Summer Blog Hop

It’s just another day of our summer blog hop! Summer always flies by – I can’t believe we are already halfway through June. Ash and I have been busy with a million things – from a few room makeovers to building a rolling workbench for the garage to just keeping up with the day-to-day. We haven’t even gotten a chance to sign up for our local CSA. That’s on tomorrow’s agenda 🙂

Speaking of crop shares, is there anything better than fresh summer fruit?! Today, Jen at JENerally Informed is sharing her easy peach cobbler recipe that you can cook at home or while camping. Pretty cool, right?!

It’s so simple that you don’t even need to mix it! Just pour and cook. Now that’s my kind of recipe 🙂Here are some fun facts about Jen:

What would you do if you had an extra 30 minutes in a day? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. If I felt industrious, I might go raid the kids’ secret candy stash to find something to eat while I am perusing Facebook for those 30 minutes.

If money was no object, what would you do all day? Probably exactly what I am doing right now, but I definitely would find tons of ways to give to those who are in need. Philanthropy would be a pretty sweet pursuit.

Check out Jen’s post on how to make easy peach cobbler!

Aren’t summer Mondays the best? Especially because all summer long we are bringing you awesome posts every Monday and Thursday as part of our Summer Blog Hop. We have tons of DIY inspiration coming!

Today, Victoria at Dazzled While Frazzled is sharing how to make a patriotic banner from paper bags and napkins. The banner turned out so cute – complete with patriotic bows. I love when DIY projects use items for something other than their intended use.

So, if you have leftover napkins from your Memorial Day party, you can most definitely use them to make a 4th of July banner. If not, lots of craft stores have their patriotic things on sale – and the dollar store is my favorite place to find crafty goodies.

Not only is this banner perfect for 4th of July parties, it also looks gorgeous on the mantel. It’s a great craft for kids to help with too 🙂

Here are some fun facts about Victoria:

What was the last movie, TV show or book that made you cry or tear up? Probably the last episode of This Is Us.

If you were a super-hero, what powers would you have? Pausing time so I could either get 5 minutes of peace and quiet, or an extra few minutes to get things loaded in the car and not always be running so late.

Check out Victoria’s post on how to make this patriotic banner!

If you missed any of our Summer Blog Hop posts, they are listed below! Remember to come back on Thursday for more DIY inspiration.

This week marked the start of our Summer Blog Hop! Ash and I are collaborating with 11 talented DIY bloggers to bring you awesome inspiration all summer long. Every Monday and Thursday, we will be featuring awesome DIY posts, and today is no exception!

Tammy from Hey Fitzy is sharing her recipe for healthy, crunchy granola. The best part? It’s free of natural flavors and unhealthy ingredients.

Just like my family, Tammy is a label-reader, so I LOVE recipes like this. I’m not exaggerating when I say we eat tons of fruit and veggies (I mean, my birthday cake was literally a fruit cake). So it’s nice to have a healthy recipe that adds a little crunch. Doesn’t it look amazing?!

Here are some fun facts about Tammy:

If your life was turned into a movie, what celebrity would you want to play you?  Reese Witherspoon. Probably my favorite actress of all time. Plus…wouldn’t it be fun to meet her!

If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Chocolate covered strawberries. No…not really a meal but they would be if someone let me.

Time seems to just be flying by around here. I can’t believe it’s already June! Today kicks off the beginning of the 2017 Summer Blog Hop.

You see, Ash and I are collaborating with 11 other awesome bloggers this summer to bring you all kinds of fun inspiration – DIYs, crafts, kids activities, and printables. Twice a week, for the whole summer, we will be sharing these awesome posts with you 🙂

Today we have an awesome post for you –  Leslie from the blog From Playdates to Parties is sharing her spectacular summer party printables! She created 5 sets of cool summer printables, that include pennant banners!

They are perfect for parties, picnics, or summer decorations. I love the color schemes of her summer party printables – they are are so bright and cheery, perfectly encapsulating the feeling of summer.

And, my favorite is her 4th of July printables – I’ll be printing these for my mantel this summer 🙂

Here are some fun facts about Leslie:

If you could hire someone to help you, would it be with cleaning, cooking, or yard work?  So, we have a cleaning service that comes every two weeks, but I’d love to just have someone who would come and do all the picking up, cleaning, and laundry. That just sounds like heaven!

What celebrity would you like to meet at Starbucks for a cup of coffee? Steve Martin. There’s nothing better than someone who can make you laugh. And he has the special ability to be funny that isn’t always raunchy or hurtful. That’s a rarity these days.

To view these awesome summer printables, check out her post here!
