This was such a fun post to do. I love crafting in the summer when I can be outside. I also love modern, colorful details.

Our living room is mostly neutral, so my goal was to bring a pop-up of color and a casual playfulness to the room.

Here is a delicious and easy-to-make summer treat for summer. Just bake some cookie bowls using the back of a cupcake tin, and serve mini scoops of ice cream in them! Here we used chocolate cookies, but you can try any type of cookie you like!

Julie from Crowing Details is here today to share how she put together a fantastic kids' activity station for July 4th that will delight your kids! She also designed a free printables to go along with it! 

Even though my 3 little ones are still too young for a big fireworks show, I still like to make July 4th fun and exciting for them. I also like to find a way to entertain the adults at my BBQ.

Today, we went to the Maker Faire in San Mateo, CA. The Maker Faire is "part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new." It's as if Burning Man, Google, and an artisan pickle maker had a baby.

If you are looking for a great way to entertain your kids on long car rides this summer, I have one suggestion... Audible! It's a lifesaver.

My daughter's favorite book is Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. She loves the special world Alice enters, and all the incredible characters she meets along the way.

You might have seen this pop-up on our site...

A few years ago, we built this for ourselves, a pop-up to grow Pinterest followers, and it worked so well we started giving it away for FREE to other bloggers and business owners. We named it MiloTree (after our favorite tree in Hawaii).
