The pool is officially open and the kids were THRILLED to jump in after school on Friday. We're still working on the deck, but the water is already in the low 80's so we couldn't keep them out any longer. Even I went for a swim! New on the Blog: --> My Favorite Farmhouse Paint Colors Over the last 15 years, I've grown to love painting... simply because it's such a quick and frugal way to update any space in our home. In my experience, a fresh coat of paint and rearranging the furniture does wonders (with almost no out-of-pocket expense!) You'll find all my favorite paint colors, and some fun home project pictures, in this week's post. From The Archives: Throughout the summer months, I plan to share a few relevant archived posts at the end of each email. SIMPLE SUMMER RECIPES: Got a hankering for ice cream? Try this ridiculously easy, yet very fancy ice cream dessert or, channel your inner Laura Ingalls Wilder and make your own ice cream from scratch (the kids will love it)! EASY GARDEN TIP: Looking for a simple, frugal, non-toxic way to prevent weeds in your vegetable garden? Try the cardboard box method Dave and I successfully used a few years ago. FRUGAL FAMILY FUN: Are your kids (or grandkids) bored yet? These are some of our favorite summer fun ideas -- mainly geared towards younger kids. Have a great week! ~ Andrea |
