Family Vacation Idaho Style!! With The Help of Winning Moves Games!
Thank you Winning Moves Games for making this July the start of THE BEST vacation! Our kids drove up to Sandpoint, Idaho to surprise The Husband for his 70th birthday. What a GREAT surprise that was! More surprising is I was able to keep my big mouth shut for an ENTIRE year!! Are you as surprised as I am?? Alice in the background didn’t look excited for a 3-day car trip. Dan wasn’t too sure either from the look on his face. HOWEVER, it was THE BEST week I’ve had in years. Activities From fishing, daughter Selena was the fishing champ with a total of 6 catches. (We did catch and release fishing). BTW, don’t you think we need a singing fish as a trophy for next years fishing champ?? Yup, it has to happen. Ebay here I come. Fishing Son Zachary was ecstatic about fishing in Idaho, he was up and gone by 5 am every morning. If you wanted to go with him, you were UP, dressed, ready to walk out the door at 5. Or you aren’t going. I did make it once. I stayed up way too late for that nonsense every day. He was easily…

My First Christmas Pick For 2022!
This business appears to have closed. BUMMER! I liked these products. I will try and find something suitable to replace it. When I do, you’ll hear about it. Trust me. Little Peanuts I have found the first item to start my Christmas Pick List for 2022. If you follow me on Instagram (wait! Why aren’t you following me on Instagram?! I’m funny. Plus there’s Winston!!) ANYWAY, as I was saying if you follow me on Instagram you know that I recently won a stunning felt hat from Hanna over a Wild Headwear. (You should follow Hanna on Instagram too… she posts some fabulous pictures! Seriously, would I steer you wrong?) The Details Back to my new hat, it is truly more beautiful in person than it shows in photographs. All the beautiful details. The stars, the trees and mountains too. Then the outline of Idaho is tucked in the center. My beautiful light brown felt hat has a burned design of mountains and my beautiful state of Idaho on one side of the hat. With the other side is sporting wildflowers. TWO Designs?? Why two designs? BECAUSE Hanna is awesome that’s why! I just absolutely love my new hat!! When…

Two-of-A-Kind: Perfect Gifts for Twins!!
Any parent of twins (or indeed just two small children of similar ages) will know that once they discover jealousy and begin to snatch at whatever the other has, your days of buying one of anything for the next decade are gone. Children seem to have an instinctive aversion to sharing, and sibling rivalry intensifies this to explosive levels. I have a few ideas for buying gifts for twins, just read on. To ease the stresses of gifting, we’ve put together this list to lend a helping hand to parents or friends and family of identical tykes. Read on if you just want to give gifts that inspire peaceful playtime, so you can enjoy a relaxing birthday/Christmas/occasion, minus tears and tantrums over who should have the coveted blue dress over the ‘horrible’ yellow one… Stuffed Animals An obvious but fail-safe and cute gift. Find out the kids’ favorite animal (bunnies and puppies are always good) or go for a classic teddy. Get them in fluffy or toweling material, and for an extra touch, get them initialed for each twin’s name. Alternatively, give the animals name tags so that the twins can name their toy themselves. Don’t forget stuffed animals that…

Pass The Pigs BIG PIGS Edition!
This NaNa’s got great tricks (or games, as you will see) up her sleeve. I brought out Pass The Pigs BIG PIG edition!! What a great game for us to play. First, it’s not a game that requires running around AND bonus it’s a great math game!! Check out these adorable oversized foam pigs! These pigs can still hit all the pig poses that their little pig dice cousins do! Pass The Pigs BIG PIG edition comes with 2 oversized foam pig dice, 1 oversized score pad, 1 drawstring pig storage pouch, 1 pencil, illustrated instructions and Pass The Pigs history. I love that all the pieces fit in the bag and stores away easy! The object of the game is to be player to score 100 points. Scoring positions are named so funny ‘snouter’ ‘trotter’ ‘leaning jowler’ The kids loved looking up the name of the throw. You can earn up to 60 points per roll. Of course there are no point throws when one pig on their left and one on their right. WHINES We are just learning the game; so each game takes us a long time, which was a great distraction for sick kids. The pigs…
