Easy Buttery Popcorn Cupcakes – Creamy, sweet and topped with popcorn shaped marshmallows, this dessert is the perfect addition to a movie party, circus themed party, backyard movie night or family game night.

Popcorn Cupcakes

You know what has been my most favorite things about the kids growing up. They now can get in the kitchen and bake… and guess what?! They love it! I do too. Last week my daughter made lime sugar cookies with a lime butter cream frosting. This was using ingredients we had in the house too! So lately, I have been pinning more than just dinner recipes. I have been pinning baking recipes I want them to bake instead of me.

I wanted them to make these Popcorn Cupcakes for our Family Game Night. I also thought they would go perfect with a Backyard Movie Night, as well. But honestly, the possibilities are endless. Bake for an Oscar Night Movie Party, Circus Themed Party, or even a Girls Sleepover!

Enjoy!

Vacation from home! Check out the 20 best staycation ideas to enjoy a Spring Break Staycation. We’ve included staycation ideas you can easily drive to and ways to have fun on vacation right from the comfort of your home. Have fun!

Spring Break Staycation Ideas

You don’t need to shell out money to create a fun spring break vacation for the kids! This year and last year showed us that it’s important to learn how to have fun from the comfort of our homes. While we didn’t have much of a choice, we now know that it’s totally possible to have a blast without jet setting anywhere.

Whether you’re looking for creative ideas for your child’s spring break, activities for the summer, or just a few fun ideas for a long weekend, you’ll love these easy and frugal staycation ideas. Enjoy a holistay within your hometown and browse these 20 kid-approved activities!

From stargazing, to camping out in your backyard, to museum scavenger hunts and more, these Spring Break Staycation ideas are the best ways to make a vacation from home special!

What is a staycation?

Not all of us have the budget or willingness to take the family on a vacation every spring. Staycations bring all the fun of a great vacation into your very own home or hometown. They typically involve extra special activities that you might do when you’re on a real vacation, like camping in your own backyard or setting up a kiddie pool in the backyard.

Whatever your reason for enjoying these staycation ideas, let us know how much you love them in the comments!

Family Staycation Kit Digital Download

Looking for some fun ideas for a staycation at home? Grab this free Staycation Printable Pack to make it FEEL like your family is on a real vacation! Play tourist in your own town with these stay at home vacation ideas including a bucket list, menu planner, printable postcards, room keys, room numbers & more.

Add in the Science

Staycation ideas can be educational, too! During the week, have a day at home. Add in as many five minute science experiments as you can. The kids will have tons of fun getting to play scientist for the day!

Backyard Movie Theater

Pop some popcorn, plop together some pillows, put up a tent, string some lights… whatever it takes to make the coolest at home movie theater in your yard. Follow this DIY Backyard Movie Screen (from Simply Sprout) or pick up an outdoor movie screen for your evening.

Play Tourist

Play tourist in your hometown. Start by visiting your city’s visitor center and get creative with what new activities can fill your day. What new things do you want to see? Where haven’t you explored before? To really make your staycation fancy, book a hotel room for the night! Search places like Groupon for discounts and savings.

Baking Championship

Host a kids baking championship! Invite your kids’ friends or neighborhood pals to up the ante. Fill a basket with interesting ingredients for them to use or let them search the web for a recipe they want to make. You judge, determine the winner, and get to eat the food all at the same time… sounds like you’re winning! Adorable ideas for a baking party or championship from ikatbag.

Backyard Fire Pit

Make your entire dinner with just your fire pit! Can you tell we love food-related staycation ideas? Find camping recipes and make everything without using your kitchen. Two recipes we recommend are Camping Hot Dogs and Campfire S’mores Cones.

Go Geocaching

This activity is so fun, it will fill your whole day! Geocaching is the act of hunting for and finding hidden objects using GPS coordinates. Download the app and find hidden “treasure” in your town’s area. Learn more about how to geocache as a family on Frugal Mom, Eh.

Arts & Crafts Day

Host a whole day dedicated to arts and crafts! Take a look at some of these ideas – upcycled cereal box crafts, paint chip crafts, and rainy day activities. You also could pick up a craft supply set for a bunch of resources to help you get creative.

