Dinosaurs in Arizona

 Last weekend I got to take the boys to Jurassic Quest while it was here in in Arizona.  Both boys were so excited to go check it out and it started off so great with them being able to check out a baby dinosaur while we waited in line to get inside. (an amazing start!)

My older son loved reading about and seeing all the different dinosaurs they had on display. They loved exploring the dino fossils and there was even a craft area to take home their own paper dinosaurs.  There was SO many more activities there to do that we could’ve spent at least a few more hours there. 

It was so much fun for both boys, which is a win for everyone!  I also loved how interactive everything was, even the dinosaur display.  We can’t wait to see them come back to visit again!

St Patrick’s Day Inspo

I gathered up some photos throughout the last few St. Patrick’s Days for a little inspiration to 

get us in the mood for this coming holiday!

Wrapping Up Valentine’s Day

Rose Sugar Cookies

 Last year I finally posted a video about how to make (surprisingly) easy but impactful rose cookies.

I’ve made these for Valentine’s Day, bachelor/bachelorette viewing nights, I’ve even turned them into apples for teachers before! A good sugar cookie, piping tip & some fondant is all you need! See the full tutorial HERE!

Chick Flick Bucket List

 I have created the ultimate list of must-watch chick flick movies for the best Galentine’s celebration ever! You’ll laugh…you’ll cry…you’ll laugh until you cry! Check them off by yourself, or with your girls…either way I guarantee a good time!

Spring Sand Sensory Bin

 It’s no secret I absolutely love a good sensory bin.  My 4-year old is no stranger to them and at this point he loves picking out his own accessories to create his own bins.

I put together a garden/spring inspired sensory bin based in kinetic sand. Here’s a step by step I pulled from my Instagram reel:

It was a big hit, I’ve already done another spring sensory bin that…I dare say…was even more of a hit than this one was! I promise to share it soon.
