<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">US Family Guide has offered me a copy of Debbie Lillard's "A Mom's Guide to Home Organization," and I'm excited to see if this simple process will really work. This book walks you through tips for organizing your time, your stuff and your space. The second half of the book addresses how to teach your children the life skill of being organized. Can you imagine how much easier life would be if the kids knew how to keep the house clean as well? This book is written by a busy mom for busy moms.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Check back soon to see how it helps get my home's clutter under control!</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17.94px; white-space: pre-wrap;">A few months back I shared with you a discount code for the <a href="http://freemples.blogspot.com/2016/04/super-league-gaming-discount.html" target="_blank">Minecraft Super League</a> coming to movie theaters all across the country. Today I'm back to share a first-hand review. Skipping all the way to the big picture, yes, we will definitely participate the next time it comes around! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; line-height: 17.94px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; line-height: 17.94px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Due to an unexpected scheduling conflict, I enlisted the help of my friend Wendi, and her son, Geoffrey, to attend the 4 week event. It might not surprise you that they volunteered un-hesitatingly...Here is their report:</span></span><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17.94px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><i>The first week was primarily for working out technical issues. There were about 25 kids in our theatre, arranged in stadium-style seating, as well as 3 super helpful, positive, encouraging staff members. The participants played a series of building phase rounds and then combat phases while the staff quickly diagnosed and tweeked any problems. The final combat round was intense!</i></span></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When signing up for Minecraft Super League you have the option of forming a team with other friends or joining an already existing team. We had received our information quite close to the event and so Geoffrey arrived unassociated with a team. Wendi reported it was not a problem:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: inherit;"><i>Arriving the first day we picked up our badge and t-shirt and then had the opportunity to mingle and form a team. The teams were pretty fluid so kids could try out different groups until they found one they really liked. It was fun hearing all the fun gamer tags (translation: profile/character names). Two of our favorites were CheesecakeLlama and TheUnderMiner (that one's pretty clever, get it...?) </i></span></blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbAOiW5-ErsnHaidNhVUcZmVV1leMKsxYMwIKEq3iK4sIXejwA_r_K0kX2KOfCdCV20Oaya130UGKLnT67YWrCxxbxeEYGVkg5Y2fH2Ql5HxmMSs8rgqMoO0kBfGlrDiCg3weLv-4Y0kw/s1600/13148155_522037584652052_47340450_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Play Minecraft in a theater" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbAOiW5-ErsnHaidNhVUcZmVV1leMKsxYMwIKEq3iK4sIXejwA_r_K0kX2KOfCdCV20Oaya130UGKLnT67YWrCxxbxeEYGVkg5Y2fH2Ql5HxmMSs8rgqMoO0kBfGlrDiCg3weLv-4Y0kw/s400/13148155_522037584652052_47340450_o.jpg" title="Minecraft Super League" width="233" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17.94px; white-space: pre-wrap;">When I inquired about the logistics of getting set-up the first day, Wendi had this to say:</span><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17.94px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: inherit;"><i>It lasted for about an hour & a half, but went by so fast! There were some power cords available but they strongly recommended we charge our laptops ahead of time. Also, Logitech (a corporate sponsor) provided a few mouses to borrow just in case kids forgot them at home (oops, that was us!) Next time we will come earlier to make sure we have plenty of time to get to know the other kids better.</i></span></span></blockquote>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17.94px; white-space: pre-wrap;">So that was Week 1. At the end of the month, 4 sessions later, I caught back up with Wendi and Geoffrey to see what they thought after it was all over. They said:</span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17.94px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: inherit;"><i>The three staff members were very nice and responsive to questions or concerns throughout each session. I was especially grateful that they had some extra equipment because we forgot our mouse twice!</i></span></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: inherit;"><i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17.94px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> I </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17.94px; white-space: pre-wrap;">noticed a few parents like me chose to stay through the whole time, and we were absolutely welcome to do so, but a bunch of the kids had parents who did the drop off/pick up thing, or just sent their kids as part of a school group. </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17.94px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I especially enjoyed hearing my son interacting with his fellow team members, whether it was building their superhero homebase, fighting zombies, healing each other, or creating their group image for a guess-the-word game. </span></i></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; line-height: 17.94px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: inherit;"><i>The pacing of activities during each session (such as combat, free build time, announcements, defend your wither, platform/winner's cheer, etc.) perfectly helped keep their interest the entire time. It was crazy to see how fast time flew by, even for me!</i></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; line-height: 17.94px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: inherit;"><i>Each session lasted about the time of a standard movie, but it involved sooooo much more than just sitting and being entertained. The kids experienced teamwork, communication, problem solving, creativity, seeing locations/events from different perspectives (both their own laptops and the big cinema screen), performing under stress, long term project work (working on the builds all four weeks), and feeling a part of a group all across the nation (when the screen showed team names and scores from tons of different cities). </i></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The whole experience sounded amazing! The only constructive criticism Wendi had to share with the company was a desire to have the event sponsored closer to where she lived. In Utah there were 2 options, but both fairly close to each other in Salt Lake City. It'd be great to have them spread out in outlying population centers. Your location may indeed have that, but ours unfortunately did not. </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; line-height: 17.94px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Her only advice for other parents?</span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; line-height: 17.94px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: inherit;"><i>Form a team in advance and sign everyone up together so they can more easily communicate during the week or relay information if someone is going to miss a week.</i></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">That primarily was my fault this time because we signed up quite late, but I can say that the process to form a team and join together seemed very straightforward when I was logged into the system.</span><br />

