Growing up I loved playing games.  My brother wasn't as big of a fan but he put on a smile and played with me anyways.  My husband isn't a big board game fan either so needless to say when my girls discovered board games and loved them - I was so excited!  We have tons of games in our house and we are always looking for more to add to our collection. Quick Cups looks like a fun game for any age. It's all about matching and stacking cups to a picture. When a picture card is turned over, everyone races to line up or stack up their cups in the same color order as the picture.   It sounds like a lot of fun.

Disclosure: I received an all expense paid trip to Los Angeles California for the #LiveAndMaddieEvent and #AntManEvent Press Junket. While in LA last month I had the chance to stop by the set of Liv and Maddie, one of my girl's favorite shows.  I will admit, I've sat and watched the show a few times but I've probably 'heard' every episode in the background while doing other things.  So you could say I'm very familiar with it.  We watched a little bit of rehearsal, which was cool,  and then had a quick interview with the cast.   They were all hilarious and after talking to them, I loved the show even more! The Disney Channel's Liv and Maddie is about the Rooney Family and stars Dove Cameron...

  My girls LOVE ice cream.  Not sure I know a kid who doesn't.  We definitely consume a lot of ice cream in the summertime and we love trying new flavors and combinations.  This past Christmas, I received an ice cream maker and we've had SO MUCH fun trying different recipes.  As I searched online for the recipes, I found a lot of ice cream can be made without an Ice Cream maker.  So now I make it either with it or without it!  Here are some of my favorite recipes I've found.  Some we've tried, some are on our list to try.  I hope you like them!

When the Tooth Fairy Forgets | “Why didn’t the Tooth Fairy Come, Mommy?”

by | | 6 Comments

As you know I have two children, both girls ages 10 and 8.  While my 10-year-old is pretty much all done loosing teeth, my 8-year-old has just begun.  She lost her 5th tooth three days ago and honestly the only reason I remember how many she's lost, is I counted them last night as I put the 5th one in her "hide away stash". If you read over that last paragraph fast, you may not have noticed I said she "lost her 5th tooth three days ago" and "I counted them last night".   Shouldn't that have happened two nights ago?  Um.. yes if the tooth fairy actually remembered to come! When the Tooth Fairy Forgets Two mornings ago when my 8-year-old woke up she was in a very bad mood.  This isn't all...
