Who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned Popsicle in the heat of summer? I used to make them a lot when the kids were little but not so much anymore. Until the other day, that is. I saw some cute, colorful silicone push up ice pop molds in a magazine a couple of months ago and, on a whim, I bought them. When they came in the mail, I decided to make myself this old favorite treat. These DIY Coffee Ice Pops are a perfect adult style refreshing summer treat. [Read more…]
Milk Carton Bird Feeder
Milk cartons can be recycled, up-cycled, and reused for just about any kid’s craft. One of my favorite ways to reuse a milk carton is by turning them into a bird feeder or birdhouse. With just a little paint, twigs, and a glue gun, you can turn a tired old milk carton into a [Read more…]
5 Ways to Eat More Lemons
Lemons are one of those foods I like to have on hand in the kitchen to use as a quick, zesty flavor additive for chicken, veggies, tea, and, of course, ice water. They are packed with fiber and vitamin C, which makes the health benefits through the roof. Some specialists also believe that lemons aid in the prevention of kidney stones. As a long time sufferer of kidney disease, my nephrologist often praises the number of lemons I must eat as a result of my citric acid levels.
Lemons are such a versatile fruit, but I often find myself with a [Read more…]
Strawberry Chocolate Cheesecake Bites
It’s almost the end of the strawberry season, which means I have to start stocking up on fresh strawberries while they’re cheap and tasty. Right now my local grocery store is selling a pound of strawberries for about $4. In about a month they’re going to go up $2-$3, and they’re not even going to taste as yummy!

Road to The Gorge – Part 1
Hello everyone! It has been a while since I’ve checked in from Van life. If you’re new here, let me tell you, I’ve been living in a van with my husband and our dog for the past few months. We started in Florida (home) and journeyed up the east coast visiting many friends and family. In July we came home for a month because it was so darn hot and we had some concerts to see in Tampa and West Palm Beach. Then in August, we started our journey out west with purpose.

Summer Tailgate Essentials
Have I mentioned before how much I love the Dave Matthews Band? Every year my husband and I go see them on tour, and one of the best parts is the tailgate! Tailgating before a concert or sporting event is such a great time to be social and hang out with friends and family. It’s the time for food, games, and drinking.
A DMB kind of Summer
This weekend I am seeing the Dave Matthews Band for the first time in 2 years. That may not seem like a long time but for me, it feels like an eternity.
I started seeing the Dave Matthews Band in concert in the summer of 2010. My first concert was in West Palm Beach, Florida and I’ll admit, before the show, I wasn’t the biggest DMB fan. My boyfriend, now husband, was obsessed and I liked them well enough so I thought it’d be fun.
Little did I know that that night would change my life forever.
