New on the Blog: Easy 7-Layer Chip Dip Our Peonies are finally blooming so we could put together a bunch of simple bouquets for our teachers last week -- just in time for the last day of school TODAY!! We included mini iris, chives, nepeta, and salvia for a purple/pink combo that turned out really well. Simple Food. One of my favorite things about summer break is snacks by the pool. I regularly serve hearty afternoon snacks, allowing us to push back dinner by at least an hour. This week's recipe is one of my favorite make-ahead snacks and side dishes. It's fairly nutritious, very filling, and pairs well with chips, crackers, pretzels, tortillas, raw veggies, tortillas, etc. Add it to your recipe rotation SOON! Get my recipe --> Easy 7-layer dip. Organized Home. Washing windows is not my favorite chore... but since I love looking out clean windows, I force myself to wash them somewhat regularly (I'm washing a few every day this week!)

I haven't decided if I'm going to take extra time offline during the summer months or not. Right now, I'm just looking forward to a new routine, a slower pace to our days, and 10 weeks to enjoy a bunch of family time before next school year starts up again! |
