Hands down, the most downloaded printable I’ve ever made. 🦃 Roll-a-Turkey is lazy, easy fun that brings the whole family together. The $4 printable kit comes with the best-selling game, a Jr edition (using 1-die), and an allergy-friendly edition (using skittles). Whether you have 3 people or 30, this game is a perfect addition to your family fun this week! Comment “Turkey” for a link to my shop. 🦃#bethefunmom #thanksgiving #groupgames

Scripture Study Tips with Maria from @meckmomlife

I love the Brother of Jared! He’s an unexpected underdog who uses heartfelt prayer and ingenuity to help his people find peace. His tenacious faith blows me away every time. 👏 If you’re looking for a new way to connect to his story, comment “16 Stones” to get a link to my latest video. It’s loaded with ideas for teaching this week’s Come Follow Me in surprising new ways. #bethefunmom #comefollowme #shineforth

I’m on a mission to get portable disco balls in every house. They just make everything better, don’t they? 🪩 If your front porch needs a little more excitement this Halloween, comment “disco” and I’ll send you a link to my cheap favorites. They’re battery powered but you can plug them in too. They’re just the right size, come in a 2-pack, and are on sale right now. 🎃🪩🎃 #bethefunmom #halloween #pumpkincarving #halloweenparty

We’ve heard so many promises about regular temple worship. It’s time to step up our game! 🙌 2024 was my most fulfilling temple year yet and I credit it to this simple tracker. It hangs on my office wall so I pass it multiple times every day. It helps me celebrate my small wins🏅… and see my blind spots more clearly. If you need a FREE boost for next year, comment “2025” and I’ll send the link to your DMs. #comefollowme #temple #generalconference

This mom hack memory popped up on my phone tonight. It’s one of my favorite summer tips so I had to share. It might also have something to do with seeing Sam’s adorable little boy face the night before he heads out for a week of adventure at @efyprogram. Well miss you, Big Ten! The house will be way too quiet without you. #momhacks #summer #poolnoodlehacks

My family is the coolest! 🏄‍♀️ I asked them to play this ridiculous game for our family reunion and they jumped in without a second thought. If you need an easy way to entertain a big group of people, this game is a must! #wynefamilyforever #familyreunion #groupgames

Special thanks to @wetekia for requesting this printable come back to the shop, just in time for summer. ☀️ I created FAMILY FEAR FACTOR as a way to help my kids take a few steps out of their comfort zone. You set the prizes, they determine when they’re ready to take the leap. It’s a system that helped my kids get on coasters 🎢, leap into lakes 💦, and kick silly fears (like petting big dogs and sleeping out under the stars). If your kids need a kickstart to adventure this summer, this little printable might be just the ticket. You can find it in my Etsy shop or watch the video on @studio5ksl . #familyfun #momhacks #summeradventure
