<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My son is new to the youth organization at <a href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng">our church</a>. He and his quorum have set a goal to memorize the <a href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/church/news/read-the-new-young-men-theme?lang=eng">new Aaronic Priesthood theme for the Young Men</a>. The church website had a <a href="https://store.churchofjesuschrist.org/usa/en/young-women-theme-poster-%282019-version%29">free download for the Young Women theme</a> but there wasn't one available for the <a href="https://store.churchofjesuschrist.org/usa/en/aaronic-priesthood-quorum-theme-poster-85055921-1">Young Men</a> so we decided to make our own. I kept the design nice and simple and the lettering large and easy to read. </div>

<br />
Every year at Christmastime I try to help my children look outside of themselves by encouraging them to make gifts that they can give to family and friends. (For more ideas be sure to check out my gift guide <a href="http://www.serving-pink-lemonade.com/2014/01/gift-guide-to-gifts-children-can-make.html">HERE</a>.) While homeschooling my daughters co-op preschool last year we spent a month talking about serving and helping others. We talked about how when we serve our family it's like giving them a little gift. Giving a hug, helping mom or dad, or telling a story to a sibling are all little gifts we can give. When we do these things it's like we're a present! One week at preschool I wrapped each of the kids up in wrapping paper, put a big bow on their heads and took their picture. They though that was so much fun! This was in preparation to make a gift they could give their parents for Christmas and as a reminder that they can help and serve others.<br />
<br /></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The kids each got to paint a little frame for their picture to go in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<a href="http://www.serving-pink-lemonade.com/2019/12/cute-christmas-ornament-for.html"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1279" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wXxdhT6fUAc/XAbNpMJDJ1I/AAAAAAAAEuE/MGBONHbQa3EPwFepsbtreGMUozgqGAviwCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_7538-001.JPG" width="510" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
I printed off the pictures and placed them in the frame, strung a ribbon through the top, and placed some lyrics that I remember from my childhood--about how we are like a present when we serve others--on the back.</div>

A previous year I did a similar thing with my son's preschool group. I wasn't up for a painting project that year so I let the kids color their wood frames with red and green crayons to keep it simple and not have to worry about drying time.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kids were SO excited to see their little ornaments all put together the next time we met. They each got to put their ornament in a box and wrap it up to put under the tree when they got home and give to their moms and dads on Christmas morning. It was so much fun to see the excitement in their eyes as they prepared these gifts to give away. I think they turned out adorably cute!</div>

