How to Make Shamrock Shakes

Minty and refreshing, and the perfect way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, in my humble opinion.

  • Add 1 cup milk to blender (love my vitamix!!)
  • Add 5-6 mint oreos to blender
  • Fill to top with mint ice cream and blend
  • Top with whipped cream and andes pieces

Voila! It doesn’t get much easier than that! You can also use thin mint cookies in place of mint oreos, and in place of mint Andes try lucky charms or green sprinkles.… Read the rest

Pin me baby!

What better way to celebrate a late February or early March birthday than a St Patrick’s Day Play Date?! Obvs. We try to stick to the “you can have a big party with all you friends every other year” guideline. And this little fella got one “out of this world” 4 year old bash (see his space party here). But all he kept saying he wanted for his birthday was to have his friends over.… Read the rest

I’ve been wanting to write this post for so long now! And NO, it’s not that I think I’m as cool as Oprah and deserve a “my favorites thing” list. BUT- I do have some products and items that I am LOVING right now and want to share them with all of you. These would make awesome stocking stuffers, gift exchange gifts, secret santa gifts, gifts for your mom, sisters, girlfriends, wives… you get the idea!… Read the rest

Light the World 2018 Roundup

*I in no way speak for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, all opinions are my own*

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is once again encouraging us to keep Christ in Christmas by “Lighting the World” this December. In fact, they are encouraging us to Light the world (week one), light our communities (week two), light our families (week three), and light our faith (week four).  To do this they have released videos and other resources over on mormong.org.  

Me, along with all my favorite blogging buddies that are also members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (formerly known as “mormon bloggers” hehe), have come together to bring you our best ideas and printable resources for you to help implement this wonderful objective!… Read the rest

Light the World 2018 Lunchbox Challenge

They are changing things up with Light the World this year! Instead of a daily theme and scripture there are going to be 4 weekly themes. I was a little relieved to hear that as I found it a tad overwhelming to do 25 things last year! We tried our best but definitely didn’t do it every day!

Light the World 2018 Lunchbox Challenge, great to do with your kids

So as I updated the popular Light the World lunchbox challenge this year, I adapted it to the four weekly themes. And the good news is there is only 5 challenges per week! Wahoo! One for each school day. You can put these in your child’s lunchbox each day (as the name suggests) and some of the things are meant for them to do right there at school.… Read the rest
