With "March Madness" in full swing, there is a lot of excitement and talk of basketball in our home.  Today I made a fun afternoon snack for my kids, in honor of March Madness:  an orange basketball!

I used an orange peeler to make lines on the peel so that it would look like a basketball.  Easy, fun, and a great way to get my kids to consume their daily vitamin C!  And the best part?  My son took one look at it and said "Wow!  That looks really good.  Can I eat it?"  Score one for mom!

For more basketball ideas, check out this blog post:

My name is Laurie, and I am the author of the Family Theme Night Blog and two books (Let the Adventure Begin: Theme nights for Families with Young Children, and Memory Making Meals: Fun & Easy Family Dinners). I am also the mom of two boys, Drew (age 8) and Stephen (age 6). As a family, we have been doing family fun nights based around different themes since the boys were four and not quite two. I have put together lots of fun, easy and inexpensive ideas. We have enjoyed the adventure, and I want share these activities and resources with you!

More about me:

The boring stuff (my “credentials”):

I’m a graduate of Wheaton College (IL) and Nazareth College (NY) with degrees in elementary education and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). Before becoming a mom, I loved the challenge of teaching in the Rochester City School District.



The fun stuff:

• I love to travel (although I’ve traded European adventures for camping trips and amusement park visits).

• I consider swiss chocolate paired with a novel to be absolute bliss.

• I think hiking and geocaching with my family is a blast (until the boys get tired and cranky, but the first part of the hike is always fabulous!).

• My ideal getaway is a quaint bed and breakfast enjoyed with my wonderful husband.

• I actually love watching football and look forward to setting up my fantasy team every year (although it is a bit of a drag to be a Bills fan these days).

• I’m a huge Anne of Green Gables fan—I even convinced my husband to take me to PEI for our honeymoon!

• Besides planning and writing about our family theme nights, I enjoy teaching Sunday School and coaching an Odyssey of the Mind team.

• I love experimenting in the kitchen.

• I really do treasure every moment I spend with my family—especially our family fun nights!
