Each year during the month leading up to Valentine’s Day, my family loves the tradition of a candy bar buffet.  It sounds silly, but having it available makes the kids want candy less. Crazy, right?! Also, from October to March (during those chilly months), I like to have a hot cocoa bar cart set up for the kids and their friends and other guests as well. Having both of these areas adorned with cute banners is such a fun part of holidays.  I made Valentine’s Day DIY hot cocoa bar and candy bar pennant banners and wanted to offer them as free printables here on the blog as well to share with all of you. Read on below for easy instructions!

So here’s my hot cocoa bar pennant banner.  I really had fun creating the little graphics with the whipped cream and marshmallows and darling little mug with a heart.

How fun are these pennant banners?!
(Adorable hot cocoa cups from Michael’s)

Here’s my candy buffet pennant banner. The pics don’t do it justice but the heart sucker, hard candy and pink heart chocolate graphics are just even cuter in person!

I also found this heart-embossed pink paper at Michael’s.

Supplies:
All you’ll need is white card stock, pink card stock, your printer, scissors and/or paper cutter, thin ribbon, glue or permanent scrapbook adhesive, mini hole punch, 2 1/2″ circle punch, string/twine, tape (if you want to center and keep paper on twine). Optional: Iridescent glitter, glue, and small paint brush OR Valentine print ribbon (as a top trim on banner).

Instructions:

Here’s what I did. First, print out each sheet of 2″ circles from the links below.

Please note, these designs are FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY!!! (Protected by copyright laws and I will have to take legal action if I see them reproduced on Etsy or CreativeMarket or anywhere else. I have tools to search he web looking for them. Yes, I have to say this because some people are dishonest. Ugh. Ok…we have that out of the way. Moving on…)

Next, use a 2 1/2″ circle punch to punch them out or a scallop is cute too. Then I used my paper cutter to make the pennant banner flags about 4″ high and 3 1/4″ wide with a 45º angle to the center from each bottom corner.  I didn’t want to go up very far. You can decide how far you want to go up. I liked going up 1/2″.

Adhere the circle to the pennant. Mini hole-punch each top corner and use twine or string of choice going down one corner and up through the opposite.  Once you have the entire thing done and centered, you can tape the back so that it stays in place.

This is optional but I like to brush the top of the banner with glue and iridescent glitter (I’ll even layer it on the hot cocoa banner to look like sparkly snow) for a fun effect.  You can also add a small ribbon trim instead and punch the holes for the twine a little lower.

Tie ribbon on each end of banner and hang it at desired location. I used mini clear 3M hooks and then attached the candy banner to my mirror and then just used tape to hang my hot cocoa banner on my bar cart. Easy peasy!

Valentine’s Day is my very favorite holiday (after Christmas). Have so much fun printing these and hanging them for your friends and family to enjoy all the sweets! Don’t forget to stock up on lots of candy and heart-shaped marshmallows! HAPPY LOVE DAY, sweet friends! Love you all and so glad you keep coming back and visiting me here!!

Hello friends!  Okay, by the show of hands, who is watching Marie Kondo on Netflix and starting off their new year with a ton of tidying up?  Me too!  Honestly, at the beginning of each new year I feel the itch to do this but it’s been fun to see my kids actually enjoy her show too and want to organize their rooms and drawers a little better.  Speaking of organization…my friends and I are getting together to share our organizational printables with you today and there are so many fabulous ideas.  I’ve been so excited about this!  I’m sharing my pink to-do list and cleaning schedule printables (that I designed a while back) for free.  There are 3 printables I’m sharing today.

Is our home really that clean and organized all the time?

Many people that follow my blog or that follow me on my social media platforms typically like to ask my kids or husband upon meeting them, “Is your home really that clean and organized all the time?”  They will answer “yes” and really believe it and, for the most part, it stays pretty clean.  Now, as a mom who sees all and has her own definition of “clean”, I’ll tell you that our home gets messy and chaotic from time to time.  But truthfully, it stays pretty clean because we stay on top of the housework. If we don’t, well then….we go through a few busy days and can’t stand it anymore and we get cleaning again.  It is NOT always camera-ready. It does need to be fairly clean and tidy though or else it would be a HUGE chore to have to do, every single time I wanted to take a photo.

You’ll notice that my home is very light in its design and there’s a lot of white, like the kitchen, my living room sofas, and most of our bedding.  When you discipline your kids and teach them cleanliness from a young age and you are CONSISTENT, you can have the house that you want.  Again, consistency is key!  You need to show them how to respect the things around them while still living and playing and having fun.

