Sponsored by LEGO®, you can help protect Wonder Woman’s Golden Lasso from the evil Kryptomite with the LEGO DC Super Hero Girls Wonder Woman Dorm set!

LEGO® DC Super Hero Girls Wonder Woman Dorm

My daughter is infatuated with super heroes in general, and recently discovered DC Super Hero Girls. This series of webisodes feature iconic Super Heroes like Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Batgirl, Harley Quinn, Bumblebee, Poison Ivy, and Katana at Super Hero High, navigating all the twists and turns of high school with superpowers.

Needless to say, she was ecstatic to build this LEGO DC Super Hero Girls Wonder Woman Dorm set! Recommended for ages 7-12, this 186-piece set offers age-appropriate build and play experience. My daughter was able to read the easy-to-follow instructions all on her own and felt like a hero herself once she finished building.

To expand the LEGO DC Super Hero Girls fun, you can combine this set with other sets like Harley Quinn to the Rescue, Batgirl Batjet Chase, Bumblebee Helicopter, Lashina Tank, and of course, Super Hero High School!!

LEGO® DC Super Hero Girls Wonder Woman Dorm

This awesome set features a Wonder Woman mini-doll figure, a suspicious orange Kryptomite, bed with an opening window and a secret drawer/screen, separate opening wardrobe, and super cool "invisible" motorbike and workstation including tools and paint!

LEGO® DC Super Hero Girls Wonder Woman Dorm

This dorm might look like the perfect, Wonder Woman-themed dorm room.... but we all know Wonder Woman is the best at hiding things!

LEGO® DC Super Hero Girls Wonder Woman Dorm

Not only does her bed have an opening window and space for a trophy above, but you can open up the bed to show a hidden drawer below the bed that holds the computer screen. Once her bed is opened, you can slide the screen out and attach it to the nightstand so she can do some super hero planning!

LEGO® DC Super Hero Girls Wonder Woman Dorm

I just love how you can open up everything in the dorm to hide things, or to reveal super tools!

LEGO® DC Super Hero Girls Wonder Woman Dorm

Not only does Wonder Woman have the coolest room, but she also has an "invisible" motorbike! Set the motorbike up on the workstation’s rotating platform to get it fixed up with a wrench, and make the bike look its best with two spray paint cans and a tub of wax polish!

LEGO® DC Super Hero Girls Wonder Woman Dorm

When the motorbike is ready, Wonder Woman can hop on and take it out on the road to save the day!!

LEGO® DC Super Hero Girls Wonder Woman Dorm

By playing with LEGO, kids can use their imagination and get creative. This set encourages girls to be part of the action-packed LEGO DC Super Hero Girls world as Wonder Woman protects her Golden Lasso from the Kryptomite! The Kryptomite can sneak in through Wonder Woman's open window to have a look around the dorm.

LEGO® DC Super Hero Girls Wonder Woman Dorm

While the Kryptomite is snooping around, Wonder Woman sneaks up behind him and captures him with her Golden Lasso! Take that, Kryptomite!!

LEGO® DC Super Hero Girls Wonder Woman Dorm

To keep Super Hero High and her belongings safe, you can help Wonder Woman trap the Kryptomite in the wardrobe!

The ideas are endless when kids use their imagination, and that is exactly what I love about LEGO. By building sets like this one, kids get those skills to be able to build more unique creations on their own and are encouraged to play! My daughter can't wait to try more LEGO DC Super Hero Girls sets in the future!!

Download Free Printable DC Super Hero Girls Bingo to play at home and at parties!

DC Super Hero Girls fans will absolutely LOVE this LEGO DC Super Hero Girls Wonder Woman Dorm set. I've also designed a Free Printable DC Super Hero Girls Bingo that is SUPER fun for parties and for playing at home. My daughter loves playing and seeing all her favorite characters.

Right now my daughter is infatuated with DC Super Hero Girls. She's always loved super heroes, but these girls are totally awesome!! This series of webisodes feature iconic Super Heroes like Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Batgirl, Harley Quinn, Bumblebee, Poison Ivy, and Katana at Super Hero High, navigating all the twists and turns of high school with superpowers.

For those who also love DC Super Hero Girls, I've created a free printable DC Super Hero Girls Bingo for you to play and celebrate your favorite heroes!

Free Printable DC Super Hero Girls Bingo is great for parties!

