Valentine’s Fondue Printables

*This post contains affiliate links at no additional cost to you, thanks for supporting my site*

We got the chance to throw a surprise party for a dear friend lately. It had me reminiscing about all the surprise parties in my days. I actually could only recall one- it was one I had thrown for my husband not longer after we were married. Got me thinking, we should do more surprise parties! They are so much fun!

Anyway, we kept it pretty simple: Just fondue, my favorite party game (Telestrations, have you played??) and lots of chatting. Since it was a girls get-together, and close to Valentine’s Day, it kind of doubled as a Galentine’s Get Together and I made printables to go along with that theme.… Read the rest

Legoland California Like a Boss

1 / 15 / 181 / 20 / 18

Well it happened, get out the fireworks and mark the occasion because it actually happened: my husband and I agreed on something! After finishing our first trip to Legoland we concluded that (for our kids’ ages and stages) Legoland is better than… you know… don’t make me say it… the OTHER place 😉 Half the price, half the crowd, and double the fun 🙂 🙂 We had a BRICK-tastic time spending two days together at Legoland, California who graciously provided two media passes for our trip.

Our kids had no idea we were going. We just woke them up one morning and told them we were going somewhere.… Read the rest

Tips and Tricks for Sea World San Diego

1 / 12 / 181 / 15 / 18

Sea World graciously provided 4 media passes to allow my family to spend the day at the park while we were in San Diego. Thank you Sea World!!! The kids had no idea so it was fun to pull up to the Sea World parking lot and have them discover where we were! We had a great time, but I definitely learned some things that can help you and your family MAXIMIZE your day.

How to Maximize Your Day at Sea World (and stay sane):

Get there early: This is a no brainer, but I’m going to say it anyway. Sea World has a seasonal schedule (so check before you go!) but when we went (January) it didn’t open until 11.

Primary 2018 Newsletter Free Template

1 / 1 / 18

If you don’t already do a monthly newsletter, the new year is a great time to start! I updated our newsletter to reflect the theme: I am a child of God. It coordinates with my binder covers, posters, sharing time assignment cards and door signs.

Just download the JPEG and then you can add text in any photo editing program (like picmonkey, canva, photoshop, iphoto etc..)

We post our newsletter in our ward primary facebook group as well as hand it out on Sunday.

I made two different versions depending on whether you split for junior and senior primary. By the way, we have a small primary but still split for junior and senior primary.… Read the rest

Primary 2018 Door Signs

12 / 29 / 17

Hey Friends! It’s my 12th wedding anniversary today. Pretty exciting. I think we are headed to take the boys to Star Wars as soon as my hubby gets off work to celebrate! The glamorous life of parenthood! Hopefully we’ll get a chance to properly celebrate at some point 😉 In the mean time I am hurriedly getting primary things prepared for the new year! Today I got our door signs done and I made a blank template for you to use as well! I find that it helps reduce chaos for the first few weeks, and is also really helpful when you have visitors.… Read the rest
