Baby Shower Games

Over 50 Baby Shower Games

How many baby showers have you been to? I’ve been to plenty in my lifetime, including my own, and they’re always so much fun! Family, girlfriends, gifts, games, food and fun! Awesome memories to be made, for sure. Sometimes as the hostess of a baby shower, we can get a little overwhelmed. I know…I’ve hosted a few. Between trying to come up with the perfect food options, gifts, decorating, games and sending out invitations – it can be super crazy!

“My favorite baby shower game is the Don’t Say Baby game. It’s fun to try and not say the word baby the entire time and steal other’s pins who do say the word. You will come up with unique ways to talk about the baby, that’s for sure!”

“Baby shower games are so fun. The last shower I went to had a game that was such a hit. We were all laughing so hard we were crying! We divided into 2 teams and had a relay race. You had to put a balloon under their shirt (like a baby belly) and a ping pong ball between your knees. Then, you had to waddle across the room to drop the ping pong ball into a mason jar. It was called Tinkle in the Pot. And oh gosh….do I remember having to hurry and try to waddle to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night when I was pregnant with my son! It was seriously so fun and absolutely hilarious!“

“ I love a beautiful baby shower — it’s so special to celebrate a new life into the world. I’ve been to lots of baby showers and I’ve witnessed lots of baby shower games! There are many great ideas out there. Games are a terrific way to entertain guests and break the ice if all the guests don’t know each other. One of my favorites is the nursery rhyme printable game!“

“Oh goodness, I’ve been to plenty of baby showers! I have lots of favorite games, can’t pick just one! I love the memory game. Where they pass around a basket full of baby stuff and then you have to remember what they are and write down as many items as you can. Another oldie but a goodie is the “Measure Mommy’s Belly” game where you use toilet paper to guesstimate how big around you think mommy’s belly is. One that they played at MY baby shower that I thought was so funny was picking a few out of the crowd to see who could drink the milk from the baby bottle the fastest! So many awesome memories!!“

The Age of Adaline Movie Trailer – Such a Beautiful and Unique Love Story #Adaline #IC #Ad

April 9, 2015 by Jenni 38 Comments

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Lionsgate. I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

the age of adaline trailer

You know how some movies just hit you, right in the heart?! I sat here the other night on the couch while watching shows I had recorded on the DVR and the trailer for The Age of Adaline came on. In just seconds, I was mesmerized! I looked at my husband and said, “Ok…we’re gonna watch that!!”. 

There are so many things going on in this movie. Love and heartbreak, all with whimsical and magical elements – all while Adaline will never age another day. 

Just watch this short trailer – and I’m sure you’ll fall in love with the story line too!

Everyone will enjoy this movie. Yes, its’ a love story that even the men are going to fall all over. Even the tweens and teens will fall in love with the movie. The story line is so romantic and unique. Just imagine….

never aging

finding true love

losing that love

being afraid to ever love again

The story starts out in the early 1900’s and shows the amazing fashion trends throughout the decades in the movie. You see how the fashion changes and how she keeps up, but still has an “old fashioned” spirit about her. Adaline stays beautiful, dangling in time. Never able to settle down with the man of her dreams or anyone that she loves and always on the run.

 

the age of adaline

There are parts that are so beautiful and happy – and parts that are so sad! At one point in the trailer, you see Adaline, so young and beautiful, talking with her daughter who is older now, and dons a head full of silver gray hair. Seems like the roles should be reversed, right?! But they aren’t!

The Age of Adaline will be released nationwide on April 23rd at 7pm! Adaline Bowman is played by Blake Lively!! Harrison Ford, Michiel Huisman and Ellen Burstyn have leading roles as well. Check out the official website, Tumblr, and other social media channels below!!!

I’ll be watching the movie…probably a couple of different times. Once as a date night with the husband and then another night for a “girls night out” with my sister and besties!!

