This week the Family Fun Friday team had to make some last minute adjustments so the format is different. Happy and Blessed Home was hacked and down for most of today. One of my awesome co-hosts, Herchel from Gym Craft Laundry, stepped in to open the party!
A hacker isn’t going to delay Family Fun Friday. The party must go on.
Happily, everything is sorted out and I am able to join in the fun. Better late than never!
This week our theme is thoughtful parenting, delicious gluten free desserts, preschool play ideas, and intentional love. At Family Fun Friday we’re featuring, Farm Animal Bento Boxes, FREE Chinese New Year Printables, and FREE Superhero Play Doh Mats.
Also, don’t miss these FREE Printable Potty Training Charts and a $200 Potty Training Prize Pack or $100 Kroger Gift Card Giveaway.
