Funtstic Friday #241

Welcome back to school.

This is the earliest we have started the school year 

and I think we are all wanting some more summer!

But it's time to get rolling with school supplies

and new books to read.

If you're a Harry Potter fan,

the DYI Party Mom has a  HP survival kit that would not only be great for a Harry Potter Party,

but would also be a fun way to get kids into reading.

For me, it's inspiring more ideas for other book series kits

or some goodie relating to a book that would get kids interested in reading. 

You could get creative with this idea....

a magnifying glass for Nancy Drew,

a cupcake for the Very Hungry Caterpillar

or a plastic spider ring for Charlotte's Web. 

Don't forget your bookmark.

You can print one of your own {here}

Time to get to this week's link party!

Fantastic Friday #240

We recently helped a daughter move into a new apartment.

Unfurnished- so she's been ordering a few things

 but checking out the local DI (like Goodwill) for pieces. 

Gloria's refurbished dresser has given us some good ideas.

What a transformation of an old piece of furniture!

If you're looking for something a little whimsical 

check out Carrie's surfboard coffee table.

Enjoy what's left of your summer.

Some are already back in school! We start next week.

Where did July go?

Looking forward to this week's inspiration from Funtastic Friday...

This summer is a HOT one!

What's your favorite drink to cool off with in the heat?

Raquel's strawberry lemonade looks so refreshing.
I could go for a glass right now.



We've rounded up a few more cool summer drinks {here}
Kick back and let's get to this week's link party....

Funtastic Friday #238

Welcome back to another week of Funtastic Friday!

I'm thinking quick meals for the summer.

Grab and go, where everyone can eat dinner at their own pace.

Classic dinner in a bag, walking tacos from Crystal
and for dessert...


Smore's in a bag
Can't get much easier than that.
Easy clean up too!
I'm ready for this week's party,
here we go!

Funtastic Friday #237

July seems to be the month for vacations

or stay-cation projects. 

Angela has this easy no sew bench cushion,

genius using Velcro!

This is sure to give your space a quick refresh.

We've got our sewn bench cushion with piping instructions that you can find {here} too.

Are you working on anything for your home?

Still hoping to have time in between vacations to clean out our office/craft room,

but it looks like we'll be painting part of my husband's office first. 

It's been so hot! and the  AC is out!

We've been living with fans and waiting 5 days for a repair man to come out!

Today is the day! Hoping you'll share cool fruit drink recipes on today's link party ;)

Here we go....

Funtstic Friday #236

Summertime...

cooking up recipes that are light and that won't heat up the oven.

The LouLou girls have a wonderful Tuscan Chicken recipe

 that I want to try out this week.

One of our favorites for lunch is this easy turkey wrap

What are you cooking up this summer?
Now, let's get to Funtastic Friday.....

Funtstic Friday #235

Happy 4th of July!!
Hope you're having a wonderful holiday weekend!

Sweet summertime- swimming, popsicles and flip flops.

If you're looking for a cooking project without heating the oven,

have the kids make some of Beverly and Gloria's flip flop cookies

Perfect recipe for the kid-os.

Or how about Carrie's chocolate dipped graham crackers.

Don't forget the sprinkles.
