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!

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...

The first one shows one of our lovely hummingbirds relaxing on the swing near the feeder. I love watching them from our dining room window. In the second photo, we had another visitor at the feeder, and the sunlight shining through the window that evening was absolutely beautiful. I'd say this week was a nice one.
