They call for ingredients you probably already have in your pantry (such as white vinegar), and they help speed up the stain-removal process. So the next time an unexpected stain happens—spaghetti sauce or lipstick—you’ll be ready! Just follow these quick pre-treatments immediately, and save the thorough wash for later. Mustard Stains Wipe away any excess, then soak the stain in a small bowl of white vinegar. Combine 10 ounces of clean water and 1 tablespoon of clear dish soap....

I can’t believe Halloween is right around the corner. I’m not a huge fan of costumes (except these DIY superhero costumes I made for my boys) but do love Halloween parties, so I’m excited to share this fun Halloween backdrop that I made a few years ago and recreate almost every year because it’s so easy! It only takes a few minutes to make, leaving you plenty of time to play Halloween games like this trick or treat game instead!...

With Hocus Pocus 2 coming out in a few weeks, I thought it would be fun to share some Hocus Pocus themed recipes like these spell book brownies! I’ll be sharing some more ideas soon but figured these Hocus Pocus spell book brownies was a good enough place to start as any! I still can’t believe they’re making a new Hocus Pocus movie honestly – it’s like they’re bringing back all of the classics....

I remember when I was growing up my mom would always make us “blueberry muffins” aka Jif blueberry muffins with fake blueberry bites in them. I’d cut them in half, lather them with butter, and enjoy them every time she made them. I didn’t realize that those aren’t really blueberry muffins. I actually don’t know what they are, but not blueberry muffins. This lemon blueberry muffin recipe is a fun take on a classic blueberry muffin recipe with just a hint of added citrus flavor to brighten up the muffin....

With pumpkin season in full swing, I thought it was about time to share these yummy no bake pumpkin cheesecake balls that we’ve been enjoying with all fall long! They’re a great way to use leftover canned pumpkin since the recipe only uses a 1/3 of a cup of pumpkin puree. Make them along with these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, these spice cake mix pumpkin cupcakes, and this pumpkin pie dip for a dessert tray loaded with pumpkin treats!...

With Shark Week on Discovery Channel just around the corner, this week I’m sharing all sorts of fun shark and beach themed content. I shared a shark attack drink yesterday (a copycat of one of my favorite Universal Studios drinks), this beach themed cake (with sharks of course) last week, and these ocean blue popsicles earlier, that all make fun festive snacks for Shark Week! And make sure to come back tomorrow for a fun beach themed activity for the kids!...

Now that you’ve picked the perfect pear, here are five important health benefits you’ll reap from eating it, according to Amy R. Kweller, MS, RD. Many varieties of U.S. pears (bartlett, comice, concorde, forelle, and seckel) have peak season taste right now, so don’t waste any time. Additionally, an in-vitro study showed that as pears are digested, the growth of harmful bacteria slowed without affecting beneficial bacteria with probiotic potential....

The Pippa Packable Puffer Jacket by Free People’s FP Movement is getting into the habit of selling out quickly. Since landing on the site earlier this year, the lightweight coat has sold out not once, not twice, but three times, all within a week of being restocked. Not to mention, complete sell-outs were happening before fall had even begun, a testament to shoppers’ enthusiasm for the outerwear. The puffer has 169 reviews and counting on the site, in which 98 percent of reviewers stated they would recommend it to a friend....

I can’t believe the summer months are almost behind us! With just a few weeks left before school starts up again, I’ve been trying to squeeze in as many fun summer activities and items on our summer bucket list as possible! This week we played some water games and did this summer scavenger hunt. Next week it’s a camp themed week with this camping scavenger hunt and these camping games!...

The reason I love this winter scavenger hunt so much is that it’s something that all ages can enjoy from preschool all the way up to adults (make it a virtual scavenger hunt!...

My boys are always looking for new games to play. We regularly play these board games for kids but sometimes they want something a little more seasonal or unique to play just once or twice. And when you’re just playing with a few people, it doesn’t make sense to break out an entire Christmas bingo game or even these Christmas minute to win it games. Last year I made this fun go caroling Christmas match game just as a quick game for us to play as one of our daily Christmas activities....
