5 Magical Places to Explore on the Emerald Isle of Ireland

I wish that our road trip could have lasted longer and I fell in love with all of the Irish folklore, legends, and art. I cannot wait to return one day! So here are my favorite experiences during our adventure through Ireland. Dingle Peninsula On the Western coast of the country is the…

Smurfs: The Lost Village Party, Craft and Recipe Ideas
This past week we had a chance to host a Smurfs-inspired party in anticipation of the Smurfs: The Lost Village Blu-ray and DVD release beginning of July! Be sure to check it out and host your own Family Movie Night! I love simple yet cute additions that are easy for us busy moms to put together. The mushroom tic-tac-toe game we created that was inspired by the Smurfs mushrooms and was super easy and you only need a few items. The vanilla bean cupcakes are seriously the best ones I’ve made!

It’s No “Wonder” Why We #ChooseKind
We are so excited as a family to see “Wonder” coming to the big screen this November. My daughter read the book last year and fell in love with it and connected as well with it. She talked about “Wonder” from the time she started until she put it down – and it’s continued on. She even commented on several occasions that they should: “make it a movie”. And voila! Now it’s come to fruition. I’m writing this as a prod to go and see it when it comes out; although before that happens I highly recommend if you haven’t (or even if you have) to read the book [or…
