Make this simple, 3 ingredient Patriotic Popcorn the star of your July 4th celebration.

Red, white and blue candy coated popcorn

I don’t know about you but July 4th really snuck up on me this year. In fact, this whole summer seems to be flying by. With the July 4th holiday only a few days away, I’m putting the final touches on our annual July 4th cookout but I already know one recipe that will be making it’s annual appearance – Patriotic Popcorn. This crowd pleasing snack for the kids has kids and adults alike coming back for more. The festive colors look great on any table setting and the sweet and salty combination is one everyone will love. This patriotic popcorn is one of my go-to July 4th recipes. With just three ingredients, red and blue candy melts and popcorn, it’s almost to simple not to make. Plus this Patriotic Popcorn is so festive it’s hard not to love it.

Winnie the Pooh Pops Inspired by Disney’s Christopher Robin

Cool off with these delicious Winnie the Pooh Pops inspired by Disney’s #ChristopherRobin

Winnie the Pooh Pops

Growing up, Winnie the Pooh was one of my favorite characters so to say I’m a little excited to see my pals from the Hundred Acre Wood back in a live action adventure would be an understatement. Disney’s CHRISTOPHER ROBIN is one movie I can’t wait to see this summer. While we wait for August 3rd to roll around, I’m getting creative in the kitchen with the kids making fun Pooh themed recipes like these Winnie the Pooh Pops or my yummy Winnie the Pooh Smoothie that I shared a few weeks ago.

Winnie the Pooh Smoothie Inspired by Disney’s Christoper Robin

I was an attendee at the 2018 Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. I paid a conference fee to attend and received discounted & complimentary items from Walt Disney World, Disney Cruise Line, and their sponsors. Attendees are not required to write about our experiences at the conference. All opinions are my own.

During this year’s Disney Social Media Moms Celebration, we were treated to an extended look at Disney’s Christopher Robin coming to theaters August 3, 2018. Growing up with Winnie the Pooh, seeing Pooh come to life on the big screen was a little nostalgic. I even shed a few tears watching the trailer and I’m already counting down the days until it’s released. Not only did I grow up with Winner the Pooh but both of my kids did too and I’m not going to lie, some of the messages in the film really hit close to home. With the excitement building around the movie, I wanted to keep the fun going at home so I whipped up these Winnie the Pooh Smoothies for the kids.  [Read more…] about Winnie the Pooh Smoothie Inspired by Disney’s Christoper Robin

Mickey and the Roadster Racers Traffic Light Snacks

It’s no surprise that both of my kids love cars and racing. Having a mom and dad who are into cars and actually met because of their cards, it’s on naturally they’d love cars as much as we do.  Especially Evie. It’s definitely in her genes and probably explains why she loves the Disney Junior series MICKEY AND THE ROADSTER RACERS. She literally watches the show every day.  She has a motorized Minnie Mouse car that she sits in while she watches too.  During commercial breaks, she’ll grab a wipe and wipe down her car. Her love of “vroom vrooms” (what she calls them) runs deep. It doesn’t help that daddy has a supercharged Chevy Camaro in the driveway that she just adores. She has a need for speed and definitely gets her fill watching her favorite character’s race around.  [Read more…] about Mickey and the Roadster Racers: Start Your Engines Traffic Light Snack

Moana Blu-Ray Available Now | Moana Cupcake Recipe

Moana Cupcake Recipe

We’ve had a Moana movie marathon going on in our house since last week. When we arrived home from the Poconos we had a package on our doorstep and both kids rushed to grab it. They knew it was a movie and were thrilled to see Moana in there! They’ve been begging to see this since we missed it when it was in theaters. I thought Evie might be too little to sit through an entire movie when it was release so this was one we were waiting for on DVD. Well that day is finally here! While we may have had a sneak peek last week, you can own it on Blu-ray today! It’s quickly become a family favorite and we’re watched it at least 5 times already! Since it was a little chilly this weekend, we hung out at home and had our own little Moana movie night. Since no movie night is complete without a delicious treat, so I made these Moana inspired cupcakes and I just love how they came out!  [Read more…] about Moana Blu-Ray Available Now | Moana Cupcake Recipe

Cool Off with this Orange Cream Float Recipe

This Orange Cream Float recipe is in partnership with Tampico Beverages. All opinions are my own.

One of my favorite parts of homeschooling our kids is the flexibility it allows them to focus on their passions and things they are interested in. While the toddler is just hitting the preschool age, the activities we do with her are fun more than anything. For my oldest on the other hand, his work is only getting harder and it may not be as fun to him as it used to be. Because we have the flexibility to plan out our lessons and cater them to his interests, we do that as much as we can. Take for instance, his love of cooking. He’s been cooking in the kitchen with me since he could walk and all that practice over the years has really paid off. He’s turning into quite the little chef. So we make sure to include plenty of cooking into our week for him to hone his skills.
