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.

DIY Tea Tin Planter for Sweet Mint

Today’s tiny DIY win: turning an empty lemon‑ginger tea tin into a planter for a sweet mint plant that needed some love. I cleaned the tin, added drainage, and nestled the mint inside. It instantly brightened up the space — the colors on the tin and the fresh green leaves look so sweet together. I love giving everyday items a second life, especially when they end up this cute. Quick Video Tutorial  I began this little project by cleaning out an empty metal tea container that I had saved. It still held a soft scent of lemon and ginger, and I loved the idea of giving it a second life. Once I washed and dried it, the container felt ready for a new purpose.   Next, I used a finishing nail and a hammer to create a few drainage holes in the bottom of the tin. Since metal containers don’t have natural drainage, this step helps keep the roots healthy and prevents the soil from becoming soggy. Having prepared the container, I carefully removed the sweet mint from its original pot. The ...

If you love finding new DIY ideas and learning from other bloggers, you’re in the perfect spot! Happy Friday! I hope you are all doing well. This week was a little rough. It started with my husband having a cough, sore throat, sneezing, and whole-body aches. Of course, that was passed on to the rest of us, but we have been so fortunate to just have a sore throat. This calls for plenty of hydration, vitamin C, and occasional medication. I hope you all had a nice week. Just yesterday, the weather reached 102 degrees! It definitely was hot out. Now, onto the party, we have some wonderful featured posts to share this week. Thank you to everyone who joined last week, and if you are new here, welcome! We're so gl...
