What is the face of your dinner table?
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Barilla, but opinions are my own.
Today we are getting real. A lot of times we do not want others to see what goes on behind our closed doors. But, today we are sharing with you what our table looks like at meal time.
Sometimes we have happy faces.
Sometimes we have angry faces.
Sometimes we have sad faces.
Sometimes we laugh.
Sometimes we fight.
Sometimes someone doesn't want to be talked to.
Sometimes someone doesn't ...

I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie
I'm sure you have all heard of the book I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly. But, have you heard of the book I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie? When we went to the library to find a couple other books, we ran across this book. I had not heard of this book before, so I was excited to take this home to read it with my son.
I found this great printable to go along with the book I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie. I wanted to do something a little bit different so we ...
How To Make A Spaceship from an Egg
One day while perusing the craft store I discovered a large egg. I thought surely there must be something fun that I can do with this, so I bought it. They come in a few different colors, but I chose the yellow. After some brainstorming I thought what if we made a spaceship. There are many different kinds that have an egg or a dome shape that kids who watch movies are aware of such as Little Einsteins, The Jetsons or Meet The Robinsons.
Today we decided to make a spaceship like the one ...
This Is The Place Heritage Park
I know many of us have visited This Is The Place Heritage Park at one point or another. But, have you visited during Baby Animal Season?! Did you know they had a Baby Animal Season? I didn't until just recently when a friend of mine posted a picture of her son holding a baby chicken. I immediately called, asked where she was, and planned a time when I could take my kids. Baby Animal Season is only April 3 - May 23. Obviously the baby animals won't be as little when you go ...
The Gingerbread Man
This weeks we are excited to talk about the book The Gingerbread Man. This is another classic book that is many of us have grown up reading. The story is about a woman who wanted to do something nice for her husband because of all the hard work he does around their house and yard. So, she decided to make a Gingerbread Man cookie. Once she takes the cookie out of the oven it comes to life and run out of their house. The cookie runs past different animals telling them "you can't ...
Chore Chart: Lanyard Style
Have you accepted our Challenge: Shed 300 in 30 days? Wednesday is day 30, the last day of our challenge. Whether you have been following our challenge or have been doing your own spring cleaning now is a great time to start a chore chart. This is a way to keep my kids and myself on track each day.
We moved almost two years ago. I quickly realized we needed a chore chart to keep things semi clean. Why semi clean? When young kids are helping clean they are trying their best (most of the ...
Ogden Dinosaur Park – Discovering Utah
Each year when the weather starts to warm up I begin to think about what we are going to do over the summer.

Each Friday we are going to share a location in Utah where you can take your family. We will share pictures so you know what to expect. We will share family friendly facts about the ...
The Very Hungry Caterpillar
This weeks book is an all time favorite, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. We fell in love with this book when K was just one. It is a cute story about a caterpillar who is very hungry and eats all these different things, but gets sick. In the end only one leaf makes him feel well enough. It's always fun to have my kids guess what is going to happen throughout the book. Have your kids tell you what happens at the end of the book, and then read to see if they were right. The illustrati...
Easter Egg Planter
When we made a trip to the local dollar store for supplies for our Easter Egg Door Decoration we picked up a few other supplies. You know when you have an idea so you buy a few supplies even when you are not sure if it will work out or not? That is what we did. This craft actually took about 10 minutes. We wanted to create something before school so we put this together. The girls were overly excited to help this time.
Supplies:
Rectangular planter
Rectangular foam
Rocks

General Conference {FREE} Printable
Around this time I start to wonder "How I am going to keep my Little Chefs busy or engaged or willing to watch General Conference?" What is the best method? There are so many resources out there with different options and suggestions. (We have also shared a General Conference Packet previously.) I have found the best method is different for each of my girls. Their ages and abilities make it difficult to have one rule that fits all. I have come to realize that it is ok for each person to have ...
