Summer Time Fun Linky Party

I'm so excited to be co-hosting this Summer Time Fun Link Party! Summer is my favorite time of the year.  I love long sunny days spent by the side of the lake, pool or ocean and I love reading about ways to pack even more fun into our summer.  I've joined with a group of our blogging friends to bring you a month long link party. As we jump into summer, you're invited to share your summer time posts with us! Share your crafts, DIY projects, recipes, activities, vacation ideas, and more! 

Meet Your Co-Hosts!


All of the co-hosts will be sharing a summer post to kick off the party. You can find our posts in the first Link Up at the bottom of the post.

Each year my boys and I write up a summer fun bucket list of all the art projects, science experiments, day trips and summer fun we'd like to have before heading back to school in the fall.  I hadn't yet gotten around to writing ours up yet this year and figured this was the perfect time!

I sat down with the boys and asked them to help make up a list of what we'd like to do before school starts back up in the fall.  This is what they came up with and it sounds like a whole lot of fun to me.



 Link up as many posts as you'd like in keeping with the summer time theme. Come back often during the month for inspiration and to add your latest posts, too! All of the co-hosts will share a features post on July 19th.

Prime Purchases I Made in March

Image
 Happy April Fool's day to you! It's the first Monday of the month and time for Prime Purchases with Tanya.  I was doing so well with my Amazon purchases right up until the end of the month when we decided to host Easter dinner at our house and I felt like I "needed" so much not having any Easter decorations at all.  I bought a few new cardigans for this "in between" season and really love this cable knit one so much it's all I can do to keep myself from buying a second one! I also like this gray one.. . but I find myself wishing I had bought it a different color since it's not very "spring" feeling.  Evan needed some new hiking shoes and we really wanted something waterproof this year but our local shoe stores didn't have anything that worked so we turned to Amazon and he found this pair that he really likes.  I've been working on lots of scrapbook pages and I needed to buy some more of these adhesive refills and Cricut cutting

Alec's Accepted Student Day at JWU

Image
Last spring when Alec started his college planning I was pretty surprised that he only wanted to visit 2 colleges out of state (he visited a few in-state with his high school culinary class).  He ultimately decided to apply to just the 2 colleges we visited-- Johnson and Wales University (JWU) and the Culinary Institute of America (CIA). Both ranked as the #1 & #2 schools in the U.S for culinary and baking/pastry arts. Funny enough out of his 2 culinary teachers he's had in high school one attended each of those schools!  Photo of harborside campus from last spring JWU Future wildcat photo also from last spring Visiting the CIA over the summer We were lucky that both schools are easily visited in a day and we had a great time touring them both. Alec made sure to ask lots and lots of questions. The two schools were so comparable to one another that we had quite the pro/con list going.  He LOVED the CIA's campus and that it was along a river and rather rural and quiet... but

Day in the Life: Friday Favorites

Image
 I decided to document last Friday for today's Friday Favorites post. I hardly ever document a day in the life anymore now that my boys are grown and mostly on their own. But I knew we had a pretty full day and thought it might be fun.  These are some of my favorite posts to read and I think I did a pretty great job remembering to document and take pictures for the whole day! 5:00 wake up and I allow myself to blog, read emails, etc. until 5:30 5:30 get up, get dressed for the gym, put away my laundry from the night before, make the bed. 5:45 head downstairs to make Alec's lunch (1/2 way though he came to the balcony to tell me he wasn't going to school since he wasn't feeling well-- he's 18 and allowed to make this call himself).  I decided to make a salad, some chicken salad, hard boil some eggs, and cut up all the fruit since we had just done groceries after dinner last night and none of that had been done yet. I emptied, reloaded, and restarted the dishwasher.
