🎲 It’s #nationalscrabbleday 🃏

I'm sad to report that I don't have any photos of us playing Scrabble even though I love that game! I can't find my board 😭😭

In its place, I am sharing the fun we have playing Catolpoly! Even my cat enjoys the game.
It is a great way for my daughter to learn about money and the need to pay for things. For whatever reason, kids seem to think money grows on trees or that everything is just free. 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

*BONUS*
Each card has a fun cat fact on it. We have learned so much about our furry family members with this game.

Check out my Amazon storefront (link in bio) to grab this game for your next family game night. #amazoninfluencer #amazonfinds

Picture this: You are scrolling social media and see a post by your cousin (who happens to be your best friend @noellebayer ) that says she had found the perfect cake for her birthday, if only someone would make it for her. You like to bake and figure...how hard could it really be?

My latest blog post talks about the adventure I had while making this decadent Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake.

To find out more about this delicious recipe from @omgchocolatedesserts and to read my review, head over to amymcbish.com (link in bio).

If you love chocolate and peanut butter, you definitely need to try this cake!!

Today is National Pet Day, so I didn't want to miss the chance to show off my fur babies.

Yes, I am that crazy cat lady. I would definitely have more if it weren't for the cost (read: cat food and litter).

The black cat is Figaro and the tabby is Lexi.

Today is Siblings Day and I would challenge anyone to prove that they have a better sister than I do.

My sister is beautiful, strong, supportive, funny, caring, and kind. She is an amazing singer, advocate, minister, shampoo girl, and friend. Life has not always been easy for her, especially this past year, but she is a shining example of what it means to rely on Jesus and the hope He provides.

I love you, Sister!!

🐰 Wishing you all a very Happy Easter! 🐰

Today, while you celebrate with your family and friends, remember that Jesus's Resurrection is the greatest gift of all.

I love the lyrics to this song by @castingcrownsofficial

Check it out if you don't already know it: "Glorious Day (Living He Loved Me)"

Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He’s coming
Oh glorious day, oh glorious day

Happy Easter!! Some friends and I are sharing some fun Easter posts and wishing everyone a Happy Easter! To follow along, use the tag #ladyblogcircle

✝️ Hippity, hoppity, Easter’s on its way! 🐇

This year my daughter's Easter basket focuses heavily on Jesus, the true reason we celebrate.
Of course, I included some of the fun Easter items too. But she is old enough to understand that the Easter Bunny is second to the true cause for celebration.

Happy Waffle Day!!

In honor of this tasty day, we made Strawberry Shortcake Bubble Waffles. They were a delicious treat that got us in the mood for warmer weather!

As a reminder, I wrote a blog a while back about how to make bubble waffles. If you haven't tried them yet, I highly recommend making a beeline to amymcbish.com (link in bio) to check them out.

So tell me: do you prefer a lot or a little whipped cream?
I prefer A LOT!

I've been trying my hand at creating printables lately, so I thought I would put together some for Easter.

I created a little maze (my daughter was "BORN" to do mazes), a coloring page, and a bunny seek-and-find.
I also tried making some Easter stickers (available in SVG). I hope they work! I am really new to making things for the Cricut.

Head over to amymcbish.com (link in bio) to grab these for the kiddos.

I just finished watching the reboot of Punky Brewster with @moonfrye and @realfreddieprinze on @peacocktv

It got me feeling nostalgic for all things 80s, so I am throwing it back to my outfit for an 80s party I went to over 10 years ago.

🌈 Genesis 9:13 🌈
"I have set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between Me and the Earth."

For today's rainbow craft, we reviewed the promises of God. There are 7 (but we only had 6 pieces of paper). They are:
I will be with you.
I will protect you.
I will be your strength.
I will answer you.
I will provide for you.
I will give you peace.
I will always love you.

Next time you see a rainbow, you can be reminded of God's promises to all of us.

It is the first day of Spring!
Do you feel like 2021 is flying by or is it going way too slow?

Either way, Spring means time to clean out the cobwebs and dust, open the windows, and brighten things up!

Prior to decorating for the season, we always for a spring cleanup. I put together a printable checklist to help you keep track of your cleaning efforts. You can grab it (and some Pro Tips) over at amymcbish.com (link in bio).

🐷 My daughter is legit obsessed with pigs. 🐷

As a baby, I got her a stuffed Piggie (from the Gerald and Piggie books) and it was love at first hug. She collects pigs...especially piggy banks and has even gone so far as to tell us that she wants to be a pig when she grows up.

Imagine my pleasant surprise when I found @piggypaint nail polish at Target!!
The polish may not put her one step closer to becoming a pig, but at least she will have super cute nails!

**BONUS**
You know how I feel about toxins...so I have GREAT news!
Piggy Paint is:
⭐ Non-toxic, odorless, and kid-friendly
⭐ Water-based, cruelty-free, vegan, and FREE from all harsh chemicals!

I saw this quote on a church sign the other day and it has stuck with me. This is God's ultimate math problem and it has been solved for us.

Ephesians 7:1 (ESV):
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness, according to the riches of His grace
