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!

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!)

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 ...

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...
