Family Fun

So I went to the Little Bee Craft Boutique and had a great time walking around and browsing through tons of booths with cute and creative stuff. The vendors were all very friendly and it was a great way to spend a Saturday morning. I like to go to these things to see what people […]

Here’s a great April fools’ trick from marthastewart.com. Tie a rubber band around the kitchen sprayer to give your kids and husband a surprise shower when they turn on the faucet! APRIL FOOLS!!! Here’s another good one…color milk with food coloring. Yum-yum! One time we asked my Grandma to make green macaroni and cheese. She […]

At my book club last week, conversation rolled around to Disney movies. One of the girls there said that Disney has a lifetime guarantee on all their movies, so if one of your Disney DVDs gets scratched or broken you can mail it in and they’ll send you a brand new one, even if the […]

We have a family get together each month to celebrate any birthdays in that month. We usually eat lunch or dinner together and then have some sort of activity. My husband and I were in charge of the March party, and we decided we wanted to talk about how we met our spouses, etc. My […]

If you don’t know how to play Sudoku, it’s time to learn. It really is a fun way to pass the time while waiting for kids or any other time.  Here’s a quick run down: The object of the game is to get numbers 1-9 just once in each of the 9 mini squares and […]

So […]

I learned a valuable lesson while at Disneyland in December. Our son was not very happy and was crying more than normal, I think because of all the newness and not being able to crawl around on the ground and play like he’s used to. My husband and I were grumpy because our son was […]

If you’re at Disneyland with children too young to go on the rides, take advantage of the “switch pass.” You can wait in line with your whole party and they’ll give you a switch pass which allows half of your party to go on the ride and the other half to go in the fast […]

Like I said yesterday, we went to Disneyland last week and I was surprised at how many people were there in December. I wouldn’t say December is a bad time to go, but November might be better. It was more crowded and colder than I expected. Anyway, we were there over a Thursday and Friday. […]

We went to Disneyland earlier this month and I have some advice for families with young children: WAIT! Disneyland really is a magical place but we had a hard time enjoying it with a baby. We were only able to go on about four rides in two days and our son hated all of them! […]
