These party games for kids are a lot of fun. You can do them at birthday parties, Christmas parties, Halloween parties, etc. The best thing about these games is that they are fun for kids of all ages and adults too! We did these games at Gabrielle’s birthday party a week ago. Her birthday is close to Christmas, so we made some of the games with a Christmas twist, but they don’t have to be. You can customize each game for any season or party. We had so much fun with the games that after Gabrielle’s friends left, we had… Read More

Cheap Christmas Decorations In The Back Porch

Today, I am joining Amy from Atta Girl Says and my other blogging friends to share porch inspiration for the holidays. Our back porch is usually the last area in our home that I decorate for the holidays. I try to get everything done inside and what I have left over, ends up in the back porch. As I was pulling the back porch together, I was thinking about how little I spent on all the decor in there!

Matt usually sets up and fluffs the Christmas tree while I run around and decorate the rest of the house.  After Matt had the tree up and fluffed, I wrapped some of… Read More

La Crosse Wisconsin Weekend Getaway

I am always on the hunt for getaways we can do as a family that is close to where we live. I think a lot of times, people don’t think there are great places to visit in the Midwest, but as I get older, I am finding that the Midwest is full of beautiful places to get away to. With the kids getting older, their schedules really limit when and where we can go. I have to get creative when planning a trip. Many times, the only way we can get away is if it is somewhere close to where… Read More