DC Super Hero Girls Bingo includes all of your favorite characters, including Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Batgirl, Bumblebee, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy and Katana as well as a few new ones you might not recognize yet! The bingo set includes ten bingo cards, so it's easy to print and use for parties. It's fun for every age to play, and the calling cards include the names of the characters in case you don't know who they are.

(Set includes 10 bingo cards and calling cards in a single PDF file)

Free Printable DC Super Hero Girls Bingo is great for parties!

The blank set works a little differently. You get one bingo card with empty spaces (except for the "free" spot). Then print and cut out the bingo pieces so you can assemble the bingo cards yourself! Just glue the pieces in place and you're ready to play!

This is a great option for little hands that want to be creative, or if you have a larger group of people and don't want multiple cards that are the same. The blank bingo set includes all the same characters as the full set, but you can create your own bingo card setup.

(Set includes one blank bingo card, bingo pieces, and calling cards in a single PDF file)

Game Instructions
1. Pick some kind of object to mark your squares (candy, glass gems, buttons, etc)
2. Give each player a bingo card and markers (or put your own card together with the blank set).
3. Have each player put a marker over the free space.
4. Have one person choose a calling card and say it out loud. Each player will cover that item on their card with a marker.
5. Once a player has 5 squares covered in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally), call out "BINGO!" and win the game!

Some things you should know before downloading:

*Please do not remove the credits/watermarks.

To lengthen the life of the prints, I would recommend printing the bingo cards and calling cards on cardstock. All sets are 8.5x11 inches and combined in a single PDF format.

Make some Cheesy Alfredo Rigatoni Pie for a romantic night in this Valentine's Day and download a free printable card to share with your loved one!

Date nights at home are the best! It's a great way to save money, and it helps us get a little more creative for spending time together. To make Valentine's a little lighter on the budget and to make things a little more personalized, I am planning a sweet Valentine's Night-In with my husband this year instead of getting a reservation at some fancy restaurant. I've also made a punny Valentine card (that really can be used for any occasion) to give my husband with a little gift!

Make some Cheesy Alfredo Rigatoni Pie for a romantic night in and download a free printable card! #StayInWithPasta

With a little help from Barilla® Rigatoni, I am going to make us a special pasta dish to enjoy. Cheesy Alfredo Rigatoni Pie is really easy to make, but looks like you spent all day in the kitchen (which is great for impressing your Valentine date, right?!).

Make some Cheesy Alfredo Rigatoni Pie for a romantic night in and download a free printable card! #StayInWithPasta

Using the Cartwheel Offer 5% off Barilla Pasta & Sauce at Target, I was able to save money on the ingredients I needed to make my Cheesy Alfredo Rigatoni Pie. Both the Barilla Rigatoni pasta and the Barilla Creamy Alfredo Sauce are easy to find with the signature classic blue packaging in the pasta aisle!

Make some Cheesy Alfredo Rigatoni Pie for a romantic night in and download a free printable card! #StayInWithPasta

Bring 4-6 quarts of water to a boil, and add salt to taste. Add the Rigatoni pasta and cook one minute less than the packaging suggests for "al dente". For example, the Barilla Rigatoni pasta directions say to boil for 12 minutes to get al dente. I cooked the pasta for 11 minutes so that the pasta is slightly underdone.

Drain the pasta and immediately rinse in cold water. Pour the pasta into a bowl and add in the Parmesan cheese and a little Mozzarella cheese. Carefully stir until all the pasta is coated.

Spray a 8-9 inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray. Tip the pan to a 45º angle and start laying the Rigatoni pasta so it's standing up in the pan. You will likely use the entire package of pasta. The trick is to pack the pasta in tightly. The cheese coating the noodles are going to help keep our pie together.

Psst...Not all the pieces of pasta are the same height, so don't worry. You won't be able to tell once it's finished.

Make some Cheesy Alfredo Rigatoni Pie for a romantic night in and download a free printable card! #StayInWithPasta

Pour about 2 cups of Barilla Creamy Alfredo sauce* over all of the pasta. The sauce is delicious on its own, so you don't need to add any other ingredients. Lightly tap the pan on the counter to help the sauce fill in some of the pasta. You'll thank me for this step later.

*You can also make your own Alfredo sauce if you have a recipe you love. I used the Barilla Creamy Alfredo sauce because it's delicious, and easy addition to this recipe, as well as a lot less dishes for me to wash.

