I absolutely love the Super Bowl. It is the one football game I watch a year, and I have so much fun every year cozying up with my nachos or chili and watching all the commercials while trying to follow the game as best as I can. What’s not to love?!
A few years ago, Haley and I were studying abroad in London. When the Super Bowl came around, we were excited that the college Haley was studying at was hosting a Super Bowl event where you could come and drink cider and eat nachos!
We showed up at the Super Bowl party, got our cider and our nachos, and found a good seat. We cheers’d at kick off, and watched the first part of the game. We patiently sat excitingly waiting to see what types of commercials they would show this year. It took us until halftime to realize that they weren’t playing any commercials at all… I don’t know why I hadn’t thought about it before, but they wouldn’t be streaming the same commercials in London even if they could stream the game. It was very disappointing since the commercials are half the fun!
When the Super Bowl rolled around the next year, we were determined to make it a good one. So we went online and found Super Bowl bingo cards. Have you guys ever played? It’s so much fun! This year we decided to make our own and that’s what we have for you here. I made some awesome printable bingo cards if I do say so myself, so if you haven’t played, you will now! Each square on the bingo cards is a company or product that there may be a commercial for. When that commercial plays, you get to put a chip (or a piece of popcorn or chocolate) on that square. If you have a small group, give everyone two boards for twice the fun. You’ll soon find yourself running up to get more food during the game and rushing back during the commercials so you don’t miss any… you snooze you lose — and don’t expect your friends to tell you which commercials played while you were gone!
Go print these Super Bowl 50 commercial bingo boards out, cut them out, grab something to use as bingo chips like scrap paper, popcorn, M&Ms, whatever you have, and get ready to play! Don’t forget the Free space!

Just over a week ago I was on vacation… sitting by a warm fire, relaxing in front of the tv with a warm cup of tea. And now is the first week back at work and it’s just as rough as I thought it would be. I did have one thing to look forward to: the new season of The Bachelor. With my friends at work, we pick 
They are cinnamony and appley and soft. I made them at home and my mom was dipping them in toffee sauce, which was delicious! So feel free to add toffee to these if you want. Also, I rolled these cookies in cinnamon and white sugar before baking since I didn’t have raw sugar on hand, but if you want to make them
