Our Family was invited to watch an advanced screening of The Nutcracker movie last week, I promise I will not spoil it. I had never seen or read any version of the Nutcracker so I was excited. I’m not sure how the original story or play go, but this movie took my breath away! The scenes, dances and story was so beautiful and full of magic. I recommend that you go watch it and see it for yourself, I know that you will not be disappointed! I hope that you enjoy this Nutcracker Soldier Rice Krispie Treat Recipe & Coloring Pages.

Large families are a blessing, but they can have their challenges. When you have 8 people living under one roof, it can be challenging to stay organized. Here are some tips on how to stay organized as a large family that have helped me:
As a Mom of 6 kids I have tried everything under the sun when it comes to chores. Chore charts work. It’s that simple. Whatever reward was attached to the completion of the week was not as important. It was the satisfaction and happiness when they saw the chart completed. I have also bought the biggest and fanciest charts. I have made my own from printer paper or poster boards. Again, it was always about the end result. Having adorable and fun chore charts are pleasing to the eye of course, so any chance I got to use designs and characters was always a bonus! Here are some Cute and Functional Frozen Chore Charts we have created for you, I hope they help you as much as they helped me!
