New Sundae Fundae Tradition + A Top it Your Way $125 GIVEAWAY from Smuckers®

0 · Aug 13, 2014 · 1 Comment

We have a new tradition here at our place… Sundays are now Ice Cream Sundaes!

Especially during the summer, it’s so fun to get together with friends and share an ice cream sundae out on the porch and just enjoy being together. Now that some of my kiddos are in their teens it’s even more fun to see them get together with their friends and laugh and enjoy their time together…

What better way to do that then with a fun sundae bar. Did you know that the folks at Smucker’s® have come out with some fun new premium ice cream toppings this summer?

Their Simple Delight line is absolutely inspired!! Hands down the Chocolate Coconut is my favorite but the Salted Caramel, Hot Fudge and Dark Chocolate aren’t too far behind.

Toss in their new Magic Shell® flavors like Chocolate Pretzel and you have a real PARTY!!

The nice thing about Ice Cream Sundae parties, they are so easy to throw together! Gather some of your favorite Smucker’s® Ice Cream toppings, grab a gallon of ice cream or two and there you have it.

It doesn’t need to be over the top, you don’t need anything fancy just some good ole’ ice cream fun!

We love our Ice Cream Sundae tradition, we come home from church have a quick dinner and then it’s out on the porch with our friends enjoying all of our crazy ice cream concoctions! Did you know that Smucker’s® is having a #SundaeFundae Contest right now… If you share photos of your favorite Sundae, you could win $5000!! Visit the contest page for more info…

Our friends at Smucker’s want to make it even easier for one of YOU to have your own Ice Cream Sundae party!

First Week of School Gift for Teachers

349 · Aug 12, 2014 · 6 Comments

It’s great to be back this month! We are Pam and Lisa from Over the Big Moon and we have a fun idea for your First Week of School Gift for Teachers! It’s a great way to help “C” your teachers through their first week back to school! With Carry Out, Caffeine, and Chocolate!

All you need is some delicious chocolate, a gift card for lunch, and a gift card to a local soda shop.

We put our chocolate in a canning jar with the couple of gift cards.

Then we cut a circle of cute paper to put on top of the jar!

You could also package it differently and attach the chocolate to a soda bottle with a Subway or Pizza gift card.

We hope you all have a great time going back to school! You can download the Free Printable tag below!

You can also check out our other teacher appreciation ideas HERE!

Mission Bound Shop + Stylish Tees for a Fabulous Cause

1 · Aug 11, 2014 · 7 Comments

I’m over the moon excited to share with you a project that I’ve been working on for a bit… Our new Mission Bound Shop!

So, what is Mission Bound? Many of you know that I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Our family has a really good friend named Austyn, who has recently joined the church. He’s 18 years old and he is so excited about his new found faith, and he can’t wait to go and serve a two year mission to share the gospel to some lucky place somewhere around the world! The issue, he is a first generation member of the church and will need to raise the funds for his mission on his own. You can read more about his story here…

This did not get him down one bit, he sprang into action and said, “What if I were to sell t-shirts to raise money for my mission!” And that is where it began. Austyn and I teamed up and created some stylish tees with up lifting messages and that is how The Mission Bound Shop was born!

Today is the grand opening of the shop. We have three designs to choose from…

Forget

Dream

Work

Soon we will also have a couple more designs in the shop…

Faith

Mormon

We will also be adding regular tees along with colored tees, hoodies and bags in the near future. We also carry extended sizes, extra small through 3XL.

We are super excited about the designs that we have to launch today and hope that together, we can help Austyn get out on his mission! Once Austyn’s mission is funded, a percentage of the sales will then go to help other missionaries pay for their missions as well, through the Church’s mission fund. Go #teammissionbound

Oh, one more thing… each month we will be giving away a free Mission Bound shirt to one lucky member of Team Mission Bound. If you take a photo of yourself with your Mission Bound shirt and add the hashtag #teammissionbound on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, you will be entered to win a free shirt!!

You can follow Mission Bound on Instagram and Facebook!