So…what do you think of the trailer? Will you be watching The Age of Adaline?!

New Disney’s TOMORROWLAND Trailer and Poster #Tomorrowland

March 13, 2015 by Jenni 46 Comments

Tomorrowland Poster

So, I’m just gonna put this out there. I am in love with Hugh Laurie. We are massive fans of the show, House. We still watch the reruns of that show so when I found out that he was also starring in TOMORROWLAND – I flipped. Needless to say, he plays the villain. Hugh Laurie just plays a great villain anyway. Sigh.

Now – get THIS. Two more of my favorite people have roles in this movie too. George Clooney and Tim McGraw. Double Swooooon! This movie is a triple threat, in my book!

Check out this awesome brand new trailer for TOMORROWLAND and then you can find out all of the deets below. In theatres May 22nd!

From Disney comes two-time Oscar® winner Brad Bird’s riveting, mystery adventure “Tomorrowland,” starring Academy Award® winner George Clooney. Bound by a shared destiny, former boy-genius Frank (Clooney), jaded by disillusionment, and Casey (Britt Robertson), a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity, embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space known only as “Tomorrowland.” What they must do there changes the world—and them—forever.

Featuring a screenplay by “Lost” writer and co-creator Damon Lindelof and Brad Bird, from a story by Lindelof & Bird & Jeff Jensen, “Tomorrowland” promises to take audiences on a thrill ride of nonstop adventures through new dimensions that have only been dreamed of.

Director Brad Bird and Producer Damon Lindelof also participated in a Facebook Q&A earlier today. Click on the link to read what they said. This was very fun to read! https://www.facebook.com/WaltDisneyStudios/photos/a.111733172201350.5539.111382562236411/883186315056028/?type=1

New Disney Pixar INSIDE OUT Movie Trailer #InsideOut

March 13, 2015 by Jenni 129 Comments

Inside Out

Disney/Pixar INSIDE OUT

Have you heard about the new Disney/Pixar movie INSIDE OUT? This looks like it’s going to be such a sweet movie. Check out the new movie trailer below and then you’ll see more information about the movie. The awesome Amy Poehler plays “Joy” – we LOVE her in our house. She’s just hilarious! It opens in theatres everywhere on June 19th!

From an adventurous balloon ride above the clouds to a monster-filled metropolis, Academy Award®-winning director Pete Docter (“Monsters, Inc.,” “Up”) has taken audiences to unique and imaginative places. In Disney•Pixar’s original movie “ Inside Out,” he will take us to the most extraordinary location of all—inside the mind.

Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it’s no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions – Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith). The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley’s mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley’s main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school.

Frozen 2

Have you heard the news?

We don’t have to “Let it Go!!!!”

Families everywhere, rejoice! Frozen 2 is officially in the works!!

I don’t know but I really think that I’m more excited than my kid is. A year later and Frozen still plays in our house, at least once a week. The songs however, are still sung on the daily around here. Here’s the news….

Winter weather ahead! Frozen 2 is officially in development at Walt Disney Animation Studios with directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee and producer Peter Del Vecho, the Oscar®-winning filmmaking team behind Frozen.

The news was announced at Disney’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders this morning by Bob Iger, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company; John Lasseter, Chief Creative Officer of Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios; and actor Josh Gad, who provides the voice of Olaf from Frozen.

“We enjoyed making Frozen Fever so much and being back in that world with those characters,” said John Lasseter. “Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck have come up with a great idea for a sequel and you will be hearing a lot more about it and we’re taking you back to Arendelle. We are so excited about that.”

A release date and production details are yet to be announced. But no fear, I’ll keep you in the loop. 🙂

Frozen. That is a word that has new meaning in my life since the Disney movie released. My house quickly filled with everything Frozen.