<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kss796IlQ_k/XArILk_2N6I/AAAAAAAAEvE/1DvV6KA8YwoxeufekSoZBSLlVPpajNUSgCLcBGAs/s1600/SnowGlobeOrnament.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="768" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kss796IlQ_k/XArILk_2N6I/AAAAAAAAEvE/1DvV6KA8YwoxeufekSoZBSLlVPpajNUSgCLcBGAs/s640/SnowGlobeOrnament.jpg" width="512" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I ran into these laminated snow globe ornaments on <a href="https://www.craftymorning.com/laminated-photo-snowglobe-ornaments/">Crafty Morning</a> last year and thought they were so cute and clever. My kids helped me to make some to send to their grandparents for Christmas and I think they turned out great! I'm always looking for ways my kids can think outside of themselves at Christmastime and have opportunities to give to others. Be sure to check out my <a href="http://www.serving-pink-lemonade.com/2014/01/gift-guide-to-gifts-children-can-make.html">gift guide</a> of gifts that kids can make and give for more ideas!<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MHDlhJdDfVs/XAnTzje5ejI/AAAAAAAAEuo/wCb7YUlNDI4mzXg-nP_cCm3tTeJ1SvhNACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7611.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1279" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MHDlhJdDfVs/XAnTzje5ejI/AAAAAAAAEuo/wCb7YUlNDI4mzXg-nP_cCm3tTeJ1SvhNACLcBGAs/s640/IMG_7611.JPG" width="510" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
To make the snow globe ornaments I started out with a picture that I had taken earlier in the year of my kids. I copied it into a Word document and shrunk in down to be approximately three inches long. I then printed it onto card stock using a high quality print setting.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7NVD4LYuhaU/XAnTvCw2VmI/AAAAAAAAEuY/ZSr62xPiVLkHL-QMQOqTxkcRcKXa8gWCACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_5350.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1068" data-original-width="1600" height="266" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7NVD4LYuhaU/XAnTvCw2VmI/AAAAAAAAEuY/ZSr62xPiVLkHL-QMQOqTxkcRcKXa8gWCACLcBGAs/s400/IMG_5350.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then came the tricky part of cutting out around all the fine details.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Pu1mj2I5E2U/XAnTuBT0jyI/AAAAAAAAEuQ/J34DHbZjVvERBSg7v-g5Ybbfgyb8kerFgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7579.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1068" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Pu1mj2I5E2U/XAnTuBT0jyI/AAAAAAAAEuQ/J34DHbZjVvERBSg7v-g5Ybbfgyb8kerFgCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_7579.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
I then opened a laminating pouch and on the inside drew a 3 1/2 inch circle using a pen. My kids helped me paint the lower half of the circle using craft paint and then we sprinkled on some fine glitter. We placed the picture in the center of the circle and after giving the paint a few minutes to dry closed the pouch and ran it through the laminating machine. Once cool we cut out the circles and cut the bases from blue card stock, two for each ornament.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TlfqOw7CBR0/XAnTyt-kd3I/AAAAAAAAEug/rw8h2foXUJ8w1f1uHHrUNq9jZKx0K7lpwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7606.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TlfqOw7CBR0/XAnTyt-kd3I/AAAAAAAAEug/rw8h2foXUJ8w1f1uHHrUNq9jZKx0K7lpwCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_7606.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
Using double sided tape we overlapped the blue base slightly over the laminated snow globe making sure the edges were even. We then turned it over and applied a second base to the backside to give it a more finished look and a little more stability.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-txsq0inbGOQ/XAnTyh-4GRI/AAAAAAAAEuk/dEcLdybNr1ACN23oerCJ85LmV4FPYRQqgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7608.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1064" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-txsq0inbGOQ/XAnTyh-4GRI/AAAAAAAAEuk/dEcLdybNr1ACN23oerCJ85LmV4FPYRQqgCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_7608.JPG" width="424" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
The final touch was punching a hole near the top, stringing through some bakers twine, and tying a knot. The kids were excited to then wrap them up and send them off the Grandma and Grandpa. I think they did a fabulous job! They turned out so cute!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJkE1_HrW7K0qDry2p4eaoRUUSAvwr-w6Bb6XIMLoiQzdoZkyZfFr_eWxd3A0DUa19Wkwe_hAtPkQJhr5V15Zn16a4SJpZbmTK140bfpUlgCpjYZ_yC8LVywB2ZOqFutevCq39LumICdPN/s1600/IMG_7616.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1275" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJkE1_HrW7K0qDry2p4eaoRUUSAvwr-w6Bb6XIMLoiQzdoZkyZfFr_eWxd3A0DUa19Wkwe_hAtPkQJhr5V15Zn16a4SJpZbmTK140bfpUlgCpjYZ_yC8LVywB2ZOqFutevCq39LumICdPN/s640/IMG_7616.JPG" width="510" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
And because we wanted to have some more fun with this snow globe idea a few of my kids made one of their own. It was fun to see what they chose to pick to go inside their snow globe, although I can't say I'm surprised--they picked some of their favorite things!<br />
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I created some free goodies for the 2020 Youth Theme for <a href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng">my church</a>. I wanted to share them here in case anyone else could use them.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The printable below I created to be a 8.5 x 11 binder cover but, of course, could be used for anything you want. I also have labels for the binder spines for the YW presidency and advisers. You can find them in the download link.</div>

My seven year old informed me last year that he wanted a Star Wars birthday party. I'm not especially knowledgeable in all things Star Wars so I headed to my favorite source of inspiration--Pinterest--to search for party and game ideas. Now, Pinterest very rarely lets me down and this was one of the few times it did. No matter how much I searched or how many blog posts I clicked through and read I just wasn't finding any ideas that wow-ed me. As I became more desperate I finally went to my husband for help and, as he often does, he surprised me with a bunch of really creative and fun ideas that I loved. As the pieces of this party started to come together I was getting really excited about it. Me. Getting excited about a Star Wars birthday party. That says a lot. The party turned out to be a blast and I think everyone had a lot of fun, especially the birthday boy.</div>

I didn't take a ton of pictures but I wanted to share some of the fun we had to possibly help anyone who may be looking for their own inspiration for a similar type party.</div>

I love to create digital party invitations for my kids birthdays and I love to send them through <a href="https://www.paperlesspost.com/">Paperless Post</a>. They have a lot of fun options other evite sites don't have, which is why I find their site fun to use. I won't share the invitation I made here since it has too much personal information on it but Pinterest and Etsy are full of creative Star Wars invite ideas.</div>

