This was such a fun and easy craft to do with the kids in preparation for St. Patrick’s Day. my oldest even added to the craft and drew a leprechaun. To get the complete instructions on how we did this, click here.

Disney on Ice Celebrates 100 Years of Magic was an amazing show to watch as a kid or even an adult. We were lucky enough to go to Friday night’s showing and our entire family had a wonderful time.
We sang along to 24 of our favorite Disney songs. I especially enjoyed Genie.
And my son danced in the aisles.
My daughter was in a trance the entire time!
The look on all of their faces was just priceless. It is something that I will always remember. I absolutely love seeing how much fun they are having. They all looked at me in disappointment when it was time for intermission. I had to explain to each of them that this was like halftime in a football game.
I was extremely pleased at the various characters that made an appearance, including Pinocchio since it was a movie made so much longer ago than the ones my kids are used to.
Mickey was my son’s favorite:
The princesses were my youngest daughter’s favorite:
My oldest daughter really enjoyed the performance by The Incredibles:
We also enjoyed the appearances of Stitch, Finding Nemo, Toy Story, Mulan and the beautiful skating in The Lion King.
I would definitely recommend seeing this spectacular show. It was such an amazingly wonderful experience that I am so grateful that my kids had the chance to experience. Disney on Ice surely created the magic that is found in my little one’s hearts.
Sing along with 24 of your favorite Disney songs when Disney On Ice celebrates 100 years of Magic arrives in Pittsburgh at the CONSOL Energy Center, March 5-9, 2014.

DID YOU KNOW???????
We had the amazing opportunity to attend Monster Jam 2014 this year. It provided massive entertainment for my kids. I, unfortunately, was unable to go but my husband and kids went. When they got home, they couldn’t stop talking about the tricks they saw.
My son really likes zombies. Go figure.
But then he goes nuts about dogs. 
Look at how high that is! Amazing!!!
Looks like they really enjoyed themselves!
Monster Jam is really a great, family-oriented show that is fun, amazing and packed full of excitement. My family and I have gone for 2 years in a row and this year, my kids really looked forward to going. They loved seeing the commercials and asking me how long until they get to see it in person.
I was, however, able to attend the Superheroes & Sweethearts Valentine’s Party on February 13th, the day before Monster Jam began. We were able to see Iron Man and meet the driver, Lee O’Donnell. We even got his autograph and took a picture with him.
My kids had a blast getting balloon animals, free snacks and creating superhero-inspired Valentine’s Day crafts. See my daughter showing off her crafts? She had so much fun!
This year, Monster Jam teamed up with Tickets for Kids in an effort to raise 1,000 tickets to send underprivileged youth and their families to Monster Jam. For every person that attended this event, Monster Jam donated one ticket to Tickets for Kids for the show in Pittsburgh. How awesome was that?!?! I was very pleased to see such a HUGE turnout!

Isn’t this wreath just too cool? I absolutely love that my 3 kids made this. It is such a quick and easy (and quiet) craft for them to make. You may already have all the materials in your home and if you don’t, you won’t need much. It is a very cheap craft. Click on the link HERE to read the entire article about how to make this wreath.

So now that we are finally settled into our new home and know what our expenses are like, we decided to get back to our monthly meal planning which will help us track our food and lessen those “extras” that we tend to buy every time we go to the store.
**This is what works for us. You can customize this so it suits your needs and budget. This post is simply to suggest some ideas that might work for you and your family.
Our kids typically just enjoy cereal or Pop-Tarts for breakfast with the occasional pancakes or muffins on the weekends when I have time to cook a large breakfast. That’s why I have those listed at the bottom of the document. Lunches for the kids are either PB&J or pepperoni and cheese, with the occasional chocolate/coconut/almond butter (my own recipe) sandwich or Nutella sandwich or frozen pizza on the weekends. The “other” is there for other ideas that I might have for the month for any one of us in the family.
This document can also be used as the shopping list. Once we write down what we want for the month, we know what we need to purchase. We write the “extras” on the back such Continue reading
