1. The temperatures in Central Virginia are out of this world hot…same with you? My kids are getting a little stir-crazy from staying in the house most days, so I’m thinking to change it up a little by introducing Giant Ice Cube Awesomeness!
2. Speaking of beating the heat, check out this list of 11 Ways to Survive the Summer While Pregnant. I’m really liking the idea of carrying a spritz bottle around!
3. A really cute DIY idea: Shadow Box Jewelry Holder from the ever-creative Martha. I like that it helps with clutter control as well as a way to actually see all the pieces you own!
4. Did you read Cori’s post on thoughts on becoming a mother for the 4th time? I couldn’t have said it better myself. My favorite part: “So now, when I lay in bed at night and feel this 4th baby moving around inside of me, I know how much more having another child means than just welcoming a new baby girl. It means another spirit, with a will, a personality, and a unique potential to leave her mark on the world. And I don’t feel anything like that harried mother I pictured all those years ago. I feel grateful.“
5. Let’s talk food. This summer we are on a mission to eat as simply we as we can. I ran across this site dedicated to $50 weekly menus for a family of four. Is it even possible?? I’m still sifting through all of the ideas, but I do like that she includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. I’ll be sure to let you know what I find!
6. Need an idea for DVD storage instead of keeping all of those cases? I LOVE the look of these binders…so customizable and easy!
7. How cute is this Tiny Envelopes Card from Lemon Drop Papers? I’ve got lots of ideas for something similar to put in my Project Life book.
8. Did you see the eye candy in the craft show post on Oh Hello Friend? Can’t wait to have a few spare minutes to check out those vendors!
what city do you live in?