My seven year old helped me create this chalk board art and added his own special touch with the lightsaber drawing. The Jedi robe is a favorite dress up that his grandma made him a few years ago.</div>

<b>Blowing Up the Death Star</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As the party began and friends trickled in everyone kept busy making paper air planes and aiming them for the Death Star in an attempt to blow it up. The kids had a blast and could have done this all day. It was hard to pull them away and move on to the next thing. This Death Star is a beach ball that my son got for his birthday a few years ago. I found it on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/SwimWays-Star-Death-Light-up-Beach/dp/B00PNCIU7A/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=death+star+beach+ball&qid=1569523785&sr=8-2">Amazon</a> for around $5. </div>

<b>Obstacle Course in the Swamp with Yoda</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We then headed down to the basement where we trained with Yoda in the swamp. We showed a little clip from the movie on our projector where Obi-Wan Kanobi talks about what a Jedi is and what the force is (because I figured some kids might not know), and then had the kids take <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Hallmark-Stuffed-Animal-Bittys-School/dp/B00TC4XXRC/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=yoda+plush&qid=1569524070&sr=8-4">this little Yoda</a> through an obstacle course that was set up in the basement.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Using the Force</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After that, all the friends got to practice using the force by moving some meteorites. I had two big balls of foil sitting on a long toy shelf. There was some fishing line attached and looped through a beam overhead. My 10 and 12 year olds hid behind the shelf and pulled the fishing line to have the "meteorite" rise as each party go-er used the force. The kids were really surprised at first to see the meteorites move. It was fun to see the reaction on their faces. It didn't take them long to figure out what was actually happening but they still had a lot of fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Lightsaber Training</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then it was time for lightsaber training. I lucked out finding some lightsabers at the dollar store for the kids to use. They worked perfectly for our party and when the party was over the kids got to take one home as a party favor. My husband is the best and agreed to lead the kids in this activity and taught them some moves like they do at the Jedi Training Academy at Disneyland. If you search YouTube you can find a bunch of videos of it to help you understand what I'm talking about. It was fun to see the kids take it so seriously and really enjoy it.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And then . . . (cue the music) Darth Vader walked around the corner and down the stairs! My bestest ever 12 year old wore her little brothers jacket and a Darth Vader mask that I found at Target's dollar spot. Each newly trained Jedi then got to battle Darth Vader (background music included). </div>

<b>Lightsaber Balloon Game</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Of course we defeated Darth Vader and celebrated with a bunch of balloons. We used the balloons to play a game using the lightsabers to try and keep the balloons from touching the ground.</div>

We then headed upstairs and continued our celebration of defeating Darth Vader by eating Wookie cookies and opening presents.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
These cute little Wookies were fun to make. I used a gingerbread man cookie cutter and added the marks with a fork before baking. Once the cookies cooled I piped on the details using melted chocolate chips and white chocolate chips. I thought they turned out to be a fun treat. The birthday boy sure liked them!<br />

<br />
<b>Lightsaber Limbo and Hot Potato Yoda</b><br />
After treats we still had some time left so we played a few more games that the birthday boy came up with. First we played lightsaber limbo by limbo-ing under a lightsaber. Then we played hot potato with our <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Hallmark-Stuffed-Animal-Bittys-School/dp/B00TC4XXRC/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=plush+yoda&qid=1569535203&sr=8-4">cute little plush Yoda</a>. I thought they were such creative ideas and a lot of fun!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
From the amount of fun I saw everyone having I would call this party a success! I think the birthday boy made a lot of fun memories and had a blast with his friends. This will definitely be a party we will remember for a long time.<br />

The colors can be arranged to make other designs too. My 10 year old informed me that pictured bellow is a greatball, pokeball, and ultraball.</div>

Here are all the pieces ironed and ready to start building. The key to making your pokeball come together easily is to iron the pieces just enough to have them melt together. If you use too much heat and pressure so that the pieces get too flat it will be hard for the pieces to fit together easily.</div>

Putting your pokeball together is kind of like building a 3D puzzle. The pieces fit and lock together. Follow the visual instructions below to build your pokeball.</div>

No-bake cookies were a favorite of mine as a girl. I wanted to share this childhood favorite with my kids but most no-bake cookie recipes call for a whopping two cups of sugar! This grown up healthier version tweaks the ingredients a tad to make them better for you. Instead of all that sugar these cookies are sweetened with only 1/3 cup honey. I think this recipe tastes just as good as the original except that I feel better feeding it to my family.<br />
<br />
We have a peanut allergy in our house so instead of the the traditional peanut butter I use sunflower seed butter and we like them just as much that way. I also like to use a combination of old fashioned oats and quick oats to add some variety to the texture. If you only have one or the other on hand just use what you have and they will still be delicious.<br />

