A couple months before my son’s 4th birthday I had a great, simple idea for a Cars-themed party. And then he turned Batman on me. Haha. Thus was born the “Superhero Training” party! Much of the inspiration for this party came from the fact that my husband works for Cricut – I thought it would…
How to Make a Family Cookbook
Last year, the girls and I had what we thought was a pretty rockin’ idea for mom’s Christmas gift. We would put together a family cookbook-a compilation of the classics-the things we eat at Christmas and on birthdays-the recipes handed down with love (and vague instructions) from great grandmas. But maybe our biggest motivation was just…
First Birthday Book of Wishes & GIVEAWAY
Today we’re talking about this cute guy’s first birthday. (That third picture pretty much sums up how we feel about dessert around here. Yeah! Get it!)

Introducing, FROZEN Girls Camp

So how did we decide to plan a week of Girls Camp activities, food, crafts, a Kick-off Night, decorations, and devotionals all around Frozen?
White Chocolate Popcorn Snowballs
This is the perfect treat for the FROZEN Girls Camp Kick-off or for any Frozen themed party. (Buy an extra bag of York pieces-just for you. I’m not a York girl, but these dark chocolate peppermint pieces hit the spot. And they really flavor the whole snowball!)