Free Pink Organizational Printables

Each Sunday or Monday, I tend to make a quick Cleaning Schedule for the week.  I have a housekeeper that comes every other week and does a deep clean but the opposite weeks are left to me and the kiddos and also a few tasks to my hubby.

It’s VERY important to me that my kids learn how to clean properly and organize and, honestly, they do a better job than most of the housekeepers we’ve had in the past.

Anyway, if I just write down what needs to be done each day (or let them choose the days) and put their names next to them, the week goes by smoothly and everyone knows what their assignments are.  There’s no negotiating or complaining or whining (for the most part) and it just keeps us clean and organized.  You’ll see Sunday through Saturday sections on the printable to help you.

Tip:  I like to clean in “zones” instead of all at once.  If you do one or two tasks a day, it’s much easier to keep a clean and organized home!

Of course, morning and night have regular daily chores like trash and dishes, sweeping the kitchen or picking up the bonus room before bed.  That’s why I love those “morning” and “evening” boxes as a nice reminder.

Welcome, friends!  I’m so thrilled you’re here!  The Seasonal Simplicity Summer series is back today; and this time we’re sharing all kinds of free printables for summer! I hope you enjoy these!  I have a fun printable recipe card for my homemade pink lemonade recipe.  I know you’ll just love it as much as my family and I do.  It’s the perfect summer drink to cool off and quench your thirst on a hot day!

I love summer recipes!  Popsicles, ice cream, and anything else that cools me off.
I especially love all things lemon in the summer.

I recently made a Pink Lemonade Chiffon Naked Cake that is to die for!

Then my mom came into town and suggested we make these Lemon Curd Parfaits and wow….they were so divine.

  I also set the cutest Pink Lemonade themed outdoor table for dinner with a few girlfriends last week.  Read all about that HERE if you haven’t yet seen how it turned out.  It was pretty fun and so cute to put together.

I served pink lemonade at that dinner but it was bottled pink lemonade.  It was tasty but as I was taking a sip, I was thinking how much I’d rather have been drinking a homemade pink lemonade. It’s the easiest recipe ever so I wanted to share it with you today.

Recipe:
9 cups water
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 cups fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup cranberry juice, chilled

Directions:
In large pitcher, combine all ingredients and stir until sugar is completely dissolved.
Pour over ice and add lemon slice or mint for garnish and serve. Enjoy!

*Variation: To make sparkling lemonade, use club soda instead of water.  Also, you can always make a simple syrup with the sugar and water first on the stove and then mix it in with the other ingredients so that you don’t have to wait for all the sugar to dissolve.

I made a darling printable pink lemonade recipe card for you to give a friend if they want your recipe (because they will…it’s that good).

I also had another idea….

I have a bunch of these cute little milk bottles with lids in one of my cabinets.  I thought it would be fun to fill them with my pink lemonade and run them over to a few neighbors or friends for fun.  It’s something other than cookies and I thought they’d like it.

I also remembered that I had recently bought some yummy lemon saltwater taffy in bulk at our grocery store and thought it would be cute in a small clear bag with the bottle of homemade pink lemonade.  I wish I had taller bags but this is what I had on hand and I have a ton of them. You could buy the taller bags if you wanted to do the same thing.

I just punched a hole in the cute printable and tied it with a pink double-sided satin ribbon around the top of the bottle.  Fun right?!  I had all of this at home already so I always get excited when I realize I can actually put to use the things I hoard save for just the right moment…ha!  They were a hit!

This homemade pink lemonade recipe is also the perfect drink to make and serve out by the pool or just outside to kids and friends. This was a hot day and so, while in my swimsuit and coverup, it was the perfect thing to bring out to everyone playing in the water!

 Here is the printable below.  Click on the bold link to print or right-click the image below to save and print at any size by adjusting.

The post Homemade Pink Lemonade Recipe + Printable Recipe Card appeared first on Summer Adams.

Hello, friends! I’m so excited you’re here today!  Whether you’re one of my regular readers or new to my blog, welcome!  It’s so fun to join this group of friends (and fabulous bloggers) to share our Mothers’ Day Gift Basket Ideas with you.  You may have come here from my friend Tana’s blog at Your Marketing BFF.  Tana is such a talent!  She not only designed this beautiful website of mine (feel free to explore more of my site by clicking on the HOME page after you’re done with the tour) but she shared such a fun idea for a picnic gift basket.  I love that idea so much!  Today I’m sharing how to create a luxurious relaxation gift basket for Mom on this Mothers’ Day.

Let’s start on a personal note…

Earlier this week I shared how to create the perfect bath experience at home so relaxation and pampering have been on my mind.  If there’s anyone who deserves both of those, it’s a woman who is called “Mother”!  My mom had 6 of us and did it beautifully!  I learned, and still learn, so much from her as she never stops loving and serving us kids and our children too.  Here’s one of my favorite pics of us from the ’80’s ha!

