My son Porter is obsessed with Mattel’s Hot Wheels. He has a good collection of them - he eats with them in a line above his plate, he carries them in every pocket available, he "borrows" them from our neighbor Robert and sleeps with them only to wake with wheel and axle marks on his face and limbs. If one is missing or displaced among blankets or swallowed by the mattress, it takes the family search team to retrieve it. "Found it!!!" Usually is squealed by yours truly.
One of the most frequent questions I see posted in mom’s groups on Facebook, asked at the park and a general topic of conversation is what to get a one-year old for their birthday. Is there some universal gift that all one-year olds will like?
For all those little boys celebrating a birthday this summer...we have an awesome party idea to share with you!
For Greyson's 1st Birthday, we decided to do an outdoor camping theme as he loves to be outside and his daddy loves to go fishing! You don't need to live in the mountains or by a river to throw this party...you can bring the great outdoors right to very own backyard!
When planning outdoor entertainment, a backyard barbecue party often comes to mind, especially during warmer days. Taking the party outdoors will make the event an informal one, allowing the food to take center stage.
For your next backyard barbecue party, take a little time and make the gathering more fun and entertaining.
What's the most memorable wedding anniversary present you've received from your special someone? A pair of diamond earrings? A sentimental card or framed photo?
As it turns out, there's actually a tradition associated with anniversary gifts. Dating back to medieval times, the 25th and 50th were "silver" and "golden" respectively - and by the 1930's, many milestone anniversaries had gift suggestions of their own. Over the years, the tradition has been updated and modernized to it's current form.
Grab yourself a taco and put on your sombrero - because today is Cinco de Mayo!
With a name that loosely means the "5th of May" in Spanish, Cinco de Mayo is a national holiday in Mexico and it's certainly celebrated with enthusiasm in the United States as well.
I had a gorgeous weekend. Sad to see Spring Break end, but we celebrated everything we could in that last week including Passover and Easter.
We always keep the traditional Jewish holidays, but this year my sister and her kids were visiting, so Easter followed and it turned into one big blended holiday packed with great family memories! Of course there were lots of laughs too!!!