Look how long it’s been, and we’re still crazy over Disney’s Frozen at our house. At this very second as I type, my son is singing “Do You Wanna Build a Snowman”. Seriously. We ended up buying him the singalong version of the movie for Christmas and it repeats, and repeats and repeats. I secretly love it just as much as he does. 😉

date night ideas

Date Night Ideas

Date night getting a little boring lately? Or practically non-existant? Near Valentine’s Day I always get a little more mushier than normal when I start seeing fun and frugal date night ideas on the web. My husband and I don’t get out for dinner or a movie nearly enough. To be honest, weeknights we’re both so tired and the weekends are full of laundry, catnaps and binge watching Dr. Who or Dexter. I don’t even want to climb out of my PJ’s on the weekends. So what’s a couple to do?

Date night is so important for MANY reasons. Not only does it give you the chance to get out of mommy mode, but it puts a little more zing in your bada-bing. Yeahhhhh girl…….you know what I’m sayin’. Right? Some of my favorite date night ideas are things like a romance movies marathon on a Friday or Saturday night. Or even not-so-romatic things like going fishing or even shopping at old antique stores. Below are tons more ideas though……enjoy!

 

date night ideasHere are 10 really cute and cheap date night ideas from Wifestyles. All really fun and easy ideas, nothing fancy schmancy….just wonderful date nights including things like ice cream sundae night, going to a drive-in and more. I haven’t been to a drive-in movie since I was a KID (in the early 80’s….and it was Bambi). Seriously…..my husband and I are gonna do this!

 

 

date night ideasOh my goodness. Here are 6 sweet anniversary ideas from The Dating Divas. Honestly though, these are all great ideas for any date night – not just on your anniversary. My favorite idea is the hammock for two. Dress it up with pillows and a blanket, and lights wrapped around the trees for a more romantic atmosphere. So soo awesome!

 

 

date night ideasLet’s admit that some date night ideas are just too over-the-top cheesy and men aren’t crazy about foo-foo like the ladies are. Here are tons of awesome men-approved date night ideas from The Dating Divas including ideas for the sports fans, the fit and active guys, the movie buffs and then of course, for the guys who don’t mind a little (or alot) of intimacy. {Wink!}

 

 

date night ideasI ain’t even gonna lie. I’m one of these “tired” parents. Yaawwwwn. Sometimes the thought of date night seems exhausting, especially if it’s planned on a day that happens to have been a crazy day. Cloudy with a Chance of Wine shares these 15 Fun and Frugal Date Night Ideas for us tired parents. Some of my favorite ones include making s’mores around a fire in the backyard and having a fondue night at home.

 

 

 

date night ideasI love, love, LOVE this idea. The Rays of Sunshine has these really sweet Date Night in a Jar idea using popsicle sticks. Each one has a different “date night idea” on it so you can pick one at random and not have to worry what you’re gonna do on your next night out. She even shares tons of ideas to write on your sticks for date night or you can create some of your own ideas, depending on what you and yours like to do.

 

 

date night ideasOkay, this Year of Dates in a Box idea from The Babes Ruth is just the sweetest! She has all of the ideas and shares the templates to create your own. This would make an incredible anniversary or Valentine’s Day gift. I just love everything about this idea.

 

Here are a few recipes perfect for date night…

Red Gold Snackadium

Make Your Very Own Game Day Snackadium (Snack Stadium) #RedGoldGameDay

January 16, 2015 by Jenni 448 Comments

Red Gold Snackadium

I bet you, that when your (or your guy’s) friends come over on game day and you have a yummy snackadium on the table, they will just think you’re the coolest wife EVER! I mean, seriously….these are so awesome! A stadium of snacks, hello!

So, I made this snackadium in like, 5 minutes. I dumped some guacamole in the center of a plastic tray to resemble the football field and then poured out some Red Gold salsa on both ends. Then I piped some sour cream on the guac using a ziploc bag with a tip cut off to represent the lines on the field. The grape tomatoes are the football players.