Make some Cheesy Alfredo Rigatoni Pie for a romantic night in and download a free printable card! #StayInWithPasta

Sprinkle the rest of the Mozzarella cheese evenly over the pie. You can also add a bit more Parmesan cheese if you want!

Since not all springform pans are totally sealed, you will want to place a cookie sheet or another pan to catch anything that might drip out into your oven. Bake the pie until the cheese is melted, and then broil for a minute or two to brown the cheese a little.

Make some Cheesy Alfredo Rigatoni Pie for a romantic night in and download a free printable card! #StayInWithPasta

Remove the Rigatoni Pie from oven at let cool for 5-10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges, then remove the springform side collar. The noodles should all be holding together well and smelling delicious!!

To serve, slice the Rigatoni Pie like you would any pie. As you can see, the Rigatoni gets filled with delicious Alfredo sauce. You can also cook some chicken to enjoy on the side, or cut chicken up into tiny pieces and add it in as a layer above the sauce! The Cheesy Alfredo Rigatoni Pie reheats fantastically (1-1 1/2 minutes in the microwave) so it's perfect for leftovers.

A 9" springform pan should be plenty to feed a family. If you can find smaller pans (I couldn't), you can make personal sized pans for you and your spouse for a romantic night in.

Cheesy Alfredo Rigatoni Pie

Ingredients:
1 lb. Barilla Rigatoni pasta
2 cups Barilla Creamy Alfredo sauce
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese

Directions:
  1. Bring 4-6 quarts of water to a boil, and add salt to taste.
  2. Add the pasta and cook for 11 minutes so that the pasta is slightly underdone.
  3. Drain the pasta and immediately rinse in cold water.
  4. Pour the pasta into a bowl. Add in the 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese. Carefully stir until all the pasta is coated.
  5. Spray a 8-9 inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  6. Tip the pan to a 45º angle and start placing the Rigatoni pasta into the pan so it's standing up. Pack the pasta in the pan tightly for best results.
  7. Pour about 2 cups of Barilla Creamy Alfredo sauce over the pasta. Lightly tap the pan on the counter to help the sauce fill in the pasta.
  8. Sprinkle the rest of the Mozzarella cheese evenly over the pie.
  9. Bake at 350º for 30 minutes or until all the cheese is melted. Broil for a minute or two if you'd like to brown the cheese a little.
  10. Remove from oven at let cool for 5-10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges, then remove the springform side collar.
  11. To serve, slice the Cheesy Alfredo Rigatoni Pie like you would any pie.
*This dish works best using Rigatoni pasta, but any of the fun Barilla pasta shapes would work if you use a casserole dish instead.

You can find cards nowadays for pretty much any occasion - and Valentine’s Day is no exception. Wishing someone Happy Valentine’s Day with an American Greetings card is a simple way to brighten their day and connect with someone you love. This year, I wanted to give my husband something a little more special for Valentine's Day. Instead of the traditional store-bought box of chocolates, I decided to make him his own with all of his favorite flavors, as well as a special card I chose just for him.

Combine American Greetings cards with a DIY Valentine Box of Chocolates for a sweet Valentine gift! #MyTuesdayValentine

Valentine's Day is all about making meaningful connections. You can download and print American Greetings Valentine printables and digital assets to bring a little more love into your home! There's a printable shopping list with tear-off “love notes” (perfect for leaving around the house and in lunch boxes!), a Valentine mobile/desktop, a printable 8x10 Valentine’s Day frame-worthy quote, and this adorable printable February calendar that I have attached to my DIY Memo Board in my craft room!

Making your own box of chocolates sounds daunting, but it really isn't that difficult to do. You'll save money and have a whole box of chocolates you LOVE!

You'll just need a few basic supplies:
Silicone Mold - any shape you want! There are TONS of options out there. I used a square mold because I wanted to keep the chocolates simple.
Chocolate Melting Wafers - I went with milk chocolate since that is my husband's favorite, however, you can get these in dark, milk, and white chocolate, as well as vanilla flavors in pretty much any color you can imagine!

Start by melting some chocolate wafers in the microwave according to package directions. Spoon a small amount of chocolate into the mold. While the chocolate is still hot and melty, slowly turn the mold so that the chocolate just covers the bottom and the sides of the mold. Tap the mold on the counter to get rid of any air bubbles. Place in the refrigerator or freezer until the chocolate is set.