I love this online invitation sight over others because it allows me to upload and send the 5x7 invitations I create. They also have a lot of pre-made invitations and unique options that other sites don't offer like envelopes.</div>

My daughter has a lot of friends that are boys so my 12 year old and I brainstormed how we could make this princess party really fun for them too without things being too frilly or girly. We decided that we would take the kids on a royal quest to get to the ball. It ended up being so much fun! This party idea would also work great for a prince or knight party--or even a combined princess/knight party!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When the party goers arrived they were invited to decorate a party bag. We provided lots of stickers and markers for them to make their bag unique and we made sure everyone put their name on it so they wouldn't get mixed up with someone elses.</div>

As the kids were finishing up my 12 year old arrived dressed up like a royal messenger a read to them a proclamation from the king and queen. It said the king and queen were throwing a ball for the birthday girl but they must complete a quest to get to the ball. They would have to cross a treacherous bridge to acquire a enchanted potion, help rescue some baby unicorns, and unlock a secret door to retrieve a magical weapon in case they encountered a dragon. When they arrive at the ball they will be crowed for their brave accomplishments. They were then invited to take their party bag and follow her into the next room to begin their quest and play the first game.</div>

Before the kids were sent on their quest they were to receive a farewell token from a prince or princess. We played pin-the-kiss on the prince (or princess). After completing the game each child got a few Hershey kisses to add to their party bag.</div>

We then headed upstairs where the kids were faced with a treacherous bridge to cross. They walked across the balance beam (the balloons represented water) and when they got to the other side they received a enchanted potion (bubbles) to add to their party bag.</div>

Then we headed downstairs to the basement. This is where we had to rescue the baby unicorns. I had an obstacle course set up down there for the kids to complete. When they got to one end of the course they got to pick a baby unicorn from the nest to add to their party bag. They then would finish the course and tag the next friend for their turn.</div>

Our last game required the kids to unlock a secret door to retrieve a magical weapon. To play this game they had to throw a bean bag into the keyhole cutout of a box. After throwing their beanbag in they received their magical weapon. The girls got wands and the boys got small daggers (that my older kids so generously made out of perler beads.)</div>

These weapons sure came in handy too because as they came back upstairs there was a dragon waiting around the corner. To get by they simply had to aim their weapon at the dragon (who was my very helpful nine year old) and he would cower allowing them to pass. </div>

Getting past the dragon completed the quest! At the top of the stairs the king (who was my very sweet six year old all dressed up) congratulated everyone and crowned each party goer for completing the quest and making it to the ball.</div>

Everyone was then granted entrance into the ball and we had a fun and fabulous freeze dance party.</div>

It was a super fun morning and I think everyone had a blast! I especially have to thank my 12, 9, and 6 year old children who helped me brainstorm ideas for this party (the best ideas were theirs!) and for helping me to pull it off. They are the best!</div>

We had a successful activity at our church youth night recently. The young women created a bucket list of things they wanted to complete in the next year or two and then they made these cute little pebble magnets to remind them of the <a href="https://www.lds.org/young-women/personal-progress/young-women-theme?lang=eng">Young Women Values</a>. They're a fun size and can be used in their school locker, on a memo board, or on any magnetic surface in their room. The girls seemed to enjoy the activity and the magnets came together nicely in the hour we were together.<br />
<br />

The girls had two choices to pick from. They could have a colored background with white lettering or a white background with colored lettering. The clear pebble stones I got where between 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch. They can sometimes be found at Dollar Tree but most craft stores should have them also.<br />

<br />
<br />
To make the magnets I found it works best to place the pebble on top of the paper, centering it on the lettering, and trace around it with a pencil. Cut out the circle just on the inside of the traced circle. Brush a very thin layer of mod podge onto the flat surface of the pebble and place the paper on top, lettered side down. Allow to dry an few minutes and then apply a magnet. If your magnet does not have self adhesive, glue on the magnet using a hot glue gun. Using another kind of glue will cause the ink to bleed and ruin your whole project. (Trust me on this one. I know from sad experience.)<br />

Hopefully these cute little magnets can act as a reminder to the girls of the values they hold and also to be working on their <a href="https://www.lds.org/young-women/personal-progress?lang=eng">Personal Progress</a>.<br />

