Before I went to Big Bend last February I tossed in a random ziplock bag of embroidery flosses I had from YEARS ago along with a few safety pins. I taught a few of the girls how to make some super simple bracelets/anklets and they absolutely LOVED IT! Everyone has been making the beaded bracelet but that can be a lot to lug around and isn't super conducive to working on outdoors - embroidery floss bracelets you can do on the go or even get them started at home and then work on them pinned to a backpack, your pantleg, tied onto a water bottle, etc. I grew up making these and it was SO FUN to share with my students.
These are so fun to make year round but extra fun during the summer because you an make them while you watch a movie, work on them at summer camp, work on it while tanning, etc ;)
I grabbed this game and it is SO SIMPLE and fun! I thought it would be perfect for our trip and summer camp because it clips onto a bag/backpack. We've already played multiple times - it's great!
It's already 95+ degrees here in TExas which means the LAST thing I want to do is turn on my oven and bake something for dinner. OR use my stove. It's just too dang hot. The crockpot is my bestie in the summer because it helps keep the temps down in our house AND I'm not spending a bunch of time cooking dinner ;) THE BEST!
I started making this salsa verde chicken a couple of summers ago and it never disappoints. I actually threw it in the crockpot on Saturday with completely frozen chicken breasts and it turned out perfectly be dinnertime. Use it to make quesadillas, top nachos, build tacos, or use in a rice bowl.
Happy Friday, friends! Erika and I are so excited that lots of y'all are linking up with us every week. Make sure that you're grabbing our graphic, linking back to us and sharing your own Friday Favorites post ;)
Today I'm linking up with Shay and Sheaffer to talk a little bit about what's been going on around here! I started this post Tuesday afternoon and then was IN BED AND ASLEEP by 8:30 Tuesday night and never finished! So here we are ;)
This recipe has been one of my favorites for probably 15 years. It couldn't be easier and produces THE BEST BBQ every single time. I'm resharing it this week because this week is CRAZY BUSY and this is the perfect recipe to have on hand for weeks just like this. It's also great for summer when you don't want to have your oven going but want something great for sliders after a day in the pool.
If you make this I'd love to hear what you think!
This past weekend was recital weekend which is always one of my favorite weekends of the year. Since G is older and in multiple classes I don't go in with her during the week so recital is really the first time I see any of her pieces which is so special.
