This is How We Target

By sunshineandholly on March 29, 2017

We have a Target about a mile and a half from our house. I pass it pretty much every day, so you can imagine how much time I’ve spent there. Especially since we’ve had kids. When Graham was little, I got into a really bad habit of going about 3 times a week. He was such a good shopper – quiet and content to just sit in the cart. These days, I love a good Target trip alone. Strolling around Target with a Starbucks coffee is my idea of a fun evening. (#sobasic)

Anyway, I thought I’d do a little post here about why I don’t like taking Maddie to Target. You’d think I’d love taking my girly little princess to Target to shop. You know – like a mother/daughter thing.

But no.

That girl is SUPER annoying.

Disney’s Tangled Themed Family Movie Night

Disney's Tangled Family Movie Night | Themed Recipe and Craft | sunshineandholly.com

We love our PJ Family Movie Nights!

It’s an opportunity to sit back, relax, and let the tv babysit the kids.

Ha!

Seriously though, everyone in our family loves to watch movies. Even Maddie, who’s 2, will usually sit through an entire movie. Especially if there are fun themed snacks involved.

Last week, we watched Disney’s Tangled. You know we love our Disney movies! We’ve seen it before, but decided to watch it again since there’s a new series coming out on the Disney channel based on the movie. Had to refresh our memories of Eugene…er…Flynn’s smolder, golden flower spells, and the correct way to use a frying pan. (Spoiler alert – it’s not used for cooking!)

That afternoon, while Maddie napped, Graham and I attempted to do a little themed craft to go along with the movie. I’ll admit, I’m not super crafty, so I’m so glad I stumbled on this Tangled lantern craft. It looked easy enough for us to handle!

Our PJ Movie Night Family Tradition

By sunshineandholly on March 16, 2017

PJ Movie Night is my favorite night!

Yes, I know – I know – we’re supposed to limit screen time for kids.

But honestly – my kids watch way more than the “recommended 1-hour per day of high quality screen time.” Seriously?! These AAP people must have live-in nannies and maids. Because that’s what we’ll need if I’m expected to only allow my kids to have 1-hour per day of screen time. If you do follow those recommendations – props to you, mama! Anyway…

We’re a tv-loving family. My husband and I love binge-watching shows together and my favorite evenings include PJs, a comfy blanket, a bowl of Ben and Jerry’s, and snuggling up on the couch to watch some boob tube.

5 Ideas for Indoor Toddler Fun in Atlanta

By sunshineandholly on March 14, 2017

So all of a sudden it’s winter again! What the heck, man? It’s cold today!

I almost put away all of my family’s winter coats for the season. Luckily I’m a lazy mom and haven’t gotten around to it yet…

Since it’s freezing today, I thought I’d post about my top five places to take my little monsters…er…sweet angel children when it’s cold outside. Because sitting around our house all day drives this mama insane.
