Ice Cream Birthday Party Kid Birthday Parties are my favorite especially when it involves ice cream! How to Pick a Party Theme My oldest daughter Tess turned 5 a few weeks ago! She is a little party planner herself. She loved helping me with the details of this party and definitely had an opinion. When she picked an Ice Cream Party in November I was a little worried about how I was going to be able to pull it off. Most of the ice cream/popsicle items are seasonal during the summer but we were able to pull it off with …

Which means lots of school lunch packing to do and making sure there is a snack in each of my boys backpacks. It is hard finding a snack that my kids like that they think is also “cool” when I came across these Marvel Chewy Granola bars at Target I knew that both of my boys would freak! I may have grabbed 6 boxes for my 2 boys for snacks and …

Lego Love and a Lego Birthday Party

by madeitateitlovediton May 4, 2015May 4, 20155 Comments

Legos are every moms dream. Well at least they are my dream toy! I was having a conversation with my cousin the other day and she asked me how I do it all with two crazy young, high energy boys at home. I told her one word…legos. My sons went from only sword fighting and throwing axes and shooting nerf guns and bow and arrows at each other to sitting down together and playing legos quietly. Legos allow my sons to be creative and use their imagination. Two things that I value highly in my home. Although my boys are …

Peter Pan is almost always the first ride of the day when we go to Disneyland and is usually also the ride with the longest wait time out of the smaller kid rides. But we go on it over and over again! Which ps…the Peter Pan ride is closed …
