SUMMER'S SIZZLIN'
WITH
FUN IN THE SUN...


Picture
Summer is wrapping up with school starting in mid-August, so making the most of these next couple of weeks is important for families.  Stop to enjoy the beauty of summer & relax a bit with your family before diving into the school frenzy!

​​DECORATING FOR SUMMER FUN...


​Getting school supplies, wardrobes, & electronics needed for school can all be expensive.  Decorating doesn't have to be expensive if you re-purpose items that you already have @ home.  

Tired of gold, paint it silver or copper!  You can change the whole look of a room by painting items in similar colors without having to purchase anything new, except a little paint. Keep in mind the type of paint being used should be for the type of material being painted & whether the item will be inside/outside.

If you are tired of the old & want to revamp your style completely, sell the old to help fund the new purchases.  I recently helped a couple sort through, organize, & price items for a moving sale to maximize space in their new home.  

​ORGANIZING FOR SUMMER FUN...


Pack summer floaties & water gear in plastic totes with labels for easy toss & go trips; no more fussing or searching for items @ the last minute... that takes forever & leaves you regretting the trip before you even head out the door.  Several stores put all of their summer storage & party supplies on sale around the middle to late summer, so this is a great time to organize those summer time toys!

​FUN SUMMER ART...


Finger painting is always a kid favorite, but some adults love it too!  Join the kids in a little fun creating unique pieces that can be made into a collage.  This way you can quickly change out the pictures every now & then to keep it fresh & new.

SUMMER'S SIZZLIN' & GRILLIN' WITH GOOD EATS...

S'mores are a great way to utilize the coals that still burn hot after the meat & veggies are off the grill & eaten!

The ooey-gooey mess of a s'more can't be beat.  This time we tried two different marshmallows than the regular flavor marshmallows. Caramel & Vanilla Swirled, as well as, Chocolate & Vanilla Layered.
Picture
We added to our s'mores two different chocolate bars: milk chocolate with peanuts & dark chocolate.

Gather your ingredients & start roastin'...

Add your chocolate bars to the graham crackers...

Add your roasted/burnt marshmallow, then top it with the other 1/2 of the cracker & enjoy!
