3 Fun Family Shoe Traditions Your Kids Will Love!

I love a good tradition, especially ones that are unique to our family. Over the years, we’ve adapted a few traditions to fit our family. And funny enough, they all involve shoes!

Tradition #1: Saint Nicholas Shoe Gifts

I spent 18 months in the Netherlands as a missionary for my church, and I learned to love so many things about the Dutch people and their traditions!

Father-Son Star Wars Date

Father-Son Star Wars Date

My husband and I try really hard to regularly spend one-on-one time with each of our four children. However, life gets crazy busy sometimes, so we’ve found it’s important to schedule monthly date nights with our kids. With the upcoming release of the new Star Wars movie, this month’s date night is a no-brainer!

I like Star Wars, but my husband REALLY likes Star Wars! He can’t bear the thought of his oldest son not being an avid Star Wars fan too.

Roasted Garlic Cheese and Turkey Blender Quiche

Roasted Garlic Cheese and Turkey Blender Quiche

With the holidays right around the corner I’ve already been thinking of ways I can make things easier on myself and family, so we can spend more time doing what really matters most. I want to focus my holiday on spending quality time with my family and less time worry about the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. Eating good food is always a huge part of our family get-togethers. But I don’t want that to mean slaving for hours and hours over a tasty homemade meal, and that’s where this yummy, simple quiche comes in. It’s chock full of flavor and is sure to please your family and company this holiday season.

Hot Chocolate Bar – So Fun for Christmas Parties!

Hi there! Sierra here from The Blue Robin Cottage! Brrrrrrrr! Winter just got real in Idaho! We’ve already had our first snow which can only mean one thing … hot chocolate time! Sometimes cozying up with a mug of hot chocolate is the perfect way to warm up.

We decided to kick off the winter weather season with a super fun hot chocolate bar! We used NEW International Delight Milk Chocolate Hot Chocolate. It was super rich and creamy and all I had to do was heat it up in the microwave! No hot chocolate powder clumps! Super easy and yummy!

Snoopy Dog House Craft for Kids ~ Using Airheads Candy! (she: Liz)

Crafting with candy is a sure fire way to get kids wanting to get creative. When candy is involved, I know my kids will be up for anything. 🙂 My son is a builder. He tells me that all he wants to do is build. Knowing his love for building (and candy) we used some Airheads candy to make a Snoopy Dog house.

How to Support Adoption

How to Support Adoption

If you’re a long-time ‘Or so she says …’ reader, then you know we’re passionate about adoption! We love working with any organization that also supports adoption, and it would be hard to find a company that does more to help foster kids find their forever families than Wendy’s. We’re thrilled at how much they support adoption!