Picnic and a Discussion

Deepen relationships and learn a new fun fact about your loved ones! Have an Instagram-worthy picnic in your favorite grassy park. Picnics are a great opportunity to escape those everyday distractions like the doorbell, phone ringing, dog barking, and all the other things that interrupt quality time. Bring dinner conversation cards to start discussion and help you get to know your child and/or spouse better.

Backyard Campout

No need to venture into the woods — camp out in your own backyard! At night, you and your family can study the sky. Download the Sky Map App and study planets, stars, and constellations. Frugal Mom Eh has some creative ideas for backyard camping, as well.

Travel Abroad

Host an international vacation from home — no flight required! Choose a country you have always wanted to travel to. Eat food, plan activities, listen to music, and watch a movie. Of course, all of the eats and activities will be based on that country’s culture! Pick up a DVD from the library or watch something on Amazon Prime that relates to the country of your choice. Rick Steves has some great movies. Live, Life and Learning has a free printable passport you can use for your adventure with the kids. Every night of the week can be a different country!

Sleep Outdoors

Fill a truck or trampoline with pillows and blankets and have an outdoor campout under the stars! You can also see this idea in our Visual Summer Bucket List for Kids. Source and Source

Memories

Tired of keepsakes piling up? Get Marie Kondo inspired and get organized. This can be organized by school year or can just be a place you toss in old mementos, concert tickets, photos, and more. You’ll spend the whole night reminiscing over special moments with your family. A Bowl Full of Lemons can help you get started.

Family Game Night

Have a family game night or even a family game day! You can play many of these fun Minute to Win It Game Ideas. Craft a trophy for the winner, come up with some tasty Family Game Snacks, and let everyone choose a game to play!

Enjoy a Scavenger Hunt

Speaking of scavenger hunts, take a look at our dozens of Scavenger Hunt Ideas. We love this outdoor Flashlight Scavenger Hunt, perfect for staying up late and doing something memorable.

My Town Rocks

Rock hunting is the newest community adventure since Pokemon Go! Search your local town and area for rocks hidden by citizens just like you. Join local community boards to see places where rocks might be hidden and discover areas of your town you might not be familiar with. You and your family can paint rocks together to “hide” around your town and surrounding area to spread joy and brighten people’s day! More ideas on My Town Rocks.

Visit a Museum

We’ve seen some great Instant Pot accessories in the past, and this is one you’re going to want to make sure you grab this one. You’ll find you’ll use this basket over and over. We’ve been thinking about getting an Instant Pot, so we are totally going to have to get this to go with it!

Details:

RUST-FREE WITH STURDY HANDLE – Did you know that the other brand claims to use quality stainless steel but their instapot basket rusted? Putting your food in a rusted basket can be harmful to you and your kid’s body. Their handle is defective and pops out loose while carrying food. Imagine all that hot food spilling all over you and possibly getting burned. Totally UNSAFE! At Hatrigo, we only use the highest quality material and ensure you and your kid’s health and safety is our top priority
CUSTOM DESIGNED STEAMER BASKET TO FIT INSIDE THE INSTA POT – trusted by customers as shown in the hundreds of 5-STAR reviews, we wanted to design instant pot accessories that would make your cooking experience easier and efficient.

MAKE PRESSURE COOKING FUN FOR YOUR KIDS – We encourage you to try new recipes (such as boiled eggs, chicken broth, vegetables, asparagus, meatloaf, etc.) and have fun cooking with your family and kids, that’s why we designed the steamer basket for instant pot with food-grade silicone handle. Unlike other brands, our handle is fully wrapped in silicone, from one end to the other end, to prevent any burns from lifting out the egg basket from hot pots. Tested and approved by busy working moms
WE CARE ABOUT YOUR INVESTMENT – The Hatrigo vegetable steamer is the only basket on the market to have silicone wrapped legs on the base of the basket. Unlike the trivet, this steamer pot will help prevent scratching your instant pot inner liner so your pressure cooker will last for many more years. The best part is that the silicone legs help prevent slipping when removing your steamer insert basket and placing it on the counter. Don’t let your hard-working cooked food spill on the floor

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.