Mom & I at a Luau circa 1983

Her mother, my sweet grandma, passed away a couple of weeks ago and my mom has been with her and caring for her and loving her as she’s passed.  I know she’s physically and mentally exhausted. I have no doubt she’d enjoy a luxurious relaxation gift basket idea for this Mothers’ Day.

Make sure to pin these to Pinterest and save these ideas for later!
(Hover over the top left of my photos and click on “Pin It” icon.)

Straw totes are on trend right now so instead of a traditional basket I chose to use a half-moon straw tote bag.  That way Mom can use it afterwards for flower-picking, taking on a picnic, using as a handbag, or even re-gifting.

Most baskets these days are accessorized with pom-poms or tassels or bows but I wanted this basket tote to have a touch of floral.  If your mom is local and you’re delivering this personally, you could add a small bouquet of fresh flowers.  If you’re in my shoes and shipping your gift basket, a pretty arrangement of faux florals is a perfect idea.

One of my favorite things to relax in is a soft, luxurious, feminine robe.  Every mother deserves one of these and it is the perfect addition to our pampering gift basket.  Plum Pretty Sugar robes are my favorites.  I’ve shared them before…Brooklyn and I have matching robes and I adore them.  I love floral robes and this blush peony kimono-style robe would be such a lovely choice for your mother.  I wear them when getting ready, fresh out of a bath, or at the end of a long day.

Another luxury for Mom is a lovely pair of house slippers.  There are so many beautiful choices that I’ll link at the end of this post.  These slippers are elegant and comfortable but also inexpensive.

Add other pampering items to your basket like bath and body oils, lotions, sprays and perfumes, and candles.  These are a few of my favorites.  Chanel Coco Mademoiselle is my signature perfume that I’ve worn for years and I get stopped constantly, by men and women, asking what I’m wearing.  It’s luxurious, feminine, sophisticated and Mom will feel like a queen when she wears it.  Every morning, I spray it on and instantly feel like a million bucks!

Whenever I’m winding down or getting ready to take a nice bath, I love grabbing one of my favorite candles.  I love Illume Candles and have several different scents.  The new design for the Coconut Milk Mango in the ceramic pineapple jar is not only adorable but it has notes of pineapple, mango, papaya and coconut milk infused with sugarcane and Tahitian vanilla that just makes it oh sooooo delightful and yummy!  Trust me, your mom will love this one!

To make it even cuter, this little jar of blush pink matches are pretty enough that Mom can keep them out on the counter next to her candle.

If you’ve been a reader of my blog for a while, you know how much I love partnering with IT Cosmetics.  As a former makeup artist, I love playing with makeup and trying out all different cosmetic lines.  I’ve promised to be honest and only share items I love with my readers.  IT Cosmetics just sent me another gift box of goodies for the spring and summer that I’m in love with and one of the things in there was this fabulous new Bye Bye Pores Bronzer of theirs and this Heavenly Luxe Wand Ball Powder Brush.  It is perfection!  I love the way it goes on, like a sun-kissed glow without looking orange.  It’s inexpensive and good for your skin and not too shimmery, which is perfect for those with more mature skin and their brushes are such fabulous quality and won’t break the bank.  Your mom will love this for the spring and summer!

Add some chocolates and a hand-written card from the heart and your luxurious pampering gift basket for Mothers’ Day is complete!  Mom will feel, smell, and look like a queen!  Doesn’t every mother deserve that on her special day?  I think so too!

Tip for gift-giving:  If this idea is out of your price range, call your sibling(s) or even your father and ask if they’d like to go in on this basket with you and split the cost.  That way, Mom receives something special, thoughtful, and unique that will make her feel spoiled!

Hello, friends!  I’m so excited to have you here today!  We are gathered again, as a group of interior and lifestyle bloggers, to bring all of you some fabulous spring inspiration.  Thanks to our friend Krista from The Happy Housie for hosting our “Seasonal Simplicity Tours” this spring.  If you are visiting from her blog or from Sincerely Marie Designs, there’s no doubt you have already been pinning inspiration! I have a round-up of all the spring fun I’ve had lately and there’ still more to come.  If you’re new here, you’ll see that for my spring home tour I’ve used accents of blush and blue and it’s been so fun sharing spring decorating tips, spring fashion, spring recipes, and spring printables with you!

This post contains affiliate links for your shopping convenience.
Click here to read my full disclosure policy.  All opinions are my own.

