Creating a Stylized Outdoor Space – Part 2 #Digin
May 15, 2013 4 Comments
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Home Depot.
It’s time to #digin to part 2 of our series on Creating a Stylized Outdoor Space! This week we will be talking about the things that people should take into account when determining what furniture best fits their lifestyle, and we will talk about how and why different sets work better in different outdoor living spaces.
When buying outdoor furniture, there’s a lot to think about. Obviously you should think about what kind of space you have. Is the furniture for a deck? A gazebo? The yard? You should also think about what kind of environment the furniture will be in. Will it be exposed to rain or covered? What kind of sun exposure will it have?And of course, you want to think about what you will be using the space for. [Read more…]

As we all get ready to work out in the yard for the spring and summer seasons, I am happy to partner with Pennington Smart Seed to bring you some lawn maintenance tips. A few years ago we had some grass seed sown in our yard, and it didn’t come in quite as nicely as we would have liked. Not to mention, we still had a ton of weeds! Fortunately we’ve been introduced to Pennington Smart Seed and have been provided with all the information we need to get the job done right this time! [Read more…]

As spring is under way and summer is right around the the corner, it got me to thinking about cool refreshments. And what could be more refreshing than a nice, cool smoothie? And they’re generally pretty healthy too, right? So with all this in mind, I decided to collect 12 Smooth Recipes for you. And I think you’ll find a lot of variety here. These definitely go beyond the usual strawberry smoothie or strawberry banana smoothie. (Not that those aren’t great!) Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

Caramel Drizzle Freezer Pie
July 29, 2012 18 Comments
I’m so excited to share this week’s recipe with you! I saw this Caramel Drizzle Freezer Pie on Pinterest a few weeks ago, and I could hardly wait to make it! The recipe comes from All Recipes, a great source for any cook or baker, and I just know you’re going to love it!
This is the perfect pie for summer time because it’s very sweet and it’s also served cold. But I, for one, think it is the perfect pie for any time of year. I’m actually looking quite forward to making it for the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. And as if the taste of this pie wasn’t a good enough reason to make it, it’s also super easy to make, and the recipe yields 2 pies, so it’s perfect for parties and pot lucks.
Homemade Shaved Ice & My New NINJA
July 24, 2012 10 Comments
One of my favorite things about summer is that I get to have shaved ice and snow cones, but sometimes it’s hard to find a place to buy them. And plus, when you love frozen treats the way I do, I hate that I can only get them in the summer. (Seriously you are reading the blog of someone who’s bought an ICEE when it’s snowing outside! And I confess, I’ve also bought an ICEE and a milkshake at the same time. Yeah, I’m a little crazy!)
So enter the Ninja Kitchen System 1100
I’ve wanted the Ninja ever since I first saw it on tv, and finally I broke down a couple of weeks ago and ordered it off of Amazon. [Read more…]
Orange Dream Shake
July 17, 2012 3 Comments
Who doesn’t love orange dreamsicles and push-up pops? I know I love them, especially in the summer time! A few years ago, I got hooked on Sonic’s Orange Cream Slush. And since then, I’ve seen orange milkshakes popping up everywhere! But it’s much more affordable and convenient to make them at home, and it’s also super easy with this recipe!
Oh, and by the way, I also posted a similar recipe last summer. It involves a few more ingredients, but is equally good, and if you love orange, it’s definitely worth a look! Hope you enjoy!
