My sons LOVE Legos, especially my 11 year old. C signed Little E up for Lego's free magazine, Lego Club Jr. Now he is excited to help him create the building challenges. This time the challenge was to build something cops could capture robbers in the forest with. Their creation was a Bear Police Car. Here are the photos we entered.

I am a big fan of EcoSTORE USA's line of mineral and plant based toxin free products. They offer everything from household cleaners, pet care to baby wash! Recently they announced they are permanently reducing their prices by 25 to 50% off (starting February 1st). This is great news for me as I am always waiting for a sale.

I love to craft, especially if that craft turns into a gift for someone that I love. That is why Valentine ’s Day is so much fun for me! This year I am going to focus on gifts that literally tell the person what they mean to me and why they are so loved. A few years ago I purchased a large poster board and a handful of candy bars. Together it made the perfect card to tell my husband just how I

It's Groundhog Day everyone, this means finding out how much winter weather we must endure. According to the famous groundhog Punxsutawney Phil it's looks like we are in for at least 6 more weeks! From the looks of my front window, I think Phil is right! That's right folks, Phil saw his shadow. Had he not seen his shadow we could have had an early spring! Darn rodent! If your looking for

I have dreams of becoming a super-organized housewife. I picture myself waking up early, before the kids, and having my bible time with a cup of chai. I would cook my family a hot breakfast, and send the kids off to school cheerfully with confidence in knowing their backpacks were filled with all the necessary materials for their day (even a special home-baked treat in their lunchbox). I would

TOYS!!Most every house has them and in this day and age most have too many. So what is a mom (especially a mom of many) to do with all the toys? Here are just some of the ways we "tame" the toy monster.At my house we use lots and lots of tubs. We have tubs in all shapes, sizes and styles. I have taught my children that each "set" of play things has their own tub. And at clean up time even my

This is one of our favorite breakfast meals. It is incredibly easy, packed with protein and it tastes delicious. As much as we love it though, I find it is a rare meal in our home. It tends to fall off the rotation and when it's made it is a real treat. One of the things I enjoy about this meal is it is nearly fool proof. If you have children who are wanting to start participating in the kitchen,

I have been meaning to share these since I had my ultrasound almost 3 weeks ago. What can I say, it has been busy around here!Our new little sonBaby "N"I made a little movie from clips of the ultrasound. During the first part you can see he is sucking his thumb. So cute!

I recently had the privilege of receiving a Contours Optima Tandem Stroller from Kolcraft for review. As you know, we here at Happily Domestic are huge fans of Kolcraft products because of their high quality and long term durability. I was unsure what it would be like to use a tandem stroller as you often hear how bulky and complicated they can be. Well, once again, Kolcraft did not disappoint!

As I'm sure you know, leftovers can sometimes be a drag. I usually try to make enough of something that we can eat it for lunch the next day, maybe even for a couple days. I have found though that this normally becomes, shall we say... Boring. Uninspiring. So recently I have been trying to cook one dinner and make it last for 3. The challenge? Make it into 3 completely different dinners. These

As we begin a new year one of the many "New Year's Resolutions" that many people set their mind on is getting organized.

Another tradition in our house is to give our children a new pair of pajamas on Christmas Eve. After opening their new jammies, they put them on and we load the family up in the van with cups of hot chocolate and drive around town looking at lights. So Fun! Every year my kids look forward to this so much.This year I decided to sew my children's pajamas. I remember my mom sewing us kids pj's

I just love this time of year! There is always so many fun things to do. A couple weekends ago a friend and I took our kiddos to a paint your own pottery studio. We let each child pick a Christmas ornament to paint. These are so nice because the studio then glazes and fires the ornaments. The end result is a pretty, shiny ornament for the Christmas tree.Little E picked a Santa face ornament

Have you ever been to a holiday gathering and everyone sat around trying to think of something to say to break the silence? Something that would lighten the mood and get the conversation started had everyone racking their brains. Well, I have an idea for you that is so much more fun!! It might be hard to get everyone involved as it is not the "norm" any more. But once they start they will be glad

Last summer two of my good friends and I started a Bright Lights group for our daughters. If you have never heard of Bright Lights, it is a discipleship group for girls headed toward their teen years. The purpose of the group is to teach these girls to live their lives fully for Christ, to be strong in the Lord in their youth. Our group meets twice monthly. At our meetings we have lessons on

