The greatest thing about bingo, is that it is fun for ALL ages! My two year old can play (although he definitely loses patience quicker than my four and six year old, who take their bingo very seriously) and my eighty-eight year old Grandpa loves it just as much! For this reason, it is the perfect game to play at family get togethers while little ones are waiting around for food to be prepared, and adding in holiday themes makes everything more fun! After I saw how much my kids loved the Easter bingo that I made for them, I knew we needed to add a Thanksgiving Bingo to our collection! [Read more…]

I love a good DIY challenge. Some of my favorite projects ever have come from being given some guidelines or specific materials to work with. So, when BEHR® contacted me to see if I wanted to do their #BEHRBox challenge it was an obvious, YES.
I feel like I should add that my husband and I are obsessed with BEHR® Marquee paint. The quality is amazing (and we have tried lots of paints.) You can’t find a better paint for the price. It’s so good. Their 2018 color trends have just been announced and they are so good. The color of the year is called “In The Moment” – it’s that greyish, blueish green you see in the photos. The challenge is to use their 2018 Color Trends palette to create a DIY project that is inspired by the items that came in my #BEHRBox. It also needs to be easy and something that can be done in one weekend. My kind of project! Two weeks from now I’ll share my DIY Pretty fun, right? It gets better. We are giving away a $100 Home Depot gift card, so if you have your wheels turning thinking about a project, you should definitely enter – more info will be at the bottom of this post! [Read more…]
