Summer lovin' and melon pops

One benefit of summer was that each day we had more light to read by. ~Jeannette Walls, The Glass Castle

Oh, summer lovin'...
We're enjoying having you around.
We've been busy attending outdoor concerts,
puppet shows at the library, and 
little ones in the swimming pool. - We're having such a lovely time...










MELON POPS

It's been hot, and so I've been enjoying my time in the kitchen preparing summer drinks and refreshing popsicles.  

Recently, I came across a recipe for melon pops. When I was younger, my mother would purchase these delicious Korean melon pops. I was thrilled when I came across this recipe on http://www.thesquishymonster.com/. I swear these melon pops are delicious and so easy to make.





I hope you all are enjoying your summer! 
Welcome new readers! I'm so happy to have you all here.

    Hi Stephanie, it looks like you're having a very nice summer. I love the look of your melon pops! Yum. I was wondering, have you taken your daughter to the Denver Museum of Science's Discovery Zone exhibit? We were up there last week and my kids adored it. They have a huge water-play area that she would probably enjoy. Hope you're having a good week.

      Jennifer, thank you! You're so sweet. And yes, we have visited the Denver Museum a few times. Isn't it great?! We love it there. She absolutely loves spending her time in there and we enjoy it as well. I hope your kids had a blast while visiting. You know, we haven't gone since they opened the water play area.--How fun! We need to go back very soon. Thanks for letting me know. Have a wonderful week!

    Oh my gosh so fun! We have that same water toy at our Montessori school! Once we finish moving I know we will be spending more time outdoors.

Easy Floral Decoupage Idea for Faux Pumpkin Display

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to share a simple and easy floral pumpkin design you can create quickly. Today, we will make a faux floral pumpkin display using decoupage and a few additional designs. I'm reusing a foam pumpkin that I bought at Dollar Tree. If you’re ready, let’s begin creating an easy floral decoupage faux pumpkin display! Quick video tutorial **Materials needed:** - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - Floral napkin - Faux pearls - Faux flowers - Craft knife - Scissors - Mod Podge Carefully remove the top of your pumpkin. I used my craft knife to go around the top section, creating a hole at the top. Using a paintbrush, apply acrylic paint to the pumpkin. I chose to paint mine black. Next, use scissors to cut out a few flowers from your napkin. Make sure to remove the second layer of the napkin before cutting out the designs.   Once you have your floral designs cut out, use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge to the pumpkin. While the Mod Podge is wet, add the floral napkin c...

DIY Floral Wooden Jack‑O’‑Lanterns (Easy Fall Decor)

I’ve been having so much fun creating fall projects this year. These floral wooden jack‑o’‑lanterns  started as simple wooden pumpkins, but with a few pretty transfers and some soft paint colors, they turned into the sweetest little fall accents. I love how the florals give them a cozy, cottage‑style feel while still keeping that classic jack‑o’‑lantern charm. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and such a cute way to add a warm autumn touch to your home. Watch the video tutorial Materials Wooden pumpkin cutouts Floral transfers Acrylic paint (your chosen colors) Gold acrylic paint Green acrylic paint Mini dowels Hot glue gun + glue sticks Small wooden stands Brown acrylic paint Paintbrushes   Add the floral transfers I started by placing my floral transfers onto each wooden pumpkin, just arranging them until they felt right. Once they were where I wanted them, I used a little rubbing tool to press them down and transfer the design onto the wood. Take your time with this...

The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 156

Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #156! I'm so happy you're here! This gathering is all about sharing what brings us joy.  Bring your delicious recipes, fun family moments, cozy crafts, and home projects—basically, everything wonderful you've been working on. Happy Friday! How was your week? I hope you’re doing well.  This week, we finally went to court about the damage to our fence. Honestly, no one likes to go to court, and we would have preferred to resolve this issue privately with the individual involved. He didn't cooperate, which ultimately led us to take him to court. We hope to finally move on from this situation. I can't wait to share the lovely featured posts with you all.  **Update** Looks like Blogger has fixed the comment section. Yay! Blogger is having some issues with commenting. It shows "publishing..." when the button is clicked and stays there for some time. As always, thank you all for joining! ⭐Congratulations to our fe...

This week has been quite busy, and we're all ready to relax this weekend. We’ve learned a lesson we've encountered before: no matter how kind or justified you believe you are, there will always be people who remind you it doesn’t matter.  I'm sharing this as we continue to deal with the aftermath of someone colliding with our fence.   I hope for better days ahead.  Now, let’s move on to the party! We have some wonderful posts to share. A big thank you to each and every one of you who joins us for this party each week; please know that you are appreciated! 🌟🌟🌟Congratulations to our featured bloggers 🌟🌟🌟 Amy's Creative Pursuits shared her experience at the World Snow Sculpture Festival in Stillwater, Minnesota.