I made a 4x6 memo board to display the magnets on by using this fun frame from IKEA and a scrap piece of sheet metal. It worked well to temporarily to show off these little gems.<br />

The other day my four year old found a bag of fabric scraps from old sewing projects. As she was looking through them she got a most terrible idea. "Let's make Barbie clothes out of this fabric Mom!" "No way Jose!" I thought. Sewing teeny tiny Barbie clothes is not what I consider a good time. But then inspiration struck that made both me and my daughter happy. Introducing "the ridiculously easy Barbie dress that can be sewn in under a minute". No tight seems to sew or itty bitty hems to finish. These pretty dresses are so easy to make, your Barbie could have a whole new wardrobe in just ten minutes.<br />
<br />

You can even use the same pattern to make a long maxi dress, a shorter knee length dress, or even just a simple t-shirt.</div>

Ready for the super simple instructions?<br />
<br />
Start with a piece of knit fabric that is approximately <b>14 inches long and 3 inches wide</b>. It <i>has</i> to be knit fabric or else the dress won't be able to stretch to fit onto the Barbie. Also, the beauty of using knit fabric is that you don't have to sew any hems or edges because it won't fray. This is a great way to use up small fabric scraps or even re-purpose an old pair of leggings or t-shirt.<br />
<br />
Fold the fabric in half, right sides together, so that your fabric is now approximately 7 inches long. Starting at the bottom sew up toward the folded edge using a quarter inch seam allowance. When you get about a half inch from reaching the fold stop and back stitch. Repeat on the other side. Once done cut a semicircle along the center of the folded edge as shown below. The semicircle should be about 3/4 inch wide.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JPa5FXgumAI/XB1DJNeSkdI/AAAAAAAAEzs/Jc54Ue8CsksiDT-4oIKMNBoZBaq9wCpiACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7816-001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1065" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JPa5FXgumAI/XB1DJNeSkdI/AAAAAAAAEzs/Jc54Ue8CsksiDT-4oIKMNBoZBaq9wCpiACLcBGAs/s640/IMG_7816-001.JPG" width="424" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
Super simple, right? At this point you're just about done. Now turn the dress right side out . . .<br />
<br />

One of my favorite things about this pattern is that it still has sleeves without having to actually sew any. So simple, but still so classy.</div>

So go ahead and raid your fabric bin for knit fabric. I know you're dying to whip up some new Barbie clothes now. Even better, have your daughter do it. This makes a great begging sewing project for kids. My twelve year old was excited to sew her little sister some of these easy dresses as a homemade Christmas gift, and she loved them! (See my other ideas for gifts kids can make <a href="http://www.serving-pink-lemonade.com/2014/01/gift-guide-to-gifts-children-can-make.html">HERE</a>.)</div>

The Church's 2019 mutual theme is "If ye love me, keep my commandments". You can read more about it <a href="https://www.lds.org/church/news/church-announces-2019-mutual-theme-for-youth?lang=eng">HERE</a>. I love this theme because when we love the Lord we <i>want </i>to keep his commandments. I wanted to created some art to reflect this years theme. I thought the floral heart fit right in with the theme and added a touch of beauty at the same time.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My 10 year old is working to earn his Arrow of Light for Cub Scouts. One of the requirements is to memorize the Outdoor Code and the Principles of Leave No Trace. To help him with the Principles of Leave No Trace I searched Pinterest for some sort of visual helps but wasn't able to find anything. I decided to make my own visuals and wanted to post them here in case they could be of help to anyone else. I have two versions available; one with picture cues and words and the other with just the picture cues. To print: 1. click on image 2. right click and copy 3. paste into a Word document and print.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also found some little jingles to help you learn the Outdoor Code and Leave No Trace Principles over at <a href="http://scoutsongs.blogspot.com/2016/04/how-to-learn-and-teach-outdoor-code-and.html">scoutsongs.blogspot.com</a>. Between these visual clues and the songs I think we'll learn these principles fast.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love to make snowflakes with my kids during December and keep them up through January. One really fun way is to cut your names out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It leaves a really unique design. My oldest son is named William . . . can you see his name?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's how you do it. First, fold your paper like you would for any snowflake. (Here's a <a href="https://www.craftiments.com/2014/01/how-to-make-paper-snowflakes.html">refresher</a>).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, you trace out your letters with the bottom of your letters along the folded side of your snowflake.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cut your letters out making sure to leave space between each letter.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you want, you can add some embellishments around the outside of the snowflake.</div>

