A wonderful summer dinner idea-buffalo chicken lettuce wraps! This is also wonderful for working-from-home lunches, too. You make this delicious buffalo chicken all together (easy peasy!), and then serve it in crisp romaine lettuce boats. So crunchy! So delicious! And it keeps in the fridge, too. Find the recipe for your new favourite lunch and summer dinner here.
Citrus desserts are always perfect for summer, and these key lime pie bars are a delicious and completely summery option! These might look fancy, but they come together with few ingredients and are an ideal weekend baking treat. Find the delicious recipe here.
Looking for a fun summer cocktail idea? These frozen peach bellinis have only 4 ingredients, one of which are ice cubes! You can use fresh or frozen peaches, too. Let’s get blending! Find the details (basically, take these 4 things and chuck into a blender) right over here.
This easy sew DIY floor cushion is great way to destash some fat quarter fabric lingering in your crafting cupboards! Make a whole bunch for a fun, casual bohemian vibe. Or get some special fabric and make them all in one style, looking really luxe or a perfect match for your decor- whatever you decide, I bet these are going to be a hit. Find the free pattern and instructions right over here, and get your boho on.
Okay, how adorable is this seashell pineapple jar craft?! If you have a bunch of shells that could work for this – and I think as long as you have a lot of the same style of shell, it would work- you could take a glass jar and make this very cute jar that could also be perfect for storing small odds and ends, but in a clever and cute way. Find the DIY here.
And just like that, it’s the middle of June! The kids have two more weeks of school here, and this month feels exceptionally busy for just about everyone I know. Have an amazing weekend, friends. I hope you have beautiful weather, and a cold beverage in hand!
