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.

The post Stylish 2019 Printable Monthly Calendars – Free appeared first on Summer Adams.

One of my favorite things about the holiday season is giving to others.  We give more of ourselves in time and in serving others in need, we pay for the people behind us in a drive-thru, we give more of our time to our families and celebrating in the festivities, we bake treats for our neighbors…the list goes on and on.  Some friends and I are sharing our DIY gifts ideas with you as part of the “Seasons Of Simplicity Tour – Christmas Series”, hosted by my friend Krista at The Happy Housie.  My gift idea is for the pink-loving baker.

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

While receiving is fun, I much more prefer to give gifts.  I really enjoy putting together thoughtful gifts over just buying something on a list and checking it off.  Of course, when I’m Christmas shopping or putting together any kind of gift, it’s always more fun when it’s something I would like and would want as well.  Clearly, from the picture above of me and Brooklyn, I love pink and I love to bake.  We both do.

(Our cute aprons are from Sugar Baby Aprons and this one was “Stop & Smell The Rosé“.  Use coupon code “#summeradams” for 30% off your order!)

This gift idea seems like the best idea because I know I’d be thrilled to receive it.  My favorite things in my kitchen are all the pretty things that I use to bake and cook with.
(I’ll link to all items used in this post or similar/suggested items below, in the “shop the post” section.)

So I figured I’d start with a pink mixing bowl, added a cute pink kitchen towel on the bottom (not shown) to prop all the items up, a pink rolling pin, pink whisks and measuring spoons and other pink kitchen utensils.  I also found some cute pink marble cupcake liners, some sparkly sugar sprinkles, pink macarons (these can be homemade or purchased from a bakery but I have a fabulous recipe HERE), a pink candle that looks like a macaron, a pink nutcracker since it’s Christmas and then…

…these printable recipe cards with a cute pink Kitchen-aid stand mixer on it.  It’s simple and adorable, useful and thoughtful, and I truly believe that any girl who loves pink and loves to bake will simply ADORE this gift!

**Idea!  You could also include (in pink) a hand mixer, stand mixer, pink ornaments, pink mixing spoons, pink pot holders, pink kitchen hand soaps/lotions, pink apron, pink cake stand or cupcake stand, pink pots and pans (if going for a larger gift idea – I especially like this idea for a newlywed or new homemaker), pink toaster, pink blender, pink coffee maker, and any other fun pink kitchen accessory or small appliance you can think of!  Does she not like pink? Do the gift in her favorite color!**

I’ll attach the document below for you to print out.  Just cut the recipe cards out, stack them on top of each other, and tie a ribbon around them.

The post Gift Idea For The Pink-Loving Baker appeared first on Summer Adams.

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!

{This post contains affiliate links for your shopping convenience. Click here to read my

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!

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!  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.

This post contains affiliate links for your shopping convenience.
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 square tags, click on THIS LINK and then on the picture of tags.  Print from browser.

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

Please remember, this is FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY! These are made by me and have © copyright protection.  Thank you!

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!

Just a few months ago, we moved into our new home as it was finished being built.  As we’ve settled in and have finished organizing and decorating rooms I’ve been revealing them to you here, one by one. Today I’m taking you into a room that’s all my own, where I create and think and write and plan and dream.  Join me as I reveal to you my blush and gold glam office!

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

This upstairs office is just next to our master bedroom and the only space upstairs with the same flooring as our downstairs.

For interior paint colors and flooring information, please read this post.

I kept my long white desk that we had back in our Dallas home.  It’s from IKEA and I love it because it’s so long that I can work on a couple of projects at once.  I can sew on it if I want to or pull out my small sewing folding table. (Note: I think they only make this desk in black/brown now and not white but you could prime and paint it. It’s a great piece!)

I wish I could find one as long as it but with drawers.

Until then, I have a vintage piece that I keep next to my desk, full of office supplies and holds my printer.

I once had these mirrored candle wall sconces (found at Tuesday Morning a couple of years ago) and this pretty chandelier canvas art by Oliver Gal called “Candelabro” in our living room back in our home in Dallas.

I like the subtle grey of the art blending with the wall and the gold and blush tones.  It was perfect for this blush and gold glam office!

HOW TO HIDE CORDS:

One of the most frequent problems of any office is how to conceal the router and cords so that everything looks tidy and beautiful.  For a couple of months I searched for pretty boxes to hide them in, as this was the only way with the style of desk I have and not much to hide it behind.  I already have many pretty boxes in my office but they weren’t large enough to put everything in.  I decided to grab a $5 white IKEA file box and use blush paint and water to create an ombré watercolor design.  It’s simple and it matches.  All the cords go through the back hole of the box.

