Summer time is here!  Yay!  I love summer…the freedom, sleeping in & getting to spend LOTS of time together but at the same time I want it to be a productive summer, too.  Each summer we make a summer schedule.  We have park day, water day, library day & so on.  We also have “summer school” in the afternoon for the older kiddos.  I usually hunt online for ideas or buy expensive workbooks but this year LeapFrog is making it easy with their FREE Summer Camp! 
My 5 year & almost 3 year old will be participating!

Nettie Made {giveaway}

Today I’d love to introduce you to Nettie from Nettie Made.

So here she is to tell YOU a little bit about herself. 
Take it away, Nettie!

I am inspired by natural colors. 
Simple things like the shades of red
in a sliced open strawberry can spark my imagination. 
I am also a big fan of art deco and mid century modern art. 
The recent cocktail craze is fantastic,
and inspired my "Eat Drink and be Merry" recipe cards -
a fun hostess gift for a cocktail party! 
I do find it hard to limit myself to one art form.
I want to try and do everything! 
But ceramics and beading
are a few of my favorite things.

Here are a few things that you’ll find in her etsy shop!
She carries a wide variety of handmade goodies!

you’ll want to check out our Pinspired & Rewired link party {HERE}
{huge prizes from Groopdealz are up for grabs for the top 3 projects}.

Welcome to {wow me} wednesday!

So glad YOU are here!

It’s been ONE year since my first link party…crazy!
I guess I should of planned some kind of celebration!
Buuuut it has been crazy busy around here.
My kiddos last day of school was this past Friday!
{We only had 1 snow day this past year, so they got out super early!  Yay!}

Also, thanks to Mother Nature, we have about a bazillion peaches on our peach tree!
{Usually we have a late frost & it kills our peach blossoms but not this year. Yay!}
So yesterday {our first day of summer vacation} we made lots of peach jam,
& later we had {peach & blueberry} cobbler with ice cream for dessert.  Yum!
So to celebrate the big one year mark….how about I share a quick recipe?

{blast from the past} pencil holder ~ teacher gift idea

Need an easy & cute {annnd cheap!} idea for a teacher gift?

 

 

Well, here is a blast from the past!
I shared this cute & easy pencil holder last year
when my blog was brand spanking new,
so I’m not sure many of you saw it. 

The Pass It On Project

Have you heard of The Pass It On Project?
If not, you can read more about {HERE}.

Well, my good friend Erin from How to Nest for Less emailed me a couple of weeks ago & asked me if I wanted to participate…of course, I said YES!!!  So the short & sweet version of The Pass It On Project is that you receive TWO handmade gifts from a fellow blogger~  one to keep & one to pass along.  Then you make 4 gifts & then chose 2 different bloggers to give them to.  They keep one & pass along the other, choose 2 more bloggers to participate & so on!  So not only do you receive a gift you also get to give someone a gift which to me is even more fun!

When my box from Erin arrived in the mail I was so excited!
I LOVE getting packages in the mail!  Don’t you? 
Annnd it’s especially exciting when it comes in such a cute package!

crafty, pretty &/or involves flowers & gardening!

Macy’s Heart of Haiti {Mother’s Day gift idea}

 
This Mother's Day, I'm working with Clever Girls in support of Macy's Heart of Haiti to shine a light on the "trade, not aid" program, which provides sustainable income to Haitian artisans struggling to rebuild their lives and support their families after the 2010 earthquake.