I started off this spring by sharing with you my Rain Gear Round-Up.  Spring showers bring those beautiful flowers and we get more than most of you, being in the Pacific Northwest.  I don’t mind the rain and it’s so gorgeous here but I definitely find importance in staying dry while being fashionable as well.

My mantel before spring was bright and simple with mixed metals.  I added a hint of blush and blue to my mantel for spring and even shared another variation for Easter by adding a few things.

I found the cutest blue striped tablecloth with tassels and knew I wanted to use it for my Easter table with blush pink and a vintage milk glass place setting.

This was one of my favorite tables ever, for a few reasons.  Read HERE to find out why and to see the tassels on the tablecloth and the entire finished table.

Also in that same blog post, I share how I added pink and blue to my bright white kitchen for the spring and the new rug runner I found.

No matter what your spring color palette is, I used things I already had to style my kitchen using those colors. See more and read all about it HERE.

One of my favorite things about spring time is that we get outside more…even in the rain!  It warms up just a little bit and the sun comes out and we start playing out in the neighborhood again.  Being in a brand new subdivision and one of the first ones to build in our cul-de-sac, we now have a bunch of homes being finished and all these new neighbors are moving in.  We were soooo excited!  I made these darling printable gift tags for baked goods and shared them with all of you.  Brooklyn (my 12 year-old) made delicious Snickerdoodles and we brought these to all our new neighbors (they all seem to be moving in at once) and introduced ourselves and welcomed them to the neighborhood.  You can print and use these tags from this post.

After winter is over and we put away our hot cocoa bar, I transform the bar cart into a Spring Bar Cart with fun drinks on hand for all ages. I also share this beautiful and comfortable ruffled skirt for spring.

And if company is coming, I put out some baked goods as well.  I also like to change up my candles and freshen my home up with fruity and flowery scents and put away all the pine and cinnamon.

In my most recent Current Crushes post, I share home accents I love for the spring as well as fashion and gift ideas.  It’s a must-read!  I just love when my girlfriends tell me about a fun find or a good sale….don’t you?!

My daughter and I just LOVE to bake and we do it year-round.  In the spring, you will usually find cakes and baked goods with lemon or coconut or other fruity flavors.  Last weekend we made this Pink Lemonade Chiffon Naked Cake and it was HEAVENLY!!  The recipe is easy and sooooo delicious.  Find this recipe HERE.

I recently received new pillow covers for the spring from Willa Skye Home.  These blush linen pillow covers, paired with the spa blue antelope pillow covers just brought such an elegance to this bright living room for the season.

The quality is superb and her variety of fabrics is phenomenal.  I absolutely loved working with WSH to create this stylish spring look!  You can visit my Living Room post to get all of the sources on this space and also shopping links.

Do you see who else got a new bed for spring?

It’s the cutest lucite and brass dog bed I found at HomeGoods a couple of weeks ago and I’m so glad he finally warmed up to it because it looks perfect in the living room!

I told you all that I’ve been freshening up my foyer for spring.  I love to “shop my home” and move things around when I get sick of spaces.  I pull out all of my faux flowers and decided to use blush, obviously.  And 4 months later, I have to say that this gorgeous chandelier from my friends at Bellacor still takes my breath away every time I go downstairs.  Read all about it and the rest of the items in this space HERE and see a closeup of the chandelier.

I also stocked up on more faux pink peonies and cherry blossoms from Michael’s.  I posted this pic on Instagram (but a more zoomed out shot) and everyone thought they were real.  Now, I buy fresh flowers for the house every week but when it’s spring and I really want to bring out a lot of cherry blossoms and peonies and roses and more, it’s wise to invest in some fabulous faux floral stems to save money AND not have to constantly change the water and cut your flowers every day or two.

Back to my entry…
I made some really fun straw totes with Brooklyn a couple of months ago (tutorial coming next week) and put it on our foyer bench with some faux pink peonies.

Instead of a faux fur throw and pillows on our bench, as we did in the winter, I used a light scarf that I could easily take with me and even use as a wrap if it’s a chilly spring day.  I also used linen pillows on our bench after putting the winter pillows away.  And yes….I bought myself a new pair of sandals since it’s warming up and my toes are dying to see the sun.

While “shopping my home” I used brought in both of my large and small temple jars and filled them with faux cherry blossom stems.

I kept the lamp but also put out a home interiors book I love and my newest GORGEOUS jar from my friend Alyssa.  Her shop Amped Decor is so fabulous and I love so many of her pieces.  After breaking my last jar that was identical to this, she heard about it and sent me this one.  You MUST visit her online shop and see all of the fun things she sells as well as her lovely home.  Get ready to swoon!

