Having Fun With Summer Crafts and Featured Summertime Art

Hello Everyone and Happy Almost Summer! Here in the Pacific NW we're still having cooler than normal temps. I know that in the next several days however that things will probably start to warm up. Many of you are already having loads of hot weather and are probably looking for ways to keep the kiddies entertained now that school is out. I've gathered a few fun crafts that you can do with them and they shouldn't cost very much at all!

Coloring on Hot Rocks

I found the hot rocks coloring idea at the Eighteen25 Blog with their feature of this fun summer craft. Hop over and check it out! I don't know why I hadn't thought of this very simple and creative idea myself.

Googly Eyed Snake Creatures

If you're into recycling with your craft supplies, this Googly Eyes Snake Creatures project will definitely keep you and your kiddies entertained. There are lots of kiddie craft projects on the Eighteen25 blog so definitely check them out if you need inspiration.

And now, our featured summer fun artistic designs!

Cheap Summer Treats

I am the resident cheap girl on this blog and this week I would like to tell you where and when to get your cheap summer treats. There are a few places and restaurants offering deals this summer, but do they all stack up to each? I love the dollar drinks at Taco Bell, but they are only available for that price from 2-5 pm each day. My favorite is the Ice Pink Lemonade is my favorite, but they have five or six different drinks to choose from.

Mcdonalds and Burger King both have 50 cent soft serve cones this summer, after sampling the one at Burger King I must say they both taste pretty much the same. I don't actually frequent Mcdonalds, because the grease they use makes me ill and lets just leave it at that. The cone I received at Burger King appeared to be twice the size as the one on the mcdonald's adds and would be well worth a dollar or more.

Taco Bell always has good deals and not just in the summertime, when I want a cheap meal that won't add too much to my bottom line. They have meals for 2.39, consist of a drink, your choice of four different tacos and a bag of chips. If you get the number three and a diet soda, it only has 450 calories.

Treats at home are also great and good way to save money. We don't eat chips at home, we make popcorn with our Presto Maker and use coconut oil and sea salt to make it healthier. You can also make your own chips in the microwave, using a good slicer, spray oil and your own blend of spices. You place your sliced and sprayed chips on cooking parchment paper and cook them for 4 to 5 minutes or until slightly brown and crispy.

This Week

This Week
My little one got a second birthday we celebrated her birthday on Saturday but on her real birthday I had some cake mix I had forgot to bake for my own birthday so we baked a cake together. Grandama sent tutus to her and her sister. They were supposed to go in the last package but ended up as an extra gift. It was a comfortable day.
Sometimes simple things can add great joy. The joy of love, the joy of home.