During this season of thanksgiving we often find ourselves purposely focusing on what we are thankful for and also on helping our children learn how to be grateful. By nature we humans tend to take our blessings for granted. The things that we see, use, and have everyday become just that, everyday. These are the things that we don't even notice anymore. It will take more than a month out of the

We've all had that wonderful thanksgiving classic Green Bean Casserole. It's yummy, comforting and easy. Unfortunately, one of the main ingrediants comes from a can, laden with chemical preservatives. One way that I am trying to make our diet healthier is making as much as I can from scratch. This eliminates those pesky preservatives as well as offers delicious flavor. I know exactly what is in

We all know that when it comes to Thanksgiving dinner the turkey is the star. No pressure, everyone only expects it to be beautiful, flavorful and juicy! So how do you go about doing this? Well, I'm no turkey expert but in my opinion it's all in the brining. This is a fool proof way to gaurantee plenty of flavor and only takes a few extra minutes.

It goes without saying that sometimes mornings can be a little chaotic. Whether you homeschool or send your kids off to school, they still have to eat! Not only do they have to eat but your husband has to eat and if your lucky you'll get some breakfast too.

I was recently given the opportunity to use a Scripture verse vinyl wall decoration from Wall Praise. This company has been great to work with. They have been easy to communicate with and have always kept me up to date on what was going on with my product. Their shipping was fast and efficient, and from the moment that I pulled the product from the box. I fell in LOVE!.I choose Ephesians 3:20 for

Fagor America is a worldwide company that is famous for their high quality pressure cookers, but did you know they also sell quality kitchen appliances and cookware? Considering I only had 1 pot and 1 cast iron skillet in my kitchen, I was quite excited to be reviewing their top notch 7 piece Cast Aluminum Cookware Set. This comes with a 9.5" Skillet with Stainless Steel handle, 11" Shallow

A couple months ago I opened one of my monthly homeschool support group newsletters and found a request for mothers and daughters to attend a mother/daughter group here locally. Each month the moms and daughters would get together to work on homemaking skills such a embroidery, jewelry making, etc. It sounded great! I immediately thought about my daughter but also thought about a 14 year old

My dad used to work in a Pepsi plant and told me a rather disturbing story. One of the pallets containing one of the soda ingredients tipped over. This particular chemical ingredient (I'm sorry, I cannot remember the name) is dangerous if not mixed with other ingredients. When it fell onto the concrete, it proceded to eat through the floor! I have not been a huge fan of soda products since then.

Well, it's that time of year again! There's lots of beautiful turning leaves, cool, crisp weather and warm pots of soup. I absolutely love it, what an amazing creator we have! Unfortunately, along with all the beauty and cool weather comes... the flu. Along with hearing about how nice this cool weather is, I am constantly being asked if I will be getting the flu vaccine.

Last week we took a little trip to Denver to visit Thomas the train (more about that later) and we also stopped by the American Girl store. If you have ever met my daughter, you know how much she loves American Girl dolls! She has been dying to go to the store in Denver ever since we found out about it last year. I can't even describe the excitement coming from her as we drove up and she saw

A couple days ago a friend of mine emailed and said she found a Serger on the Sears outlet page for only $33. Better yet, it was located in my town!!!! First off, this was a TOTAL God thing because my friend was online looking at highchairs and secondly, she said she never goes to Sears website. Not only this, my birthday is in a couple weeks and guess what I told my husband I wanted for it???

One of the most important things to me as a momma is to instill within my children a love for service. A love of helping those in need and never thinking you are too small or don’t have the resources to help.In our home everyone works together to help the house run as smoothly as possible. My children are in the kitchen helping by the time they are two years old. By the time they are six or seven

There are probably enough loose crayons around our houses that we could fill a shoe box and not need crayons until we have grandchildren! Come on....admit it!

I once heard a saying that went "You don't have any friends if you have to buy zucchini in the summer." This is so true in our town! It seems like as soon as you thought you've found every recipe you can make to use zucchini and given away so much your friends are turning you away, your little zucchini plant produces a few more. So what do you do with all that zucchini? Besides using it fresh

Needless to say, I was pretty excited when Chili's asked me to review their new 2 for $20 menu.
