We had a blast frosting mounds of candy onto our gingerbread houses this weekend. I had 8 seven-year-olds over and I’m here to share with you all the tips, tricks and goods (and some free printables) so you can rock your own Gingerbread House Party. All the inspiration came from the fun Gingerbread Party themed items sent to me from Big Dot of Happiness. I’ll link all the items I used in a shopping list at the end so you can recreate the magic!… Read the rest

Halloween Family Costume Ideas

This post contains affiliate links, see full disclosure for details. Thanks for supporting my site!

Over the years we’ve had some fun family costume themes for Halloween, and every time I share them on Instagram people seem to have so many questions so I decided to make this into a full blog post! Unfortunately it seems that a family theme is getting harder and harder these days as my kiddos all have their own separate passionate ideas of what they want to be. But usually we can still pull together a coalition of a few of us ;). I hope this helps spark your creativity and give you some inspiration for your costumes!… Read the rest

Primary Presidency Free Printables

This post contains affiliate links, thanks so much for supporting my site!

I’ve had some people reaching out to ask for updated primary printables! Since things have changed a bit in primary over the last few years I decided to alter some of my previous printables made with Bitsy Creations to come up with some resources that are not year or theme-specific and can be used year after year. That makes your life easier, and mine too! All of these are free to download and use for your ward. I just ask that you give us a follow on Social Media to help us be able to continue to provide free content.… Read the rest

Quarry Park Adventures, an Epic Birthday Party!

Quarry Park Adventures provided passes for my family to attend, all opinions are my own.

If you are looking for an out-of-the-box birthday our outing idea, and are driving distance to Rocklin, CA I’ve got the answer for you my friends! Quarry Park Adventures is a rock climbing and ropes course adventure center built right into a previous granite quarry site. I honestly didn’t quite realize how big, awesome and seriously legit this place was until we got there. These kids had the time of their lives running around and conquering all the different courses and activities. My son said multiples times that it was his best birthday ever!… Read the rest

Patriotic Bingo

If you’ve been around for awhile you may remember my Bingo Boo. I’ve been meaning to make similar printables for all the holidays and finally got around to making them for the Fourth of July! This is a fun twist on your normal Bingo game as it’s a little letter tracing practice at the same time! It’s great for pre-K and kinder kids to play as a class activity (can work great around Memorial Day as well). Or it can be modified into regular bingo for older children of course!

Pin Me!

What I like to do is print the bingo cards out (I created four different versions) and slip them into page protectors, then the kids can use a dry erase marker to trace the letter to mark that they have that square.… Read the rest