(If the jar above is sold out, you can find a similar one here.)

I wanted some framed art on this middle mirrored tray.  I couldn’t find anything that I truly loved so I decided to print out and frame one of my favorite pictures of a door in Portugal (where I lived years ago as a missionary) draped in blossoming branches during spring.  It has the prettiest blue door and I just look at it and smile, reflecting on some of the best memories.

In a smaller frame, I added a print of blush and blue butterflies that I designed.  If you’re interested, let me know.  I might just add another blog post and offer it as a free printable next week.  Butterflies come and you just know it’s spring time….right?!

I also added one of my favorite Agape Candles and I think it’s the perfect spring entry table now.

On the other side of our entry, I removed the gray pillows from my faux fur settee bench and added this blush ruffle throw blanket from my online shoppe.

(Yes, that is our thermostat in the most awkward place on that wall.  There was nowhere else they could put it in the house.  We went over and over this and it killed me to put it there…eye sore!  I usually photoshop it out for photos…ha!)

It’s the perfect soft and elegant touch for spring.

I found this darling and affordable blush and blue geometric dress (here or here) and these shoes (similar here) and loved that they went with my spring interior color palette.  You can’t see the earrings very well but they are these ones and are sooooo cute!

I’m so glad you could stop by today and THANK YOU for being here!  Next, my dear friend Heather from Setting For Four is sharing her Spring Tour and you don’t want to miss it!  She’s also sharing her love for blush and blue and everything she does is just gorgeous!

This week I’ve joined up with a talented group of bloggers to share part of our home decorated for spring as part of the Seasonal Simplicity Series. There is so much stunning inspiration for you to enjoy, all week long!

The post Spring Home Tour With Accents Of Blush & Blue appeared first on Summer Adams.

Hello friends!  Welcome to my regular readers and also new friends that are here for the first time today!  I’m so thrilled to participate in a blog hop with some talented friends as we are sharing some free  Spring Printables!  Thanks so much to Krista from The Happy Housie for hosting and organizing.  Today I’m sharing a printable gift tag that you can use when giving baked goods or something delicious from your kitchen.

Click here to read my full disclosure policy.  All opinions are my own.

If you’ve been following me on Instagram OR if you’ve visited my spring mantel, table & kitchen, and spring fashion posts here last week, you are fully aware that I have a crush on the color combo of “blush and blue” lately.  I’ve always loved it but now that we’re in our new home and this is my first spring here, it seemed like a lovely idea to just add blue after all of the blush during Valentine’s Day and enjoy them together.

When spring comes, we tend to get out of our homes more and play outside and visit with our neighbors.  Are you like that too?  We are in a brand new subdivision and were one of the first houses in our cul-de-sac.  This month, we have homes being finished and more families and new neighbors moving in and it’s so exciting.  We love meeting our new neighbors and bringing cookies to welcome them to the neighborhood so Brooklyn made a fresh batch of snickerdoodles (one of my faves).

I decided to make printable gift tags, which I have so many of and in all different designs that I’ve created over the years, but wanted a new design that reflected my love of blush and blue.

I loved the idea of using a pink KitchenAid mixer and designed them having a bouquet of blush and blue floral coming out of it since it’s spring!

I created them in 2 sizes with one being a rectangle shape and one in a square shape.

Instructions for printable gift tags for baked goods:

•For PDF of rectangle tags, click on THIS LINK and then on the picture of tags.  Print from browser.

I grabbed some blush double-sided ribbon (this ribbon or that ribbon) to tie around the little boxes and some good scissors.

As for the boxes, you might remember that they are the same ones I use every year for my Galentine’s Day Treat Boxes.  I had plenty of these boxes leftover, since I buy so many at a time and love to use them for different occasions.  They are just the perfect size to hold cookies!

I grabbed some light blue tissue paper to stuff on the bottom, stacked the cookies on top of them, closed the lid, and then tied the blush ribbon and tag on top.  It really shows your friends that you’re putting thought into this and delivering them with love, versus throwing them on a paper plate or in a bag. Don’t get me wrong, they’re just as tasty, but this is just the cutest way to say “Welcome to the neighborhood!” or “I was just thinking of you and wanted to bring you some cookies!”

People love that!

Happy New Year!  I can’t believe it is 2018!  This last year has been a huge one for our family.  We moved from Texas to the Pacific Northwest, where we’ve built a new home.  So far, I’ve revealed our Bright White Living Room and also our Bright White Kitchen.  Since we’ve only been here for 2 months, I’ve been working hard on all the other spaces in our home, during the holidays, and I can’t wait to share more with you here so make sure you are subscribed at the top of the page and continue to come back.
