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.

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.

And just like that….May is gone!  It’s the last day of May so it’s time to print out your June 2017 printable calendar that I have for you today.  Not only is it free (personal use only please) but I’m also including some digital inspirational graphics and tech wallpaper for you.

Last month, I had a cute pair of heels on the calendar.  In sticking with the blush theme but also thinking of summer time, what cuter thing is there than a flamingo pool float on this month’s calendar? Here’s what it looks like.

Isn’t that too fun?!

That’s just to preview.  TO DOWNLOAD AND PRINT, click HERE.

Ok, I thought of another fun idea as well…..

The flower from April’s calendar and the Valentino heels from May’s calendar were very popular.  So, I decided to offer 3 different versions of the calendar each month.  You can pick the fun flamingo calendar above (this fun monthly-themed calendar will change each month) or you can download and print off the flower June calendar (that will also be available each month)…

TO DOWNLOAD AND PRINT this flower June calendar, click HERE.

Or you can also print out the heels calendar (below) each month.

TO DOWNLOAD AND PRINT this heels June calendar, click HERE.

So you have 3 fabulous calendars to choose from.  And because you know I love inspirational graphics, you get one this month to go along with the flamingo pool float.

This first one is a 5×7 print you can download and print HERE.

Below is an 8×10 you can download and print HERE.  Wouldn’t this make a cute gift to give a friend or to your daughter?  I’ve always loved this simple saying and I just love flamingoes.

For your iPhone or Android, here is a tech wallpaper below.
Just right-click and save to your phone and then set it to your home screen on your phone.

I don’t know about y’all, but looking at this cute flamingo pool float makes me want to get out in the pool.  I think I’ll put on my swimsuit and head out there.

I hope you enjoy these and I hope you have some fun summer plans that include many days at the beach or pool!

Thanks so much for stopping by and grabbing your freebies!  I would so appreciate it if you pinned it to Pinterest (hover over picture for the “pin it” button to show up) or shared it on Facebook!

The post Free April 2017 Printable Calendar appeared first on Summer Adams.

It’s almost February which means my next favorite holiday will arrive soon after…Valentine’s Day! I’ve said it for years….I love LOVE! I love celebrating those that I love and mean so much to me. Josh and I are really good about going out on dates regularly, meeting for lunch, and taking vacations alone (in between family vacations with our children). But on Valentine’s Day, we make sure to spend it with our children and celebrate as a family. So many parents I’ve talked to say that it sounds like a fun idea but are not sure how to make it a fun family tradition. Well, today I’m solving that problem and bringing together some of my favorite Interior & Lifestyle Bloggers, that also happen to be some of the sweetest and most talented mothers, to share with you 11 Kids Valentine’s Party Ideas to do at home. What a FUN tour, right?! Make sure to get your fingers ready to tap and pin each of these posts to Pinterest.

Welcome to my friends who regularly visit AND big welcome to those of you visiting for the first time and are coming from Erin at Sunny Side Up. Didn’t you just love Erin’s ideas? She is darling and always so creative and talented. I love the warmth and love that oozes out of each blog post of hers.

Today I’m sharing a fun idea we had to go a little retro and have a “Soda Shoppe Valentine’s Family Night”. I had something completely different to share with all of you and THEN my son, Beckham, said something about Mommy growing up in the old-fashioned days and wondered if we had colored TV’s. You should have seen the look on my face! I was born in the late 70’s so….yes, we had colored television. I told him that he was referring to the 50’s and since he clearly didn’t know much about the 50’s, one of my favorite eras ever, it was a no-brainer what this Valentine family night’s theme needed to be. You bet your bottom dollar that I turned on Grease and played the soundtrack as quickly as I could. It was swell! ;-p

I wanted to use everything we had and not spend much. I only purchased a few little fun things. We had poodle skirts (I’ve got them ready to go at all times ha ha), we had a vintage tea cart and soda glasses, and we had some vinyl records from another project I did. So we just needed food and music and games and we were set! And instead of using our Dining Room, I decided to keep it quaint and stay in our kitchen nook, on our little round white table. It seemed more fitting somehow.

Oh, I should point out that even though all 4 of us were present, my husband passed on the photo ops for this party and stayed with me behind the camera and, while I had my poodle skirt on, I opted out of being photographed because I’ve got a horrible cold and it shows. You’d thank me, if you could only see me ha!

