If there is one movie that has completely changed how parents talk to their kids about feelings, it’s Disney-Pixar’s Inside Out. Whether you are a fan of the original or you’ve just seen Inside Out 2 with the new emotions like Anxiety and Ennui, we all know that navigating those “core memories” can be a…
I’m a huge Harry Potter nerd year round, but during Fall, my passion for all things Potter is magnified. (Because, hello, wizards and witches and magic.) I’ve encouraged my kids to love all things Potter, and have sewn them Hogwarts robes, and made wizarding wands, which actually they (okay, we) play with all year long. See how we made our own wizard wands in today’s post!
We did an activity to drive home the point that words can be used for good. It changed my life. I would never had suspected how my testimony would grow from a simple “children’s exercise.” I felt inspired to share it with our blog readers (YOU!) and hope that it will be as impactful in your homes as it was for me at our activity.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall, who is the fairest of them all? In the classic fairy tale, Snow White was the fairest maiden in the kingdom. But, it wasn’t her milky white skin or ruby red lips that made her the best. It was her kindness and goodness and her pure heart that made her the fairest of them all! If we looked in a magic mirror, what would our reflection say about us? Today’s family night lesson is about “Spiritual Mirrors.”
This Family Night lesson takes the basic concept of the festive paper plate game to the next level.

Hi Everyone, it’s Holly from Bits of Everything!
Do you need an affordable, creative, and fun idea that will keep the kids busy for hours? I have the perfect thing for you! Today we are making a DIY fort kit using PVC pipe. I’ve done a few PVC projects and they are always lots of fun, but my favorite part is that PVC is cheap!
All the supplies you need to make your fort kit is 1/2 inch PVC pipe, pipe connectors, a pipe cutter (the metal sturdy one is best!), duct tape, clamps, blankets (or drop cloths), and a box to store everything in.
If you get the PVC that is 10 feet long, you should be able to get all these fort pieces with 10 pieces of pipe. We also got a variety of connector pieces. Once the pieces are cut, assign a color to each length. Color coding the length like this makes it so much easier when you need the same size pipe – just get the same color!
Knowing the background of the Christmas symbols makes them even more meaningful and special. This family night lesson will help you discover the symbolism behind a collection of popular Christmas symbols. It will bring new meaning to the season as you realize your are surrounded by beautiful reminders of God’s love, peace, family, and hope.
