Milestone Birthday Ideas and Printables

*This post contains affiliate links, see my full disclosure here*

I had the honor of helping to throw a surprise 90th birthday party for my husband’s grandmother. Truthfully, I did very little. My Mother-in-Law, Sister-in-Law and some of her other children’s spouses did all the hard work! I just made a few printables and supplied the house ;). It turned out to be such a nice event, and truthfully, it was the happiest I have EVER seen her! (which was a relief because we were all a little nervous to surprise a 90 year-old).

90th birthday party ideas and free printables, great for any milestone birthday celebration!

I’m here to share some of my favorite details from the party, all of which can be adapted for really any big milestone birthday celebration!… Read the rest

Back to School Cake Banner

What are your back to school traditions? We don’t usually do anything too crazy or fancy, but we do like to have a little family night, either the day before or two days before, and pick a family motto! This is something we can remind ourselves of throughout the year, a goal of sorts, to help us all be successful. My husband also gives each of my kids special father’s blessings for the upcoming school year. And its always fun to end with a little treat.

We have Back to School night coming up pretty soon, and it’s always nice not to show up empty handed as we meet the person that will spend 180 days X 6 hours a day molding my child into the person he is becoming. Hah! But it’s true! I get them a few hours a day, but they get them… well, the rest! Always nice to make a good impression 😉back to school teacher gift idea and free printable

And if its one thing all parents & teachers can agree on is that Back to School germs are the worst!… Read the rest

2018 Primary Program Invitation

Every year for our primary program we like to give each primary child 2 invitations.  With the invitations we give the challenge that they use at least one of the invitations to invite a non-member.  This can be a friend, teacher, coach, neighbor, cousin- whatever! I think its a great missionary opportunity for the little ones, and we can all learn from their unabashed courage!
 As for the invitations, I made  2 different versions you can choose from depending on how much you want to customize it yourself. … Read the rest

2018 Primary Program Script, I am a Child of God

Hello Primary Friends! Last year I did not make a primary program script available and I got a lot of disappointed emails, so this year I didn’t want to let you down again! As such, I volunteered to write the primary program for our primary (I am the secretary now). And I don’t usually have the script up until August, but we may be doing ours earlier this year (we usually do it in October but we might do it in September this year) so I wanted to get crackin’! The weird thing about writing this primary program is “I am a Child of God” was the theme for my FIRST primary program.… Read the rest
