Kick Off the Year in Style with a School Year’s Eve Party

There’s no avoiding it.  The long, lazy days of summer are winding down.   Soon my kids will be heading back to school and saying goodbye to late bedtimes and hanging out in their pj’s til noon.  It’s a rough transition for the whole family so we like to kick things off with one last [...]

Lovin’ These Links – Monday’s Facebook Recap

Sorry I was a little MIA last week. It was the last week of school for my kids so each and every minute was consumed with school stuff and my girls’ annual ‘School’s Out Semi-Sleepover’ (more on that soon). I promise to be more on the ball this week. It’s Monday again. Time [...]

Lovin’ These Links – Monday’s Facebook Recap

So how are you feeling about the mini-posts?  I’m kinda liking them.  Short, sweet, and to the point.  I may do a few more of those in the future.  I’ve got one more laundry post for you and then, I promise, I’ll stop talking about the wash for awhile. It’s Monday again.  Time for [...]

Bunco – One of My Favorite Family-Friendly, Grab’n'Go Games

Easter is here so I thought I’d give you a few more details (and files) on a fun idea I posted back in 2007.  I hope your family enjoys it. My kids love Easter egg hunts.  They think it’s so fun to scramble around in the backyard and search for our expertly-hidden dyed eggs.  Although, one [...]

Great Card Games for Kids

There’s nothing quite like sitting down at the kitchen table to play a great card game as a family.  If your family loves the classics like UNO, Old Maid and Go Fish, you might want to give a few of these newer games a try.  Generally you can find them at Target and Wal Mart for between $5 and [...]

Two Fun Family Games

Hey there, everyone.  Remember me?  Sorry it’s been such a long break between posts.  The last few weeks have been a little crazy here.  In addition to being a bit sleep deprived (thanks to my chubby little 3-month old), I’ve also moved to a new house and embarked on a cross-country road trip with my family since my last post.  [...]

Share the Love this Valentine’s – Host a Lotsa-Love Fest

You guys have probably figured out by now that I love the holidays…even the little ones.  They give me a chance to break up the everyday routine and inject a little fun into our family life.  This Valentine’s Day I decided to try a new family tradition…we’re calling it our Lotsa-Love Fest. I found the orginal idea on Family [...]
