So She Says’ and she jumped off the sofa and immediately started rummaging through her growing collection of cook books. Click on through to see what she decided to make for you today:
Since becoming a mom, saving money on healthy meals has been a huge part of my stay-at-home job. The most effective way I have found to save big is through pairing coupons with great deals at my local store – 10 for $10 sales are my very favorite! Most of these sales, are generally on canned goods which has really challenged me to get creative with the things I make; because making healthy things that my family will actually eat is top of the priority list.
To make sure I’m using up my sale items, I have given myself a goal of creating at least one meal a week with mostly canned pantry items. Generally, I make these meals on Thursday: when my husband works late, and I’m too exhausted after a day with the boys to spend a lot of time cooking!