This magnetic bookmark gift set makes the sweetest little gift for anyone. It's perfect for parents, grandparents, siblings, and teachers. They're extremely budget friendly and easy to put together.<br />
<br />
This year I helped my four year old make some of these bookmarks to give to her older sister and brothers for Christmas. I've probably said it 100 times, but I'll say it again. When children have opportunities to give they learn to love giving. Christmastime is the perfect time to give kids this opportunity. I especially love the value creating a homemade give adds to the experience. I've seen how the time, thought, and effort my children put into their gifts makes them especially excited about giving them. They become so focused on the gifts they're creating that they don't have much time to think about all the things they want. Be sure to check out more ideas on gifts that kids can make and give <a href="http://www.serving-pink-lemonade.com/2014/01/gift-guide-to-gifts-children-can-make.html">HERE</a>.</div>

This is the perfect project to use up small scraps of scrapbook paper, or digital designs can easily be printed and used. I cut out strips of paper that were five inches long and 3/4 inch wide. The corners were then rounded, which was the perfect task for my four year old to help with.<br />
<br /></div>

<br />
<br />
We then folded the bookmarks in half and applied magnetic tape to the inside. I LOVE <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Magnet-Tape-Adhesive-Brown-DO-735001/dp/B000NNQ1CK/ref=sr_1_14?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1543701845&sr=1-14&keywords=magnetic+tape">this</a> ultra thin magnetic tape. I always have some on hand. It comes in handy for so many things and works perfectly for these bookmarks so they don't end up too bulky. You can see the bottom portion of the magnetic tape is slightly off center. This is so the magnets will line up evenly when closed. Experiment with the magnets you use so that they will be sure to close correctly.<br />

To gift the bookmarks we packaged them together on a card with a quote at the bottom.<br />

For my daughter we stuck with a Paris/music theme. For the boys we did Harry Potter and Star Wars.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
I love the subtle Harry Potter hint these digital papers give. I probably could have easily come up with some wise words from Dumbledore or a found a great quote from JK Rowling to add to the bottom of the packaging but instead picked a quote that I thought my kids would love the most. Even though the quote doesn't really fit with the theme I knew my 10 year old would get a kick out of this one. Sticking with the Harry Potter theme though I used a free font called <a href="https://www.dafont.com/harry-p.font">Harry P</a> found on <a href="https://www.dafont.com/harry-p.font">dafont.com</a>.</div>

This last one is for my Star Wars obsessed seven year old. Again, the quote isn't Star Wars related but he'll love it. I used the font called <a href="https://www.dafont.com/search.php?q=star+jedi">Star Jedi</a> found on <a href="https://www.dafont.com/search.php?q=star+jedi">dafont.com</a>.</div>

My four year old especially loved clipping each bookmark onto the cards. She helped me wrap them up, complete with lots of pretty Christmas bows and put them under the tree. Her book obsessed siblings are going to love these bookmarks. I have a feeling they'll get a lot of use.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our youngest sister lives up in Alaska with her little family. Their winters are long and cold so for Christmas I sent them a "Baby, It's Cold Outside!" package to help them survive the winter. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I included things like a movie (so they could cuddle up together at home) and some hot chocolate (to warm them up). My favorite addition to the package was a snowman kit!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I scoured our local thrift shop and found this fun, colorful crocheted scarf. Another option would be to make a simple scarf out of fleece. I found a carrot nose at Hobby Lobby in the floral section. The hat was constructed of stiff felt, a ribbon, and hot glue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my snowman's buttons I found some brightly colored ones (to go along with the scarf) and glued golf tees to the back. This allows them to be pushed in to the snow and (hopefully) stay put!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did the same thing to some small stones (for his smile) and larger stones (for his eyes). You could also attach a tee to the bottom of your top hat so that it will stay put!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Months ago I found the <a href="https://www.thecraftpatchblog.com/diy-suitcase-miniature-dollhouse/">cutest idea</a> floating around Facebook for a dollhouse that you could carry around. I just knew that my daughter would love something like that and planned on having it ready by the time of her birthday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started off by heading to the local thrift store to find a very small briefcase that I could use for the dollhouse. Just when I was about to give up this little thing appeared before me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

With the original post as inspiration I began to design my dollhouse. It was fun to go through my stashes of felt and scrapbooking materials to see what I could create.</div>

