I went to Trader Joe’s a while back and I got a bottle of lemon curd and I could not wait to make something with it…and this is what I came up with!
These are so yummy and refreshing with the lemon filling! The cake is a moist heavy batter, just the way I love it!
I saw this a few days ago and thought that it was such a cute idea! You can make your own personal coloring pages! They are so fun and I love this concept, what child does not love to color… and then to be able to color a picture of them self is even better!
Today I decided that I would just share a few fun ideas from past posts, to make your summer just a little bit more patriotic. With the 4th of July coming up, maybe you could use one or two of these ideas. Just click on the link below each picture for step-by-step directions or recipes.
This first idea, to help with your decorating needs, are these fun lollies. They are easy to make and they are quite stunning! I made mine into a garland and you can learn how to make your own too:
If you need a really yummy, refreshing drink for your outdoor parties this summer, you will want to try this beautiful Cherry Limeade drink! It tastes as good as it looks!
Next I will show you some fun games and ideas for your next summer party! The kids of all ages loved these games, so get a jump start and get the supplies to make your own, along with fun prizes!
This recipe is perfect for snacking, but I must warn you that it can be very addicting! With the sweet and salty taste, you won’t be able to eat just one handful! It is a combination of chocolatey, sweet, salty, peanut butter, and marshmellowy bliss! This is fun to package up in individual cups or bags and looks so pretty! There is also a story behind the name of this treat!
And last, but not least, here is a fun printable for you to use! We all know how precious our freedom is, so let’s let it RING! You can make it into a faux canvas block, like I did here, or you can just print it and frame it. There is the tan background or a white version.
So that is my patriotic round-up. I hope that there is one or two ideas that you can use for your summer fun!

I have a fun, quick idea for you for this Memorial Day weekend. If you are doing a BBQ or picnic, here is a simple, yet elegant way to decorate your tables!
I have a potting table down on my back patio and I love it! But we had a big maple tree that died and we had to cut it out and the potting table was right in front of this tree, so we had to move it out of the way to cut the tree down. This is what my poor table looked like when I pulled it out of the way:

I have a great little project for all of you out there that would like to try your hand at gardening but are not quite sure where to start. An herb container garden is a great place to start! It is small in size, but yet it can yield a large amount of herbs. It is also very pretty to look at and can be part of your yard decor.
So does anyone want to make a fun herb garden? Continue reading
I am getting anxious to start planting all of my flower pots. It is still a bit too early here in northern Utah, but I am making my list of the kinds of flowers that I want to get. I will go and buy them soon so I can get what I want, but I will have to keep them in the garage for a couple more weeks. I will probably plant my pots and it is usually around Mother’s Day when you can start putting them out.
I posted this last year about how to plant your pots; but felt like it was a good tutorial so I am reposting it here today.
There are three different kinds of plants that you need to plant a beautiful pot: you need thrillers, fillers and spillers.
My good friend, Susan, works at a nursery and a few years ago she taught a class on how to plant your flower pots. I usually plant about 14-15 pots and baskets every year! I love them, but I am nuts because I have to hand water most of them. Crazy, I know.
