BINGO is such a fun and easy game for kids to play. I thought it was a good idea to make a set of BINGO cards for Christmas parties and print them off. I'm sharing them with you today and hope you like them. Simply click on the photos and print them. Easy, peasy, lemon, squeezy! The first photo is for the cut outs, simply print and cut out each photo for the game caller. The Merry Christmas can be used as a Free Space if you chose or it can be a regular game play. Card one Card two Card three Card four Card five Card six Card seven Card eight Card nine … [Read more...]

Popsicle Stick Nativity Ornament–Pinned it, Did it!
By
As I said earlier this week, the girls and I have been making popsicle stick ornaments. The Nativity ornament is one that I pinned a while ago because I thought it was cute and it emphasizes what we believe is the true reason for Christmas. The original post has exact directions on how to make it but we think it's pretty easy to figure out from the photo. Nutty needed a little help with cutting the sticks but other than that, she did it all on her own! She was so excited with the finished product! What have you made from popsicle sticks? … [Read more...]
Homemade Turkey Noodle Soup
By
With Thanksgiving around the corner (in the US) I thought I'd share a family favorite with you. This goes back farther than I can remember. My grandma used to make this every year right after Thanksgiving. I will be honest and tell you that I looked forward to her Turkey Noodle Soup even more than the actual Thanksgiving dinner! It's easy to do but does take a bit of time. It is perfect for a Saturday afternoon job and makes a great "get well" gift for neighbors. I always make enough to freeze and have throughout the year. Start by saving the bones and left over meat from the turkey. Place all the left overs into a large stock pot and fill with water to the top of the bones. Add 1-2 bay leaves, some salt and pepper to taste, 1 small diced onion, 1 large sliced carrot and two stalks of sliced celery. Allow all of this to boil for three hours. Once it has boiled for three hours pour the liquid through a strainer into another large pot (don't lose the liquid this is your soup!) and … [Read more...]
After The Review–A Holiday Gift Guide
By
If you've read our blog for any amount of time, you know that we've done our fair share of product reviews. Companies send us products to try out for a week up to a month and we write our thoughts about them. 99% of the time we write positive reviews because if we don't like a something, we inform the company, and they tell us not to post a review (or sometimes they give us a different product to try). What happens after the review though? Do we still like and use these products months or even years after our initial post? Read on to discover which products we're still in love with. We were not asked by any of these companies to write a follow up review and we have received no compensation for this post. We simply thought it would be fun to share with our readers that yes, we really DO like, and still use, a lot of the products we review. You might consider this our idea of a Holiday Gift Guide :) 1) Urban Halo. We reviewed Urban Halo headbands back when we were just … [Read more...]
Popsicle Stick Snowflake Ornaments
By
Christmas is closer than you think. In fact, Lindsi has already started decorating her house! I personally believe in waiting until after Thanksgiving, but Lindsi is a little more zealous than I am. The girls and I did, however, start getting into the Christmas spirit last week by making some ornaments for our tree. The first of many I will be sharing with you is the popsicle stick snowflake ornament. To be honest, we made a few ornaments and I took pictures in the process of making most of them except this one. Nutty made it so fast, I didn't get a chance! To make your own, you'll need: 4 wooden craft sticks (popsicle sticks) wood glue (Elmer's glue will work fine too) blue paint glitter jewels fishing line or ribbon 1) Start by gluing two popsicle sticks in the middle, 90 degrees apart. 2) Repeat with two more popsicle sticks. 3) Glue the two sets together so that they line up with "spokes" 45 degrees apart. 4) When dry, paint and decorate … [Read more...]
