Today’s Family Night lesson is about treasure–something that leprechauns know all about! How do we find our own treasure? What type of treasure should we be seeking? Is it a pot of sparkly gold or something even more valuable? Let’s find out what this heavenly treasure hunt is all about!
Help Preschoolers learn some basics with this fun patterns game that Jessie is sharing today! Hi everyone! Jessie here, and it’s great to be posting here on OSSS again. I’m really excited to share this post with you because we’ve had such a great time playing this game. Let me give you a little background…
And, we’re back for the third installment of our super fun Grocery Store Games series! These games are designed to make grocery shopping with kids a little easier… is it possible?? I think so! My kids are all having lots of fun with these games and I’m seeing lots of pins and shares out there, so that’s awesome. Believe me, with 6 kids, I know what it’s like to have a crazy grocery shopping experience. If these can help me, I know they can help you!
Today’s grocery store game is all about ADJECTIVES…
Yay!! I’m excited to share another game in the Grocery Store Games series, here on ‘Or so she says…’. Last week, I made a fun Color Scavenger Hunt for the kiddos. This week, it’s all about the alphabet. This grocery store game is great for kids, both old and young. My kids think any game is extra fun if there is a prize at the end (maybe a treat in the check-out line?!) But, I’m pretty sure they would be anxious to play, prize or no prize.
I love grocery stores that are stressed-out-mom friendly. One of our local stores has free snacks and balloons for kids. The employees are so sweet to offer them to moms. I love the service where you pay for your groceries, then pull your car up to their door, and they load them all into the back of the car for you. I applaud stores like that! But, it’s always good to have a plan of your own… fruit snacks in your purse, an iPhone with family pictures on it, little trinkets that they can play with, whatever. That’s why I thought it would be fun to start offering Grocery Store Games on the blog!
I really enjoy the month of February. First of all, it is short. Only 28 days! It is full of hearts, cupids, and candy! Yum. And, it is one month closer to Spring. Hallelujah! I also love that we get to celebrate random acts of kindness. There are few things that bring more happiness in life than service. This month’s Family Night lesson and activity are centered around service. I put together a fun printable to get your family in the spirit of serving–Secret Service style!
What to pack depends on whether or not you are flying or driving, and how much space you have in either case. But, there are some general rules that you can follow either way. Remember, even if you have gobs of space to bring your entire wardrobe, you’ll be living in close quarters while on your vacation and over packing is not a good idea.
My wildest dream is coming true and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is opening on the west coast at Universal Studios Hollywood on April 7, 2016! If you’ve been thinking about planning a trip to California, now is the time. Here is everything every witch, wizard and muggle needs to know about Harry Potter at Universal Studios!
Christmas is over, the new year has begun, and if your house is anything like mine, the sugar and toys have taken over. Time for a few post-holiday activities to get you and the kiddos back on track, while still having fun of course. Check out these 4 post Christmas activities to help start your new year off right:
This Family Night Lesson is to help your family members realize their own personal beauty and worth in this world. We are like the snowflakes; we are all unique. There is nobody in the world just like you. Embrace it! And, let your beauty shine.
I am so pumped about this and my boys are over-the-moon to finally have permission to buy all Star Wars movies for a marathon! I love that it’s so affordable, but I also love that there are lots and lots of movies available and with family filtering options. To be able to remove the profanity or nudity in a movie is HUGE for me! This is a great family-friendly service that I’m so excited to share with you!
