Just Peachy

This weekend I hesitantly tried a new flavor of ice cream at Coldstone--peach. I was hesitant because there would be nothing whatsoever of chocolate in this creation. But can I say Yummmmmm!? I am loving everything peach right now! There is a peach festival or town days or something in a town near us next month--I can not wait to go! Maybe then I will be able to use this recipe I've been eyeing for awhile from Martha Stewart.

Backyard "Drive In" Movie

Sorry, I know I show a lot of videos from Studio 5...but this was such a fun idea! I had to share another one! I have only been to a drive in theater once and it was so much fun! I've always wanted to go back, but now we live in a different state...so that won't be happening anytime soon. However we do have a back yard! Maybe we could make our own drive in movie theater...after we figure out how to get rid of all the millions of bugs in our back yard.

Why didn't I see this sooner??

I am in LOVE with these darling Fourth of July shirts! If only I had seen this a few weeks ago I would have made one for my honey! You can bet I'll be making one next year for sure! You can find instructions by Make It and Love It here.

Fiery Flower Fireworks

Because I was in the midst of moving, I never really got around to posting about all the fun fourth of July things I had been seeing. So...even though it's late, I am going to do that now. Maybe you could extend your celebrations, or maybe you can save these ideas for next year!
