Kick Off to Summer



I hope you had a Happy Memorial Day! 

As you may have noticed, there was not a Dare to Share party this past Friday. I did not mention it at the last party, but I have been dealing with a pretty strong respiratory virus for the last two weeks. (yes, I caught it from one of the kids at work)  It started out as a normal cold the first week, and then last week it turned into something more. I have been congested and coughing for several days. I have been medicated, but it did not help that much.  During my time off work, I was resting a lot and not on my computer during that time. Since I was not using my computer, it was not until last night (Monday) that I wondered to myself if I posted the party this weekend.  When I am out of my routine, I find that things occasionally slip my mind like the party did this weekend.   I am finally starting to feel better, and this week will hopefully find things back to normal.  

Since it is almost June, I thought I would share what I will be up to in the next few weeks.   We will be attending a wedding, a celebrity softball game, and a concert.  June is turning out to be a very busy month, not only will we be getting ready for another outdoor market, but I am also planning a baby shower for my bonus daughter that will be in early July. 



I created this summer bucket list for my Etsy Shop a year or two ago.  I just printed out a new copy to fill out this summer. It is a lot of fun to see how many fun things you did over the summer months.  



Our June market is going to be beach themed.  I originally made these beach party marshmallow pops for my daughter's Beach Bash Birthday Party  many years ago.  It was one of her favorite parties, and fun was had by all. Hopefully we will have much better weather for the next market.  



Another memorable treat I made for her beach bash birthday were these crabby chicken sandwiches.  They were not that hard to make, and a huge hit with the kids.  They could make a great addition to your summer party.  

What are your summer plans this year?

Homemade Frozen Treats for Summer - Features of the Day


With Memorial Day just a few days away, and having several days in the 80s I thought it would be the perfect time to feature some delicious homemade frozen treats.  



 These Blueberry Pear Ice Pops by Miranda of Lemons and Laughs, are healthy and full of fruit. 


Use those fresh in season strawberries to make Strawberry Sorbef without an ice cream maker like Brandie of Home Cooking Memories.



Love hot chocolate in the winter?  Turn it into Frozen Hot Chocolate like Jenn of Clean & Scentsible.



For an adult treat you might want to try this Sangria Popsicles by Carly of Lipgloss and Crayons. She shares recipes for several different flavors.  

Want to see a few more recipes for frozen treats.  Stop over and see Bubble Gum Frozen Yogurt and the Ultimate Ice Cream Float by Gina of Kleinworth & Co.
