Summer.-You were good to us.

Summer,

You have definitely treated us well.

We enjoyed our time doing so much together.

Painting, water play, brewing sweet tea, building tents, bubble blowing, chalk doodles.

cooking together, summer nights out on the porch, and lots of hugs and sweet kisses.

We'll cherish these moments.

I'm truly happiest at home with my family.

Thank you, summer. -You've been so good to us!

Tomorrow our oldest starts 1st grade.

We're so proud of all the hard work she's always doing.

She's eager to learn more, and she will be taking on some 2nd-grade work as well.

We're so happy to see her grow and learn so much more.

We'll continue to enjoy the upcoming weeks of summer and

make even more memories. It's been an awesome break!

Until next time, so long summer break.

Succulent Centerpiece using Dollar Tree Items

Looking to add some greenery to your space? Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to create a quick and simple succulent display using a round baking pan from Dollar Tree. I completed this craft a while ago, but forgot to share it with you. It's an easy project, and all the materials—except for the spray paint—were purchased at Dollar Tree.

I used a heating tool to speed up the drying process, but if you prefer, you can let it air dry, which m...