 

Red Gold Snackadium

Then I used a foam plate (it’s just what I had on hand) to cut small strips to use to make the goal posts. I taped them together using a little scotch tape and they stood right up in the salsa. The pretzels and the tortilla chips are the football “fans” sitting in their very expensive Super Bowl seats and the extra jars of Red Gold salsa are the tailgating areas. 😉 I had entirely too much fun making this and it’s really easy. Honest though, there are some amaZING looking snackadiums if you look online or on Pinterest. Some that I have seen are massive. This one is the perfect size for our family get together on game day at our house.

If you’re looking for some yummy game day recipes, I recommend visiting Red Gold’s website. They have tons and tons of some super duper EASY and delicious ideas over there. Appetizers, soups, “5 ingredient or less” meals just to name a few. I keep their site bookmarked so I can find their recipe page easily.

 

Red Gold Snackadium

 

Now, get your own snackadium ready for game day and fill it full of yummy snacks like Red Gold salsa and chips, guacamole, queso, and enjoy!

Don’t miss these other delicious appetizers…

  • Pecan Bacon and Ranch Cheeseball
  • Mini Caprese Bites
  • Bacon Wrapped Parmesan Crackers
  • Grape Jelly & BBQ Sauce Slow Cooker Meatballs

What are your favorite game day snacks?

Tuckaway Shores Resort Ocean View

Visit Tuckaway Shores Resort and the Space Coast on Your Next Florida Vacation

November 17, 2014 by Jenni 370 Comments

I was invited to stay 3 nights at Tuckaway Shores and visit the Space Coast. All lodging and expenses were paid, with the exception of travel. All opinions are my own, and honest as always.

tuckaway-shores-resort-ocean-view

I’d never been to Florida, until just recently! I was invited to visit for a few days and stay at the “old Florida” style Tuckaway Shores resort. Since I’d never been, I wanted to take a few days away to stay on the beach before winter set in here at home. As soon as we arrived, Jacqui greeted us and gave us a tour of the quaint and cozy Tuckaway Shores Resort.

I have to say that Jacqui and Suzanne, along with the rest of the staff, were beyond phenomenal. They called us by name and we were treated as though we were family. I have never, in my entire life, been treated that way by other hotel staff members. EVER. They made our weekend trip one to remember for a lifetime!

Tuckaway Shores is a small, 3 story resort. It’s got that “old, authentic Florida” vibe going on. It’s what Florida spots used to look like, before all the highrise and modern hotels moved in. All the rooms are very LARGE and spacious. All are decorated differently. We stayed on the 3rd floor and had these awesome fold style doors that opened up to the beautiful sight and sounds of the ocean! We were literally – ON the beach – and woke up to that beautiful view each and every morning! I didn’t even want to turn the TV on because I didn’t want it to drown out the sounds of the ocean waves crashing.

Tuckaway Shores is the perfect spot for a family vacation or getaway. There’s a bedroom, bathroom, living room and then a kitchenette. The kitchenette has everything you need! A stovetop, full size refrigerator/freezer, sink, microwave and everything else. Plates, glasses, cookware, coffee maker. They’ve got you covered! I don’t know about you, but when I’m on vacation at the beach, I don’t want to spend hours away in the city. Especially spending tons of money dining out. I want to STAY on the beach! Tuckaway Shores makes sure that you’re able to do just that.

 

tuckaway-shores-kitchenette

You won’t believe how clean the rooms are! To be on the ocean, with all the sand, I was amazed! Tuckaway Shores has actually won the “White Glove” award the last 5 years. That’s a pretty big deal. Basically what that means is that someone from Superior Small Lodging has visited (unannounced) and done their white glove inspection. Tuckaway Shores passed the test!

