Easter Scripture Scavenger Hunt & French Toast Bake

My kids are pretty excited to bake together, but add a scavenger hunt to search for the ingredients list? Well, they're going to love this! :) Colette from My Computer is my Canvas created this adorable printable Easter scavenger hunt to go with her Easter French Toast Bake recipe (free printable recipe card coming up!).




This cute printable scavenger hunt will send your kids into the scriptures to uncover the list of ingredients for the recipe (which you will have a cute recipe card for, with complete instructions and list of ingredients- just don't tell your kids before they complete their hunt! ;).

Turning Outdoor Activities Into Indoor Activities for Rainy Days

When the rain starts falling, it can feel like the perfect excuse to stay indoors, and with a little creativity, you can turn outdoor activities into indoor activities for rainy days! Instead of letting the weather keep your kids cooped up, why not bring the fun inside? With a few simple adjustments, you can transform games, crafts, and even learning experiences into rainy day adventures. Whether it’s an art project, a scavenger hunt, or a dance party, there are endless ways to keep your little ones entertained without ever stepping outside.

We had a lot of fun thinking about how to transform some typically outdoor activities into indoor activities. We had fun testing each of them out! They're all tried-and-tested and can be done with materials you have around the house or can pick up at a dollar store.

Finding time for fun in everyday life can be challenging, especially when responsibilities take priority. That’s why I’m starting a Fun Journal—a simple way to capture joyful moments and make space for more fun. In this post, I’ll walk you through how to create your own Fun Journal, why it works, and how it can help you focus on joy and gratitude.

Polka Dot Rainbow Cake

Here are some helpful tips and tricks for constructing a polka dot rainbow cake, decorated on the outside with the petal cake style.  
In this post, I'll focus on tips & tricks for execution rather than sharing a full recipe. Since you can find recipes for both of these types of cakes online already, I've linked to some recipes at the end of this post. 
For Talia's 8th birthday party, she wanted a polka dot birthday party. I knew that I wanted to make a cake surprise for her with a rainbow polka dot cake. I wasn't sure how I would decorate it on the outside until I came across what is called a petal cake which is the technique I used to frost the exterior- I love the effect!

How to Make a Polka Dot Cake

I used store bought cream cheese frosting for between the layers and a crumb coat (because I was worried that I would run out of the homemade cream cheese frosting that I used for the rainbow part). 

Rainbow Grilled Cheese

A couple years ago, for St. Patrick's Day we made rainbow grilled cheese and I thought it was such a fun idea that could be used any time you want to make lunch more fun!  I had a few people ask how to make it, so I put the instructions here.

Rainbow Grilled Cheese Recipe

All you need to create this colourful meal is bread, butter, white cheese, and food colouring.

Start by grating your cheese (we used havarti mixed with mozarella) and separate into four bowls.  This article recommends some of the best cheeses for melting and getting a stringy effect- which is a big bonus for rainbow grilled cheese sandwiches!

Focus on Fun: Rediscovering Yourself After Motherhood

It's hard to focus on fun! Have you ever noticed how easy it is to put fun on the back burner? Life gets busy, responsibilities pile up, and before we know it, the things we do just for fun start to feel like a luxury instead of a priority. But what if making space for fun was actually one of the best things we could do for ourselves?