Combine American Greetings cards with a DIY Valentine Box of Chocolates for a sweet Valentine gift! #MyTuesdayValentine

Now for the fun part! Choose what kind of chocolates you want to make. You can use pretty much anything you want. Think of your favorite candy bars for inspiration. I made five different kinds of chocolates to start out with (left to right):
Mint Chocolate: crushed fudge mint cookies mixed with some melted chocolate wafers
Mini Candy Chocolate: mini M&Ms. Yep.
Peanut Caramel Chocolate: crushed peanuts, and a piece of caramel
Chocolate Almond: bits of crushed almonds mixed with some melted chocolate wafers
Chocolate Wafer: chocolate or vanilla wafer cookie cut to fit into the mold

Combine American Greetings cards with a DIY Valentine Box of Chocolates for a sweet Valentine gift! #MyTuesdayValentine

Melt some more chocolate wafers in the microwave and carefully spoon chocolate into the molds over top of the centers. Tap the mold on the counter again to remove any air bubbles. Place in the refrigerator or freezer until the chocolate is set.

Combine American Greetings cards with a DIY Valentine Box of Chocolates for a sweet Valentine gift! #MyTuesdayValentine

Once the chocolate has set, you can remove the chocolates from the mold. If you want, you can add a piece of the chocolate centers (for example, a peanut or an M&M) to the top of the chocolate so you can tell them apart. I chose not to because I was keeping my box of chocolates a bit more realistic with the element of surprise - but filled with all of his favorites!

Combine American Greetings cards with a DIY Valentine Box of Chocolates for a sweet Valentine gift! #MyTuesdayValentine

Now that the chocolates are ready to go, they just need a fancy box to go in. You can use any small box you like. Mine was an older one from a box of chocolates I received for Christmas. I chose some metallic American Greetings gift wrap to dress up the box to look perfect for Valentine's Day.

Combine American Greetings cards with a DIY Valentine Box of Chocolates for a sweet Valentine gift! #MyTuesdayValentine

Cut a piece of gift wrap about 2 inches larger than the box top or bottom. Channel your holiday gift wrapping skills and carefully fold up the sides and wrap the top and bottoms of the box. Tape the ends in place on the inside of the box. Try to keep the outside of the box looking as beautiful as possible.

Combine American Greetings cards with a DIY Valentine Box of Chocolates for a sweet Valentine gift! #MyTuesdayValentine

Fold up a piece of tissue paper and lay it inside the bottom half of the box. Then, carefully arrange the chocolates into the box. Just for fun, I also used a heart silicone mold to make a larger chocolate to place in the center of the other chocolates. Like I said before, this is your own custom box of chocolates - so get creative!

Combine American Greetings cards with a DIY Valentine Box of Chocolates for a sweet Valentine gift! #MyTuesdayValentine

Besides a whole lot of chocolate, I must admit that this American Greetings card is my most favorite thing on the planet. I mean, this card was just meant to be! The obvious ARTSY FARTSY, the glitter, and the inside sentiment is as perfectly humorous and romantic as me and my husband's relationship! There's really a card for everyone, and it's so fun to look through them all to find the perfect one.

Combine American Greetings cards with a DIY Valentine Box of Chocolates for a sweet Valentine gift! #MyTuesdayValentine

If you're looking to surprise your significant other this Valentine's Day, making them their own custom box of chocolates is an easy, yet thoughtful gift that I'm sure they will love! I can't wait to see my husband's face when he opens up his Valentine gift. I know he'll appreciate having his own handmade chocolates in his favorite flavors, and the card is sure to put a smile on his face.

Combine American Greetings cards with a DIY Valentine Box of Chocolates for a sweet Valentine gift! #MyTuesdayValentine

When I went to choose my husband's card, my daughter tagged along to help me out. She wanted to make a special gift for her teacher, so we chose some Valentine American Greeting stickers, tissue paper and a gift bag to wrap up some more handmade chocolates.

Combine American Greetings cards with a DIY Valentine Box of Chocolates for a sweet Valentine gift! #MyTuesdayValentine

We made some chocolates in a heart-shaped mold and added them to a cellophane bag once they were set. Then we tied the bag closed with a red ribbon and I let my daughter decorate the chocolates and the gift bag with the stickers to make the gift her own.

Combine American Greetings cards with a DIY Valentine Box of Chocolates for a sweet Valentine gift! #MyTuesdayValentine

The American Greeting card she chose to give to her teacher fits her so well with an adorable Valentine knock-knock joke on the inside!
