Summer Selection and Slowing Down this Season…

Summer is upon us *dreamy sigh*… Thoughts of homemade ice cream, outdoor fun with the family and stacks of books fill my heart.  Here is a list of summer inspired activities that you may enjoy this season. 

Some recipes you may consider making is our avocado salsa and some angeled eggs for an outdoor picnic. What about a batch of deli-style refrigerator pickles to go with all those summer sandwiches? When the heat kicks in, you can blend up some frugal coffee beverages!

If mosquitoes are a problem in your area, consider making your own bug-spray.

If you plan on preserving, here is a list of recipes you may want to try.

Are you planning to slow down this season? I sure am! This weary pilgrim may post once a week but no more than that during these upcoming months… She has made lots of plans with her loved ones.

We do have another series prepared for this blog that we are very excited about! It will include pretty and practical printables for the pioneer-spirited souls… However, it is a *surprise* and will start in the fall :)