I decided to modge podge everything (except the felt blankets) because I know how little kids are and didn't want the papers to get dirty or torn. I also opted not to have a hanger for a change of clothes. There were two reasons for this--the first is that I made lots of little outfits (not just one) and the second was that the clothes would inevitably fall off once the dollhouse was closed. Instead I painted a small box to hold all the doll clothes.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you're looking for a clean eatin', gluten free, egg free, dairy free, vegan muffin you've come to the right place. These muffins have conquered the impossible. They are so moist and flavorful despite being gluten and egg free.<br />
<br />
This is pretty much the only muffin I make these days. This recipe is a great way to use up all my ripe bananas, they're a hit with all my kids, and they're very versatile. To keep things from getting too boring I rotate between adding chopped up apple, mini wild blueberries, and mini chocolate chips to the batter. Even though I use the same base recipe each time my kids feel like they're always getting something new. I do have to note that I am quite opposed to chocolate chips in muffins. The flavor is just wrong to me <i>and</i> I don't think chocolate chips belong in breakfast food. So why I add them to these muffins on occasion is beside me. I guess I love to see the joy on my kids faces when they see chocolate chips in their muffins. I don't know. My favorite way to eat them is without any mix-ins but with pecan pieces sprinkled on top. I'm smart enough to know to only make a few of those per batch though since they aren't very popular with anyone else.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This recipe is quite large, yielding two dozen muffins, so feel free to half it if a smaller batch works better for your family. I like doing a large batch so I can use a whole can of pumpkin without any leftover and I like having some muffins to freeze for a later day.</div>

My kids went back to school this week. I feel like we start so much later than most of the country since we don't go back until after Labor Day. We had such a great summer that it was hard to send them off. My goal is always to give my kids somewhat of a good ol' fashioned summer. I want summertime to be a chance to slow down and explore life. To keep their eyes away from screens and give them a chance to get plenty of fresh air, go on bike rides, catch fireflies, carve soap, chew gum and learn to blow bubbles, swim, play at the park, read a lot of books, do arts and crafts, and hopefully have enough free time that they actually have a chance to be bored once or twice.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">One thing my kids had fun with over the summer was creating things out of perler beads. My kids love these things! My nine year old got really creative and figured out how to make a 3D Pikachu. He then went on to make some other Pokemon characters and then my other kids started making them too and before you know it we had a house full of Pokemon!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">My son thought other kids might like to learn how to make a 3D Pikachu too so he suggested we could put the instructions up on my blog. So here it is:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Follow the pattern below to create the pieces to build your Pikachu. As you can see the feet on the green plate need to be on a plate that has pegs at an angle.</span></span></div>

Here are all the pieces ironed and ready to start building. The key to making your Pikachu come together easily is to iron the pieces just enough to have them melt together. If you use too much heat and pressure so that the pieces get too flat it will be hard for the pieces to fit together easily.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Over the summer we rearranged rooms at our house. Since that time I've been wanting to hang some pictures up on the big empty wall above my daughter's bed. I had a few pieces I knew I wanted but I needed more to fill out the space. I searched so many stores for something that caught my eye. I wanted some sort of flower that popped off the wall. I just couldn't find anything I loved. I moved on to scouring Pinterest and decided that I could make some flowers. I love the huge paper flowers but knowing that they would be within reach of my kids I decided against that idea. Instead, I settled on felt flowers. </div>

I found some great tutorials <a href="https://mellysews.com/2017/03/how-to-make-felt-flowers.html">here</a>. All were fairly simple and only required felt and hot glue! When I was done making my flowers I spray painted a piece of cardboard to stick in my empty frame. After deciding on an arrangement for my flowers I hot-glued them to my cardboard.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Nothing feels better when you're chilled to the bone on a cold winter day than to drink a nice hot cup of cocoa. It's amazing how a hot drink can warm you up and make you feel so much better. There are a lot of things I like about this recipe but what I love the most is that it isn't full of sugar. When my kids come in from playing in the snow I hate to hand them mugs of hot chocolate filled with sugar day after day. That's definitely not what their little bodies need to keep them healthy over the long winter. This recipe is sweetened with a little bit of honey so you can fill good about letting your kids drink it all season long.<br />
<br />
I also love how rich and creamy this cocoa is and that it keeps me feeling full for hours thanks to a spoonful of grass-fed butter and coconut oil I throw in there. (And in case you've heard the rumors that coconut oil isn't healthy you just *might* have been hoodwinked. I love what <a href="https://www.thedrswolfson.com/coconut-oil-deadly/">this cardiologist</a> says about coconut oil and what <a href="https://robynobrien.com/widespread-panic-coconuts-follow-money/">this researcher</a> shares about who funded the studies that the American Heart Association based their claims on. Hmmm...)<br />
<br />
This recipe is also incredibly flexible. Allergic to eggs? Leave it out. Not a huge fan of dark chocolate? Add less cocoa powder. Don't have any coconut oil on hand? Just double the butter. Do what works for you. Chances are you won't go wrong.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since my daughter's birth nearly 3 years ago I've needed to update my <a href="https://www.lds.org/topics/family-home-evening?lang=eng&old=true">Family Home Evening</a> board. My boys have been nagging me to do it for years. Now that she is old enough to participate and <i>wants </i>to be included I figured I should finally get it done. After pondering about it for a long time I finally figured out what I wanted to do. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQEmIOWhGxBOVPaRa_ECKyuqwfd_cSI1hBVvyLepcXkMmNOkv9GW_9tpmbyVZuWRVceMGd1FA0qmjEgfCoTIx4rBTfOeNmpPMKEfYccgzaSEWVlPg6DC9tSX2PRQUphldPnv6MtvosVC1i/s1600/IMG_8953.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="886" data-original-width="1600" height="354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQEmIOWhGxBOVPaRa_ECKyuqwfd_cSI1hBVvyLepcXkMmNOkv9GW_9tpmbyVZuWRVceMGd1FA0qmjEgfCoTIx4rBTfOeNmpPMKEfYccgzaSEWVlPg6DC9tSX2PRQUphldPnv6MtvosVC1i/s640/IMG_8953.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

