Logan rode #StarTours for the first time and met Chewie, who wasn't a fan of his Darth hoodie. It was hilarious how concerned Chewie got over Logan being on the dark side lol! So many fun memories are being made and I'm just trying to bottle them all up! #DisneySMMC #starwarsfan #logancoppolagram #myfantasybands #chewiewerehome #darthvader #darkside #disneyhollywoodstudios #disneymoms #disneymagic #disneymemories #chewbacca #startoursride #magicband2 #magicbanddecals #magicbands Beep Boop Beep, I can barely contain my excitement! Next week we'll be in Disney World for #DisneySMMC land and sea conference. Amelia told me tonight that she was going to dream of Mickey Mouse and Logan can't stop talking about riding Space Mountain for the first time! I just want a Dole Whip (or 5). Any Disney World tips for us?? #disneyworld #disneymom #r2d2 #beepboopbeep #starwarsluggage #starwarsfan #imgoingtodisneyworld #disneymagic #disneymoments #disneytips #packingfordisney #disneycruise #dolewhip #spacemountain #momlife #disneymemories #disneycountdown My kids are counting down the days until The LEGO Batman Movie hits theaters on February 10! In honor of the movie, we crafted up some surprise bath bombs - LEGO Batman and Joker style. Inside each bath bomb, we placed a LEGO Batman mini figure. Logan had so much fun pretending that Joker trapped Batman in a bath bomb. It was his mission to help Batman escape and capture the Joker. Total mom win that the mission included a bath! #LEGOBatmanMovie #ad #batman #legobatman #legoobsessed #bathbombaddict #bathbombtime #peppermintessentialoil #batmanparty #joker #kbnmoms #kidcrafts #homemadebathbombs #batmanandrobin #instacraft #diycrafts Logan requested glow stick valentines this year and this is what I came up with! I thought they turned out pretty cute and he can't wait to hand them out (printable is on the blog). #valentinecards #schoolvalentines #classroomvalentines #glowsticks #valentinesday #willyoubemyvalentine #freeprintable #kbnmoms #creativeblogger #kindergartenlife #momlife #momlifeisthebestlife #kinder Anything mini makes me happy, especially these itty bitty @kraftjetpuffed #MallowBits! They are the cutest ever and were the perfect addition to my s'mores chocolate bark recipe! The kids had a blast helping me make this (and sampling along the way)! #JetPuffed #JetPuffedBlogger #ad #smores #smoresnight #smoresgalore #marshmallows #marshmallowmadness #marshmallowlove #minimarshmallows #chocolatebark #chocolaterecipes #instachocolate #foodgawker #yahoofood #instayummy #ontheblogtoday Where have Australian #TimTams been all my life?! Ohmygosh, run to @worldmarket and grab a package (or ten) ASAP! Want to make them even more amazing (if that's even possible)? Bake them into a chocolate cupcake and top with chocolate ganache frosting. I've found my heaven! #ausopen #worldmarkettribe #ad #worldmarket #timtam #chocolatecupcake #instacupcake #chocolovers #recipeblog #timtamslam #australian #instayummy #yahoofood #foodgawker #ontheblogtoday Wasn't she just a newborn like yesterday?! Today was Amelia's first day of preschool! No tears or reservations, but I didn't expect any from our (sometimes overly) confident girl. She was so excited, practically skipping to her classroom. Every child she saw, she'd greet them with a cheery "Hi, I'm Amelia! I'm going to school too!". Her big, spunky personality will serve her well in life. #ameliacoppolagram #firstdayofschool #3yearold #3yearoldlife #preschooler #kbnmoms #preschoollife #firstdayofschoolpic #momlifeisthebestlife #momlifeisthebest #preschoolrocks Logan wants to buy a new @weeworkforgood kit with some of the money that he received from Christmas. I love that these kits combine creativity + compassion and come with everything you need for a fun project, how could I say no! My pet loving little guy is looking at the animal welfare kit, which looks like a lot of fun! #weeworkforgood #ad #subscriptionboxes #subscriptionboxforkids #paintingfun #kbnmoms #kidactivity #blankcanvas #minipicasso #creativityrocks #creativekids #art #inspirecreativity You'd think the obsession would weaken, but the #FrozenFever is still going strong around here! We're headed to Disney World next month for #DisneySMMC and all Amelia can talk about is meeting Elsa and turning into a princess at the #bippityboppityboutique. This is such a fun age for Disney World! We crafted up #Frozen inspired #mickeyears for our trip! #elsaandanna #elsa #frozenelsa #snowflake #disneyonice #disneymom #disneymoms #disneycrafts #frozencrafts #disneymoments #3yearoldlife #letitgo #doyouwannabuildasnowman Mom Tip: If you have a reluctant bather, use bath bombs to lure them in. Works every time, my kids get so excited about dropping a bath bomb in their bath water! You can find the recipe for these #frozen inspired peppermint bath bombs #ontheblog today. They are so easy to make and smell divine! #bathbombaddict #bathbombs #frozenfever #frozenelsa #elsaandanna #momtip #bathtime #fishextendergifts #disneymoms #disneysmmc #fishextender #giftidea #disneycrafts #peppermintessentialoil #snowflakes Hello 2017! Do you pick a word to focus on for the year? I thought I'd pick something related to my many goals for the year (one of them being eating healthier), but I kept coming back to one word. Gratitude. So, today I'm grateful for the ability to make healthy meals for my family. I'm also grateful that my kids (mostly) like fruits + veggies. My new go to lunch, tuna stuffed avocado, recipe is on the blog! #wordoftheyear #wordoftheday #newyearnewme #newyear2017 #newyeargoals #gratitude #newyearresolutions #recipe #creativefoodies #avocadolover #tunasalad #whole30approved #paleorecipes #glutenfreerecipes #weightlossjourney #weightwatchersrecipe #instayum Santa pulled it off and brought Amelia a cloud, the only thing on her wishlist this year. Her eyes lit up when she saw it and she exclaimed, "That's what I've always wanted!" I'm already bracing myself for what she'll be requesting next year, this girl likes to keep us on our toes lol! Merry Christmas! #ameliacoppolagram #cloud9 #cloudballoon #clouds☁ #merrychristmas #3yearoldlife #toddlerlife #christmasforkids #christmasgifts #santaclausiscomingtotown #santawashere #ilovechristmas #thankyouamazon Merry Christmas Eve-Eve! We had our annual cookie decorating gathering with our neighbors this morning and drove around to see lights before bedtime. I love this time of year so much! Right now, I'm sitting in front of our tree, wondering if my family would notice if I kept it up year round lol! Share a photo of your Christmas tree or holiday decor on Instagram and be sure to tag #SupermomTreeParade. You'll be entered to #win a $50 #Amazon #GiftCard!

This year, we're gifting wrapping paper rolls with tape and a cute tag (which is #ontheblog). Practical and thoughtful for the win! #giftideas #teachergifts #practicalgifts #wrappingpaper #thoughtfulgift #freeprintables #printabletags #holidaygiftideas #snowman⛄ #printabletags #teachergifts #merrychristmas #lastminutegifts We're looking forward to a kid-friendly #newyearseve celebration, with an early bedtime (shhh don't tell the kids)! We'll be ringing in the new year with a special balloon countdown, as we reminisce about the past year. #balloontime #ad #nyegoals #balloondrop #ballooncountdown #nyecountdown #kidfriendlynewyears #newyearsparty #blackandgold #bedtime #balloons #toddlerstyle #3yearoldlife #ameliacoppolagram #balloonfun #ontheblog "Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time." Logan could paint/draw/sculpt/build all day long if we let him. His teachers, even in preschool, always comment on how insanely creative he is. We talk a lot about how we can all use our talents for good and I love that @weeworkforgood kits reinforce those messages! #weework #giftsthatgiveback #ad #giftsthatgive #teachingcompassion #empathy #weeworkforgood #subscriptionboxes #dogood #gooddeeds #makeadifference #spreadkindness #christmasgiftideas #kidsubscriptionbox #giftidea #bekind #logancoppolagram #tucsonwildlifecenter Logan asked for a bike and Amelia, who likes to keep us on our toes, requested a cloud. Santa is currently searching on Amazon and Pinterest for clouds. #santapics #santapictures #alliwantforchristmas #christmaslist2016 #christmasgifts #clouds #ameliacoppolagram #logancoppolagram #santaselfie #santaclaus #santaminis #ilovechristmas #christmasmemories #picswithsanta Once a week we have movie night at home. My kids have been looking forward to @secretlifeofpets coming out on DVD & Blu-ray, so I planned an extra special movie night for them! We dined on "puppy chow" and drank out of fire hydrant cups, it was pretty fabulous! These are the moments I hope my kids always remember! #ad #TheSecretLifeOfPets #PetsPack This is the one time of year that I don't mind being in the kitchen. I love giving away homemade baked goods as gifts. These cranberry apple granola clusters are headed to my husband's co-workers. My house smells so good and who can resist a jar full of Quaker® Simply Granola goodness! #SimplySatisfying #ad #quakeroats #granolaclusters #holidaybaking #holidaygifts #gifts #recipeontheblog #ontheblogtoday #christmasgiving #granolalife #cranapple #cranberry #applerecipes #instayum #foodinajar #masonjarrecipes #yahoofood #foodgawker We crafted up a fairy garden kit to give to our neighbors, who have 2 fairy loving little girls. The kit includes twinkling lights, fairy accessories, moss, scented pinecones, faux snow, gems, pebbles and a vile of glitter to make the magic work! We had so much fun putting the kit together that we went back to @biglots to grab supplies for our own winter #fairygarden! #BigLotsHoliday #ad #fairiesarereal #mossgarden #winterfairy #christmasmemories #holidaygifts #giftideasforkids #giftideas #biglotsfinds #fairyhouses #woodlandchristmas #kbnmoms #ilovechristmas #gifts#ontheblog
