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.

Colorful Summer Flower: Recycled Paper Towel DIY

  Looking to bring a little sunshine into your space without visiting the craft store? This whimsical summer flower decoration makes great use of what you already have—think beads, pom poms, a humble paper towel tube, and a splash of acrylic paint. Bonus: it’s the perfect way to reuse an old frame and welcome summer in style! What You’ll Need: 1 paper towel tube (emptied, of course!) Acrylic paint (I chose a deeper pink) Craft pom poms (yellow makes a great center!) Assorted beads (medium for the stem, smaller for embellishing the petals) Foam letters (for your summer message) A reused frame (square or any shape of your choice) Scissors Hot glue gun Creating your summer flower decoration Cut the Tube and Shape the Petals :  Start by cutting the paper towel tube into four evenly-sized sections. Each section will serve as a petal. You should be left with four rings. Next, flatten each ring, then gently reshape it to form soft ovals. These will mimic delicate flower...

DIY Upcycled Peanut Jars

Transform your old peanut jars into stylish, functional containers with these creative and easy DIY upcycling ideas. Learn how to repurpose your peanut jars and give them a new life with practical and decorative uses.   Materials needed: Two  empty peanut containers Two sheets of crafting paper tape scissors Start  by removing the old label on your peanut containers  Next, you'll want to wrap your crafting paper around your container.  If you find that it does not completely cover the container, cut out a single strip to use later. I found it easier to wrap my containers with my craft paper and make the marks I needed before cutting them to size.  Tape your crafting paper into the container and then make necessary cuts to the paper using your scissors. Once this is done, take the last piece of crafting paper that you cut out earlier and place it over the spot that you were unable to cover. Take some clear tape and apply it to the contai...