I scoured the stores for a magnet board just the right size for my space. Target, Hobby Lobby, Michael's, Walmart . . . you name it, I looked there. Finally, I found <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HDYJRYU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1">what I needed</a> on Amazon. I checked and double-checked in the description and the questions to make sure the board was the right size. (I <i>really</i> hate returning stuff!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then designed the board with my Silhouette software. The fonts I used were Magnolia Sky (one of my favorites right now!) and Penelope Anne.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After applying the vinyl to my board (the small lettering was <i>so hard </i>. . . so if you're planning to using that font don't say I didn't warn you!) I printed up some recent pictures of our family all in black and white. I mounted and laminated them and after cutting them out I applied some magnetic tape to the back. I bought my magnetic tape at Hobby Lobby but you can find it on Amazon as well.</div>

<br />
<br />
A few years ago I shared the <a href="http://www.serving-pink-lemonade.com/2014/05/3-silhouette-art.html">silhouette pictures</a> I hung up in my <a href="http://www.serving-pink-lemonade.com/2014/05/3-silhouette-art.html">daughters nursery</a>. Now with a baby boy on the way I decided to keep things simple with the nursery and switch out all the pink for blue. The nursery was already pretty neutral so my decor change just required a new crib sheet, curtains, and silhouette art.<br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KOJLWrEXge8/WbrXYVPHzZI/AAAAAAAAEGI/7SsM73jFFI4xZpBy7HNfZvEjztBxcUHCgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_2642.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KOJLWrEXge8/WbrXYVPHzZI/AAAAAAAAEGI/7SsM73jFFI4xZpBy7HNfZvEjztBxcUHCgCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_2642.JPG" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
I love these frames. I originally bought them from the dollar store and I have really gotten my money's worth out of them.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
For the art I did some google searching on the internet to find silhouette images I liked and then printed them off onto card stock. Easy-peasy!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I also found the perfect spot to hang this "Day in the Life of a Little Boy" picture by Norman Rockwell that my sister gifted to me years ago. I was glad to have an excuse to hang it up again because I think it's so cute.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently, one of the ladies I visit at church had her son leave for a 2 year mission. I can't imagine how hard it must be to have your child leave for that long so I gathered together a little care package for her. I scoured pinterest for some ideas and this is what I came up with.</div>

I can't believe my two year old is about to have a birthday! She's going to be three! That's definitely not baby territory anymore. It's amazing how time flies. I was going through some old pictures from her first birthday and realized I never posted my recipe for these dreamy orange creamsicle cupcakes. They were a hit with everyone, especially the birthday girl!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Don't let the long list of instructions scare you off. These cupcakes are very easy to throw together and the results were very much worth the effort.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like to hang things on the walls of my home that have significance and so I have been looking for years for a cute version of <a href="https://www.lds.org/bc/content/shared/content/images/magazines/friend/2012/04/fr12apr06-my-gospel-standards-poster.pdf" target="_blank">My Gospel Standards</a>. I love the standards that are laid out and wanted a daily reminder hanging up so my children could see it, but I also wanted something that matched my style. I searched all over Etsy and Pinterest but could never find something that I loved. And so I took matters into my own hands and created something for myself.</div>
