  3. Lovely ideas, Stephanie. My mom always loved recipe books, and family recipe books especially. She loved cooking and hosting, and she once sent all the grandkids a survey of their favorite foods so that when we all got together that summer, she made sure she was making things they loved. The homemade handsoap is a fun idea, too--I've never done that before! Handmade really is something special. Thank you for sharing this post at the Will Blog for Comments #34 linkup for me and for my readers to enjoy. Have a great week & we'll see you next week at #35.

If you love finding new DIY ideas and learning from other bloggers, you’re in the perfect spot! We just picked up our youngest daughter from summer camp yesterday.

Here in Colorado, like many other places, we are battling wildfires. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected, including families, wildlife, firefighters, and others who have been working so hard to deal with these fires. It's been dry and windy, and we could honestly use some moisture. Wishing you all a ...