They have the Big Green Egg for grilling and cooking! We enjoyed a lot of really excellent food from some of the local Eggheads while we were there! They also have free Wi-fi, a heated pool, a cabana room, business center and private beach access!

tuckaway-shores-breezeway

 

About the beach! Let me just say that all I have to do is walk down the stairs and boom. I’m right there on the beach in less than a minute! There’s a beautiful breezeway leading out to the beach. They have beach toys and beach chairs right there for you to use – FREE of charge! There’s also a small showerhead for you to wash all the sand away before going back to your rooms! I love that!!!

 

beach-tuckaway-shores

The beach was so secluded, and CLEAN! I felt like, aside from just the few other bloggers that were there at the same time on the trip, that I saw maybe a handful of other people. Not congested at all like you’re used to seeing on other beaches. That was SUPER awesome! There were no rocks that kids could step on in the sand…..just your normal seashells and beautiful soft sand. The sand you sink down into……love it!

One really awesome thing is, that because Tuckaway Shores Resort is located in Indiatlantic, FL. it’s just about an hour or so to Orlando. If you’re planning a trip to Disney but want some quiet and seclusion at the same time – I would highly recommend staying at Tuckaway Shores. You won’t find that kind of quiet and seclusion anywhere else! OH, and the sunrises are beautiful!! Here’s a sunrise I caught on video one morning….

They’re also right on the Space Coast and there is SO much to do there. We visited the Kennedy Space Center, Brevard Zoo, Port Canaveral, and tons more! I’ll be posting more about each spot so keep your eye out for those posts!

If you’re interested in staying at Tuckaway Shores, then I have a deal for you! You can get an exclusive 20% off discount between now and December 15, 2015!! Just use promo code: Blog when you make your reservation. They do have some dates that this discount won’t be valid. These dates are months of February and March and holidays or during special events. Please check availability and make reservations here. You can also visit Tuckaway Shores on Facebook and Twitter!

What do you think your favorite part would be of staying at Tuckaway Shores Resort?

Dora and Friends: Into the City

New Episodes of Dora and Friends: Into the City! on Nickelodeon

August 25, 2014 by Jenni 492 Comments

This post brought to you by Nickelodeon’s Dora and Friends: Into the City!. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Sweet Pennies From Heaven.

11_nck_62391_dora_300x250_staticjpg_zps220b0828

Oh.my.word. If your kiddos are Dora and Friends fans then you probably already know about the new Dora and Friends: Into the City! episodes that came to Nickelodeon this month!

It’s always been important to me, that my little guy watches fun – but more than anything – EDUCATIONAL television. I loathe those other “kids” shows that are supposed to be a kid show but they’re obviously geared toward adults. Or the ones that just seem to have ZERO intelligence about them. You know what I’m talkin’ about.

These little brains start learning SO early, and I feel it’s super important to encourage imaginative play and skills – even through the TV screen at an early age!

Dora and Friends: Into the City

I’ve always been a stickler about what he watches, and he’s grown up with Dora so we’re excited to see these new Dora and Friends: Into the City episodes! Dora is growing up too, and it’s been fun to watch her over the years.

I have to admit, that I get caught up in the episodes while we watch together…I always have. I’m a huge fan of Boots, and Swiper is just f-u-n! “Awwww, man!”

“Meet Dora’s new friends, Alana Emma, Naiya, Kate and Pablo! They join Dora in their city of Playa Verde for awesome new adventures and challenges! Dora is armed with an ancient magical charm bracelet, a trusted Map app and the strength that she finds in her new friends!”

Dora and Friends: Into the City

Dora invites preschoolers to join her in saving the day, helps with problem solving, speaking Spanish and as always – giving back to the community! The original airdate was Aug. 18th but you can catch the videos at ToysRUs.com too plus find brand new Dora products at Toys “R” Us to help start your little one’s adventure! They even have a super cute selection of Back to School products, and several items on sale! That you should check out!!

So, are your kids fans of Dora? Have you already caught these new Dora and Friends: Into the City! episodes? If so, what do you think?! If you haven’t caught them yet, make sure to. We have them set to record on our DVR!
