It’s summer and that means my family (and I!) want all the sweet, cold treats we can get our hands on! The cure for a hot summer day is an easy homemade popsicle. So let me show you how my kids and I made them a few weeks back! My kids loved this fun kitchen…
The summer is full of fun memories on the water! Whether it’s a trip to the beach, weekends spent at the lake, or an evening at our local pool, my kids LOVE the water. In putting together our #SummerActivityBinder, I wanted to include resources that would be helpful year after year. I love quick reference…

Anybody else a fan of palm trees? The ocean? (Me! Me!) Growing up in Oklahoma, seeing the ocean is a treat. I’ll never forget the first time I saw the ocean. I don’t remember how old I was, but we went to a beach in Charleston when we were on a family vacation. I remember…
When I was younger, I went on a canoe trip with our youth group to Boundary Waters, Minnesota. We had a food pack full of enough food for five days, and for five days, we cooked every single meal over an open flame. Thankfully, temperatures that far north are pretty cool, and despite my dislike…
Today’s post is all about camping! Indoors, outdoors, mountains, or beach, camping is fun! For kids. Full disclosure: the closest I come to camping is the Four Seasons.
