LZP Prom 2026 🪩✨ Oh what a night was had at the preschool prom with Arbor's bff! I've never seen a more adorable way for a school to get children and their families together for dancing, snacks, and a merry little time. ✨🪩

EASTER EGG HUNT HACK 🐰 A few years ago, we learned

EASTER EGG HUNT HACK 🐰 A few years ago, we learned the hard way that a free-for-all egg hunt with a wide age range is basically just a contact sport. The older ones don't stand a chance — the little kids are faster, more strategic, and apparently have no mercy when there are candy-filled eggs on the line. And yes... I said the little kids. They are savages.

The solution? Color-coded eggs.

Each child gets assigned their own egg color before the hunt starts, and they can only collect their color. No exceptions. It sounds simple, but honestly it was revolutionary. The younger grandkids actually get to find eggs now instead of just watching their older cousins sprint past them. The wrestling matches have been dramatically reduced. The parents are much calmer. We're all happier.

If you have a big family gathering with a wide range of ages, I cannot recommend this enough. It is an absolute game changer. #eastertraditions #easteregghunt #easterhack

I take note every time we, as parents, do something inherently different with our third child than we did with our first two. 🫠 If I miss the change, my daughters often point out what they never got to do when they were little. No one is mad about the third child parenting differences – and Mom and Dad aren’t ashamed. We have accepted our fates and this is what we do to survive. ... read more on Caitlin Houston Blog.
