    2020 Holiday Gift Guide Secret Santa (Under $50)

    We are on day five of this year’s gift guides. I contemplated including a Secret Santa gift guide this year; however, I feel like even with everything that is going on people will still do it. It might just be a virtual Secret Santa. In addition, I held a poll on my Instagram to see if I should stick to my normal $25 or raise it to $50. The majority voted to raise it. I hope you find something you like in my 2020 holiday gift guide Secret Santa edition. This post contains affiliate links.

    2020 Holiday Gift Guide for 0-2 Year Olds

    It’s officially the time of year for my Holiday gift guides! These are some of my favorite posts to do every year. I love searching for my favorite gifts for each age group.

    5 COVID Safe Things to do this Halloween Season in Las Vegas

    We are in the midst of Halloween season; however, this year is much different from normal. Usually, I’m getting ready to go to trunk or treats during the month, and trick or treating on Halloween night. Halloween is even on a Saturday this year. I figured it would be a long day of on and off trick or treating. Unfortunately, COVID is still a problem. In addition, we have a few high risk people in our family to worry about. I wanted to find some things we could do that are still safe to participate in.  We will be skipping trick or treating all together. I won’t even be handing…

    Things to Help Keep You in the Halloween Spirit

    Halloween is right around the corner, but with COVID this year is going to be different. I know there are people who are comfortable taking their kids trick-or-treating; however, my husband and I are not. Instead we are going to be throwing the kids a Halloween party. Halloween is on a Saturday, which means I have an entire day to fill with fun stuff. I figured there are other people like me and my husband. That is why I compiled a list of things to help keep you in the Halloween spirit this year. There is a good mix of snacks, decor, crafts, and even party ideas. Things to Help…

    Rice Creeper Treats

    DJ recently had his 5th birthday party, and it was Minecraft themed. One of the snacks that I made for the birthday party I named Rice Creeper Treats. They were pretty simple to make, and were such a huge hit. I wanted to share them with you to make for a Minecraft loving child in your life. The first thing I did was melt the butter and marshmallow together. Once it was all melted and gooey I added in several drops of green food coloring until it was a bright green color.  After the marshmallow was green I mixed in all the Rice Krispie cereal. It wasn’t as green as…