About once a week, I spend a few hours scanning through Amazon looking for products that intrigue me and I think might intrigue you as well. Today, I'm fixated on how we really kind find ANYTHING we need and have it shipped to us in just two days with <a href="http://amzn.to/295UfuJ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Amazon Prime Free Shipping</a>.<br />
<br />
What in particular has caught my attention today? This <a href="http://amzn.to/28WZ91m" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kidcraft Backyard Sandbox</a>...<br />

We have an in-ground sandbox at our house and my boys spend hours there contentedly playing together. What I love about this particular version is</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>It would conveniently fit in a smaller backyard, yet be big enough for more than one kid to play</li>
<li>It comes with a mesh cover to protect the sand from critters while the kids aren't playing</li>
</ol>

Yes, the cousins have a real in-ground pool less than a mile away, but I want the kids to be able to put on their swimwear in the morning and run around splashing whenever they want. Amazon has so many options, I don't know which one I will choose!<br />

<br />
Are you prepared for the summer? It seems like it is coming so fast this year! Playing out in the backyard yesterday with my kids I was looking around at all the places I know bugs and mosquitoes will love to hover when the warmer weather gets here. I had already started thinking about what I could do to the yard ready for them to carelessly play, and then this information from Orkin landed itself in my email...<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I can remember a time as a child when Orkin would come to the house trying to get rid of a cockroach problem we had, but as an adult I'd never thought of how they might be able to help me and my own little family. But they have actually put together some great resources on dealing with mosquitoes and other summer time pests that taught me a thing or two. I especially liked the information in this short video...</div>

The toughest part about putting something like this into motion is knowing when to do it, and how to make it all a success. This countdown takes care of that! And, of course, you can bet there is a <em>big finale</em> planned for the 14th, with lots of romantic and spicy suggestions!</div>

My favorite part is that they encourage couples to think outward, too. Showing kindness to others in your sphere of influence is so huge in a marriage! It always helps us take our mind off our own selves and problems, and reminds us that our problems are a lot smaller than they seem. We love creating all of those memories, too! </div>

I am in love with <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=463150&u=847832&m=46239&urllink=&afftrack=">Gymboree</a>! If you've been reading with me for awhile, you know that<a href="http://wanderingstill.blogspot.com/2011/01/my-100-dream.html" target="_blank"> I love clearance shopping</a> and one of my best shopping trips ever was my <a href="http://wanderingstill.blogspot.com/2011/04/dreams-come-true.html" target="_blank">marathon DI shopping trip</a>. I very rarely shop at any of the stores at the mall, and especially not for kid clothes. But a while back I found myself there with no tiny hands tugging on my arms and ventured into shopping heaven! It couldn't have been better timing.<br />
<br />
I was shopping at closing time when I wandered into <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=463150&u=847832&m=46239&urllink=&afftrack=">Gymboree</a> and found one pair of pants my small budget could afford. Then I found out there was a "Circle of Friends" customer appreciation sale going on that included giving 30% off of every purchase. I really mean EVERY purchase. There were no buying limits or "with our store credit card." Every single person shopping received the friends and family discount. What store have you been in recently doing that? In addition, anyone with a rewards card (which was free) was getting an additional 5% off. My one pair of pants ended up costing under $5.00.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=771215&u=847832&m=46239&urllink=&afftrack=" target="_blank"><img alt="Gymboree Kids Clothing Newborn to Size 12" border="0" src="http://static.shareasale.com/image/46239/gym_Fall2_1024x768.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
I could not stop thinking about either the store or that incredible sale! I had to go back. Knowing that I only shop the clearance racks when I do go to the mall, I was positive I would walk out with an incredible deal. And knowing that I now have four boys to clothe, I definitely justified spending the money. My sweet husband let me take an hour out of his Saturday to go and see what I could find.<br />
<br />
It was absolutely the best shopping day! My arms were piled neck high-that never happens to me! I watched the discounts falling off and couldn't contain the grin spreading across my face. My husband and I took bets to see how much we would save and I'm happy to say I was closer, but still came nowhere close to the total savings printed on the bottom of my receipt.<br />
<br />
Now remember, I only shopped the clearance racks and I did save a good amount of money off of the clearance prices. But this time it seems entirely appropriate to consider the savings I made off of the original pricing. When all was said and done, shopping at Gymboree on their 30% off purchase sale, <b>I saved $439.55!!!!!!! </b>It's not used clothing, it's not cheap quality threadbare clothing. It is adorable outfits that last long enough for kids to grow out of them.<br />
<br />
I still haven't stopped talking about it! The thrill of finding such an incredible deal unexpectedly has my adrenaline pumping. <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=463150&u=847832&m=46239&urllink=&afftrack=">Gymboree</a> will never know it, but this one sale made me their newest loyal customer.<br />

