Ralph Breaks the Internet will be in theaters this week (on the 21st of November). Seeing as the kids are on Thanksgiving break from school I thought it would be fun to create a themed day that they will love.
Start with these breakfast shakes, followed by downloading the free activity and coloring page printables, rent Wreck It Ralph to watch at home, and then take them to see the latest movie.
You'll find all the details over at Lady and the Blog.

We are counting down to the weekend we can chop down our Christmas tree. We have an annual tradition of going to a Christmas tree farm, Marisol is in charge of choosing the Christmas tree, and Flynn is in charge of chopping it down. We load it onto a cart, they shake it for us and bundle it up and we load it up on top of the car and drive home to decorate it while sipping festive drinks, nibbling on food, and watching Christmas movies. It's one of my favorite days.
We are adding some hand-painted ornaments to our tree this year. I'd been wanting to try this for a while and found myself with an opportunity to do them for 5 Minutes for Mom thanks to Testor's.
So, if you are looking for a fun project to do with the kids this holiday season, head on over and grab the details on how to make these.

Jay is this close to being done with college. Now that he's chosen his career path, and finished all of his general ed classes, he's focused on finishing up the classes he needs to come out with a degree in automotive technology. He's been so passionate about cars for years, spends hours tinkering away in the garage working on his own, and his friends bring theirs over to work on too. And hey, I'm not going to complain a single bit about having someone in the house who can fix my car for next to nothing for me.
Many, many years ago my mum put all of my school photos into a frame with a school bus on it and gave it to me. It had every photo from every year, and although I cringe a little when I see some of those photos, it's also a great memory that I still look at. So, I decided it was past due to make one for Jay too.
This is a quick 30-minute project (once you track down photos) and I'm sharing all the details on how to make your own over at MyPrintly.

While I was in Kentucky recently Mike and I drove through the post office to mail a letter and right there on top of the mailbox was a painted rock, we took it on a journey a couple of days later to a lake, where we took a photograph of it to post in the local Facebook group created for local rock adventures, and then vowed we'd paint our own rocks someday to leave and create fun adventures for even more families.
Well, this week I'm over at 5 Minutes for Mom showing you the perfect painted rock project to do with your kids this holiday season. They include inspirational messages, and getting the kids outdoors, so what could be better than that?
Head on over to 5 Minutes for Mom and grab all the details on this fun project.

We are at the in-between stage at home right now.
We've packed up Halloween, but don't want to put up Christmas decorations until after Thanksgiving. I don't usually decorate for Thanksgiving either, although I do have a few mini pumpkins on the mantel, a large lighted pumpkin in front of the fireplace, and am still burning the bourbon pumpkin candles.
So, most of the everyday decor has returned to its rightful place for a couple more weeks including this front door wreath.
I'm over at Make and Takes this week showing you just how easy it is to make one for your front door too, so head on over and grab the tutorial.

Last week when Mike arrived home, he walked into the living room and was surrounded by holidays. There was Halloween on one wall, and Christmas on another. Such is the life of a blogger ... while celebrating one holiday, we are often preparing content for the next one. By Christmas I'll have Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day on separate walls too I'm sure.
With that being said, I'm over at Lady and the Blog today showing you how to pull off super cheap DIY seasonal or holiday-themed art for your walls.