I made sure everything on my desk was blush, gold, and white and pretty to look at.

Blush pens, pretty mugs, coordinating portfolios, pretty notebooks, candles and accessories.
And of course…there’s my favorite bow chair.
I’ll link all of these things at the end of the post in my “shop the post” section.

Remember this set-up from my office back in Dallas?  This “Press For Diet Coke” framed buzzer is back.

All you need are the items below to make your own and also the words printed on a piece of paper that fits in the frame.  Click on items to shop.

It gets soooo bright in my office but I love my view with the big windows.  I get to watch all the horses run around on the beautiful property next to us and I get to see the most beautiful sunsets out the back window.  I love having a lot of natural light in my office.  I would hate for it to feel like a dungeon.

This is a popular IKEA hack.  The Vittsjö shelving system is inexpensive, can be sprayed gold, and is a beautiful way to store things.

I keep a lot of files in boxes, rather than a filing cabinet.  I like the way it looks and is a prettier way to store important documents.  It also takes up less space.

I styled the shelves with not only pretty boxes of important files but also with pieces that are new to my online shoppe.

A darling print from Megan Hess framed.

I have a lovely collection of fashion books that I also keep here.

I also display jewelry on the top and one of my favorite prints that a friend gave me, trimmed in gold glitter and in a mirrored frame.

FREE PRINTABLE JUST FOR YOU!

I wanted a way to display this Audrey Hepburn quote, that I’ve always loved, and created this darling print on photoshop.  I thought you all might enjoy it too so I’m offering it as a free printable.

***To access printable file, click HERE.  Click on image and print from browser.
It’s an 8×10 size.  For personal use only!!!***

My favorite blush chair (originally shared in this post) also came with us from Dallas.  I like to call this my “instafamous blush chair” because this Nate Berkus-designed chair caught his eye on my Instagram feed (back when my IG name was “SheLeavesALittleSparkle”) and he even included it in his blog post.  You can read all about it HERE on Nate Berkus’ blog.

At a California Interior Designer’s warehouse sale back home, I found that lovely venetian-bordered mirror with gold distressing.  It’s really unique and I love the glam feel of it.  I knew it would be perfect above my chair.

 When I’m typing or creating something, I usually sit in my favorite bow chair at my desk.

If I’m going to be writing or editing a while, I like to sit in my blush chair.  I also like it because it’s a place my kids can come, or my hubby, and sit and talk to me while I’m in my office.

I looked and looked for a chandelier that felt right for this office.  I wanted crystals on it, more modern clean lines, and brass or gold metal.  I found it here.

A couple of years ago I wrote a blog post on DIY Framed Wallpaper Panels as a solution to a bare wall.  We were renting at the time, back in Dallas, and knew we’d be moving for my husband’s job but I really loved wallpaper.  So I made framed wallpaper panels (so easy) and loved how it turned out.

I enjoyed them but was looking for something new for this new office.  I tried fashion art in a collage and I tried several large pieces of art but in the end….nothing seemed quite right.  I pulled out the panels from my “for sale” pile in my garage and fell in love with them again.  I love the champagne and blush colors with the gold frames.

I sold 2 other pieces of furniture that just didn’t fit this office and didn’t give me the storage solution I wanted for all my crafty things, customer orders, and shipping supplies.  But I came across this vintage dresser being sold locally on Craigslist and knew it would be perfect.

I painted it and sprayed the vintage handles gold instead of replacing them because I thought they were so cool. Aren’t they pretty?!

A treat for visitors…because macarons and chocolates are the best treats. Don’t you wish you could reach through the screen right now and have one?  I wish you could too.  If you were here in person, I’d even make you a Dirty Diet Coke!

I found these lovely etagere end tables at Tuesday Morning a couple of years ago but I’m linking similar ones below.  They’re perfect for the sides of my large office window to help frame the room and add extra storage.

In the other corner is a lamp for a little extra night on those late nights.

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. Until then, because I LOVE all of my readers so much, I’m sharing free printable 2018 calendars in 2 different styles.

The post Free Printable 2018 Calendars – 2 Styles appeared first on Summer Adams.

A few months ago, I started offering free monthly calendars each month.  So many of you have given me such great feedback and love and appreciate these monthly calendars.  I’m tickled pink and so thrilled you love them and are using them!  I’ve also received some other great feedback.  You want them in advance so you can print them out and plan ahead.  I’m the same way!  Why didn’t I think of that sooner?  So, THANK YOU for speaking up!  I sure do love my readers!  Here are the 2017 Calendars – July through December so that you can print them out and plan the rest of your year.  I’m giving you a preview of each month in pictures below and then links to click on to download and print the pdf versions.  Also, I’m offering each month in a blush flower theme and also a blush heels theme.