Unfortunately for all of us, the popcorn popper has been dropped upside down one too many times and has been limping along for quite awhile. It's time to buy a new one and since popcorn and a movie always make great gifts, I thought I'd share some of our favorites and invite you to join us with your own kernel traditions!<br />

What can be wrong with me? No, no, I am not living in an underground hole isolated from pop culture. I am well aware the Star Wars franchise is very well and growing.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>

With the release of the latest movie installment coming right before Christmas this year, Star Wars gifts are going to be hiding under decorated trees worldwide (every tree except mine, I'm sure). So, I've pulled together a gift guide to help you find a fun gift perfect for the Star Wars lover in your life...<br />

My house is full of boys. Energetic, ninja-loving boys. We just found out a neighbor down the street is a professional parkour stuntman and after watching his Youtube videos, my boys have been outside constantly jumping over things, trying to do flips, and attempting to be just like him. They think he's a real-life ninja.<br />
<br />
You can imagine, then, how a book about ninjas would go over really, really well. <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1993965388/the-legend-of-the-tooth-ninja" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Legend of The Tooth Ninja</a> is a sweet tale about a village captured by a dragon. Only one little ninja boy escapes the dragon and then feels responsible for setting the rest of the village free.<br />
<br />

<br />
On his quest to help he meets a fairy who has also been captured. After setting her free, she gives him an important gift of a tooth which he carves into a sword to frighten the dragon and free the villagers. From that time onward he is instructed to always have the villagers leave their lost teeth under their pillows for him to collect and use to protect them if he ever needs to fight again. <br />

<br />
This story is creative and poetically written. It's enjoyable to read (be honest, as parents, there are a lot of books we read once and hide away forever-this will not be one of them). And as my boys are in tooth-losing age, I've been listening to them scheme all afternoon how they can speed along the process and have something to leave for their new nighttime hero.<br />

Our family recently had the chance to spend an afternoon bowling at Fat Cats in Provo. Bowling is such a fun family activity and we went over lunch time, giving us the bowling alley almost entirely to ourselves. <br />
<br />
It was hilarious to see this kid's bowling poses...<br />

Having the staff at Fat Cats make the food, and clean up after, would be such an easy way to celebrate a birthday! Sign up for their Birthday Club and you can get free bowling on your birthday. <br />
<br />
Something that Fat Cats does that I've not ever seen before at a bowling alley is to color code the balls by weight. I hate how you usually have to walk up and down the alley trying to find a ball that will work for you and then just settling when you get frustrated. This makes it so easy, and easy to put them away at the end as well. A head's up that the lightweight balls for kids are back behind the counter. <br />

Children's museums are the greatest places. I'm pretty sure no such thing existed when I was a child, but I'm so glad they do now. My kids can spend hours inside of one and not have a clue that they're actually doing science or math or learning about journalism or agriculture. In Salt Lake City, the children's museum is called Discovery Gateway...<br />

We have visited Discovery Gateway several times as a family and every time the kids love it. Honestly, they spend so much time concentrating on activities as soon as we're inside that we've never even made it out to see the news helicopter...I don't think they even know it's there. </div>

We never leave the driveway before he's buckled, or he lets us know! Today I'm teaming up <a href="http://safercar.gov/">Safercar.gov</a> to share an important message about buckling up,..<br />

We have a yonger song that gets distracted very quickly and could probably sit with us all waiting on him in the driveway for half an hour before he remembers, "Oh, we're going somewhere. I need my seatbelt." </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In the state of Utah, children are required to be in a booster seat until they are 8. My oldest informed me the other day that even though he's turning 8 he wants to stay in his booster because he can see out the window better, and that is perfectly okay with me! </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
While this infographic does not yet apply to me, I know it will apply to many of you and is important to share...we as parents can sometimes put our foot down on some really simple issues. We need to make sure we're not letting it come back on the really important ones...</div>

