Easy Summer Picnic Dinner (My Guest Post at Curly Crafty Mom)

written by Lauren

Great ideas on what to serve during a summer picnic meal

Summer is all about traveling to new places and spending time with friends. So today, I am hopping over to Curly Crafty Mom, which is my blogging friend, Carrie's blog! Today I am sharing all about a simple kind of meal that I like to prepare for my family in the summer. Picnic Dinners! Picnic dinners or meals require very little fuss, no cooking, and are a lot of fun.  Picnic dinners are the most enjoyable outside, but you could even spread a blanket indoors and watch a movie on the DVR during your picnic. Check out my post on Carrie's blog (Curly Crafty Mom) for a list of Continue reading...

Change-It-Up Summer Wreath

written by Lauren

chnage-it-up seasonal summer burlap wreath with sunflowers

I adore crafting wreaths. Unfortunately, though, my handmade wreaths are stacking up in my storage area! So, for my summer wreath, I decided to create a non-permanent wreath that can easily be changed out as the seasons change – so there’s no need to create an entirely new wreath when I want a new look! I got the idea for my summer wreath from Celeste of Decor by the Seashore. Using a wreath form and floral wire, she created a wreath that she can modify as the seasons change. I think her idea is genius! (Check out her blog for her tutorial how to create her interchangeable Continue reading...

Southwestern Casserole & Easy After-Dinner Clean Up #ScrubCloth

written by Lauren

Cleaning up after my delicious Southwestern rice and bean casserole is easy with Scotch-Brite Scrubbing Dish Cloths

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #ScrubCloth #CollectiveBias My family and I adore foods with Southwestern flavors -- especially cilantro! So the other day, I baked my family a tasty Southwestern rice and bean casserole with avocado, beans, cilantro ... and lots of cheese! But there's one problem with this casserole -- it can make for a difficult cleanup after dinner, since the cheese tends to stick to the casserole dish! I often end up soaking the dish and then still have to scrub like mad to get it clean! Thankfully, Continue reading...

Four Easy Wooden Crate Projects

written by Lauren

Easy DIY projects with wood crates -- wood crates are inexpensive and very versatile in the home

Thanks to Thompson’s Waterseal Waterproofing Stain for sponsoring this post by providing the waterproof stain used on my new bench and crate table. All opinions expressed in this post are 100% my own. I've been obsessed with wood crates recently. They are sturdy, inexpensive, and can serve multiple purposes in the home. I started out by using wood crates to create much needed shelving in a coat-closet-turned pantry. I've discovered that by simply screwing a few crates together with some wood screws and a screwdriver, I could put together functional and really sturdy shelving in a Continue reading...

Coca-Cola Bottle Summer Blooms

written by Lauren

Coca-Cola bottles make really cute and sweet bud vases for summer blooms

Happy Summer! I can't believe that summer is already here! A few summers ago, I planted beautiful perennial gardens along the south and east sides of my house. There I planted a wildflower mix, roses and lots of lilies. I really enjoy lilies! The photo below shows the yellow roses that bloom in my home's front garden bed. The roses bloom throughout the summer -- that is, if I remember to water them frequently!   I often also plant sunflowers in my home's southern garden. Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers! Throughout the summer my garden produces lots of Continue reading...
