Fruit Flavored Water

I've been adoring the fruit flavored water I see all over Pinterest, and so I decided to try my own!

Fruit is so healthy and yummy, there's really no way I dislike it.  I eat LOTS of fruit and thought this would be a fun way to change things up a bit.

And these would be SO good in the heat of the summer at a lake day or picnic.  I will be using them for sure.

Fruit Flavored Water

Your choice of fruit layered at the bottom of a mason jar.  { I used raspberries, blackberries, lemons, oranges, kiwis, strawberries,  and limes.
Herbs of choice {I used Parsley and Dill, because that's what I had on hand, but it would be fun to try others.  I really wanted to try mint, but the store didn't have any!}
Layer of ice
Water

Enjoy!

The longer you let them sit, the better they taste!  We liked the orange, Kiwi strawberry, and mixed berry drinks best.

Trendy Tuesday #34

Welcome back to Trendy Tuesday!  So glad to have you here as always.

I am happy to announce that spring has made it's way here FINALLY!!  And wow are we ever happy.  Not sure I have ever lived through that much winter for that long before.

I had fun bringing spring into my house with my Vintage Crate with Tulips.  There is NOTHING better than real live flowers in my opinion.

{Especially when you have been stuck inside with winter for so long!!}




 Here is the feature of the week...Strawberry Thyme Olive Oil Cupcakes and Balsamic Frosting from Little Accidents in the Kitchen  I think they look SO pretty and yummy too!!




Ok, time to party!!  Can't wait to see what you all have been up to this week!!

Vintage Crate Centerpiece {with Tulips}

I love reusing vintage things to make something new.  And I especially have fallen in love with old vintage crates.

I am also a HUGE fan of the old 1950s diner style...turquoise and red, checkered floors, and coca cola bottles.

I've done two projects already with my very own fun coca cola bottles, a Cute Centerpiece, and a Spring Centerpiece.  And now I finally found a way to use the COOL crate that goes along with them.

All I did was to fill it with bottles, the middle spaces with coca cola bottles and the outer spaces with some vintage-styled bottles I got from Amazon.

Then I put water and tulips in each one and here is my centerpiece!!

It's a fun and easy way to decorate any space for spring.

Hope you enjoy.  You know just how much I love to take pictures...forgive the overkill!!

Trendy Tuesday #33

Welcome back to Trendy Tuesday!!  So happy to have you all here.

I'm looking for a couple of cool projects to share on here in the next few weeks...are any of you willing to share a guest post with my readers?

The project would need to be one that has never been shared on your blog before and must have lots of pictures.  If anyone is interested please let me know and I will consider your project.

Here is the feature of the week.  I love this dining room reveal at The Blissful Bee.  So fresh and inviting!

Trendy Tuesday #32

Welcome back to Trendy Tuesday!  So glad to have you here.

I seem to have hit a crafting slump, but trying to find some creative juice again.  Anyone ever have that happen?  Could be due to the 12 or so inches of snow we got last night.  Winter blizzards in April are SO unwelcome in my mind!

I love to see your projects each week.  Thanks so much for coming by and linking up.

Here is the feature of the week.

I love this kitchen redo from Home Happy Home...simple yet gorgeous and it has a lot of my favorite things in it.  I love the black and white with the stainless appliances.

{Fun inspiration for the house plan we are working on right now!}

Trendy Tuesday #31

Welcome back to Trendy Tuesday!  So happy to have you here.

We are still waiting for spring to come if you can believe it!  There's still snow on the ground and more coming down and we are supposed to get up to an inch today.  WOW!!  I sure hope winter goes away soon!

Here is the feature of the week.

I thought it was pretty cool to make your own laundry soap...I might give this a try sometime!  Thanks for sharing Atkinson Drive