<i><span style="color: #990000; font-size: x-small;">This is a review post for which I have received compensation.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i><span style="color: #990000; font-size: x-small;">Thoughts and opinions are 100% mine. </span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I am not much of a movie watcher. I just don't find myself having a lot of time to sit down for 90 minutes with nothing else to do. But I was recently asked to take part in a preview of the new movie, Confessions of a Prodigal Son, and found myself grateful for the time I spent watching it and reflecting. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: x-small; font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Touted as a "modern twist" on the classic Bible story about the prodigal son, who leaves home with all his inherited riches and then returns having lost it all, you can assume that it's going to be a religious movie and probably the caliber of most religious movies. There is no denying it, a religious string runs throughout the entire movie. But, the story the movie tells is so much more than just a sermon in movie form. The trailer will give you a great idea of what I'm trying to explain...</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you're my age or younger, you'll understand this reference-the story is relevant to the social pressures and choices college kids are making in 2015 and reminded me a lot of the writing style from Degrassi Jr. High. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
However, please don't write off watching the movie just because the characters are in college. The story of the prodigal son is about making choices and living with those choices, and learning to work with other people's choices. The theme affects every single one of us and the message in "Confessions of a Prodigal Son" will strike a chord in any person who has ever had to make and live with tough decisions. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Confessions of a Prodigal Son" is in select theatres starting today, March 24. <a href="http://www.confessionsofaprodigalson.com/theaters/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Find out where you can see it near you.</a> Or <a href="http://www.confessionsofaprodigalson.com/buy/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">buy a copy of the DVD </a>to watch at home with your family. </div>

Grab your bucket list. Right now, go and grab it. Now, somewhere close to the top-let's say in the #1 spot-add "<b>Explore an <a href="http://www.icecastles.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ice castle</a></b>." There, you've added it. Next step-do it...as soon as possible! There's still time this winter even, if you hurry.</div>

With four life-size <a href="http://www.icecastles.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ice castles</a> to choose from across the United States, I know you'll be able to find one in a destination you've always wanted to go. Here in <a href="http://icecastles.com/midway/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Utah</a> this year we are having a beautifully warm winter. Unfortunately, spring temperatures in February aren't ideal for keeping an ice castle frozen. Ours this year was only open for 2 short weekends. I guarantee this isn't the case for anyone back east though. The ice castles in <a href="http://icecastles.com/ep/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Minnesota</a>, <a href="http://icecastles.com/lincoln/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">New Hampshire</a>, and <a href="http://icecastles.com/stratton/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Vermont</a> are still open, still taking visitors, and still enchanting. </div>

To tell you what to expect when you make your <a href="http://www.icecastles.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ice castle</a> pilgrimage, I want you to close your eyes and picture yourself in the middle of a magical icy fairy tale. Designed to feel like you're in an old European village square, there are ice, water, and fire features around corners in every direction. To the right, slides and tunnels to climb up, crawl through, and amble down. To the left the romance of a double spouting water fountain. Straight ahead slot canyons and narrow passageways to explore and get lost in. It's a child's paradise, for young and old alike.</div>

As a parent taking my four young boys to this winter wonderland, safety was a big concern. Ice, obviously, can be very slippery. I was so impressed that throughout the ice castle, there is staff positioned to quickly and unobtrusively break up the ice as it gets packed down and starts to become slick. Even more than knowing my kids wouldn't fall on the ice, it assured me that I myself wouldn't be taking an embarrassing spill to the ground in front of half the population of the Wasatch Front. </div>

The crowds were thick the night we made our visit, but it was the opening weekend, and as I said, here in Utah the ice castle was only open for two weekends. I've read that the other 3 locations do have heavy traffic on the weekends, but I imagine as it gets later in the season, the crowds are dying down. Even with the crowds, though, we felt comfortable to spread out and let the kids roam a little way away from us without fear of losing them. We got to explore everything we wanted to with only one short line to wait in for one of the slot canyons. If I had anything negative to say, it would be a caution to any non-Frozen lovers: the soundtrack is appropriately playing at full volume for all hear to hear. </div>

I know <a href="http://freemples.blogspot.com/2015/01/tour-real-life-ice-castle.html" target="_blank">when I posted before</a>, so many of you said, "I've heard of these and want to do it some day!" I'm telling you, it's something worth doing right now! If you have one within driving distance, why not make it a weekend adventure and spend time exploring in the area. I promise you won't regret it. The <a href="http://icecastles.com/stratton/#locations" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">castles</a> in Minnesota, New Hampshire, and Vermont are scheduled to be open through March 7. If you do plan to go, make sure to check their website for updates, but with all the snow the east has been enjoying, I'm sure they will be open until that day. <br />