I grabbed some old vinyl records that I’d purchased at The Salvation Army a while ago for $1 each and used them as chargers. I’ve had red and heart plates that I’ve collected over the years and heart napkins as well. I kept this party simple and ran to Whataburger because I thought that the whataburger menu was better than most of the other fast food places around (it’s a Texas favorite but you can also choose In-N-Out). I grabbed some burgers and fries, just the way we like ’em.

I used a small cake stand from the Target Dollar Spot for the middle of my table to act as a pedestal for my retro diner menu and salt & pepper shakers.

I’m sharing this FREE PRINTABLE I created on Photoshop for this retro diner menu with you (for personal use only, copyright laws apply). I found the sign for less than $2 at IKEA and they always carry them.

One of the things I had to order (because they added so much and were just sooooo cute) were these Classic Pink Cadillac Party Food Boxes and placed a box of chocolates in them for each member of our family. You could also add cookies or popcorn or candy, etc. They are so fun, aren’t they?! Included is the cute checkered tissue paper.

No 50’s diner would be complete without Coca Cola bottles and milkshakes. While I had intended to make strawberry milkshakes, we had some strawberry Fanta soda and vanilla ice cream so I just made these yummy Strawberry Soda Floats. Easy peasy and sooooo yummy!

As far as milkshakes go, I grabbed some yummy cupcakes from my grocery bakery and added chocolate syrup, maraschino cherries, and cut off part of a red-striped paper straw to look like a milkshake. Milkshake cupcakes….that’s what we’re calling them and they were terrific.

This vintage tea cart has made an appearance over and over in our family parties and we use it often to entertain or to hold our hot cocoa bar (search hot cocoa bar or tea cart on my blog to see all the ways I’ve used it).

Iam so glad I had it for my Soda Shoppe Valentine’s Family Night. After dinner, we grabbed those chocolate graham crackers off the bottom shelf of the cart and all the fun candies and we made…..

….LOVE SHACKS!! (cue music) Oh, and of course our “jukebox” (a.k.a. Alexa, our Amazon Echo) was playing all of our my favorite 50’s music that I created on a playlist. Mixing a little water with powdered sugar until it’s really thick makes the perfect “cement” to put together your Love Shack.

While Brooklyn was trying for a more traditional look, Beckham had had enough and went for a more adobe-looking Love Shack….like something we’ve driven past on our drives through New Mexico. Ha! Let’s face it…all they care about is finishing it so that they can pick off the candy or eat the leftover candy. But it was so fun.

While the game Twister may have not been invented until the 60’s, it was a retro game that I know my kids love and laugh hysterically over, as they try to cheat and knock over the other person. We had to bring it out. Please tell me if this sounds familiar!

Of course, NO party is a successful party in The Adams’ Home without a dance party. The sun was setting too so it was the perfect time for a sock hop!

Aaaaaaand….they are gonna kill me one day for sharing this, I’m sure, but I can’t help myself.

Our playlist for the night included the soundtrack from Grease and also many songs from this list I found online. Oh! And “Love Shack” of course! These 50’s tunes are PERFECT for a retro Valentine’s Party!

Here are the items or similar items used that I’ve linked below for your shopping convenience and to help re-create this Soda Shoppe Valentine’s Family Night.

The post Soda Shoppe Valentine’s Family Night appeared first on Summer Adams.

Welcome!  Grab a cup of tea and pull cup a chair for today’s posts (and get your pinning Pinterest finger ready haha).

As I started off this new year, a few weeks ago, I made resolutions (like we all do) and also wrote down things I wanted to learn how to do and goals I wanted to achieve.  It got me thinking about what a big year 2015 was and all that I learned.  We had a LOT of fun too!  So I went back through my blog and decided to share with you the posts that were YOUR favorite!

1.  Dirty Diet Coke 101  Some of you had never heard of my FAVORITE drink.  I gave you the recipe and a fun, free printable to gift your friends and your feedback was so fun!  I’m glad I can share my love (aka addiction) of Diet Coke with you and an added kick.

2.  “14 Days of Valentines” have begun!   Valentine’s Day, as well as the 13 other days leading up to it, is one of my most favorite times of year.  I LOVE love!  I’m a hopeless romantic.  I also love making it fun and full of reminders for my kids that we love them so much.  Sharing my 14 days with you and what our tradition is was something everyone loved.  If you search all my Valentine’s printables, you will find that I’ve made a BUNCH and they are FREE for you to enjoy as well!

3.  Have Courage & Be Kind  The new Cinderella movie was not only one of my favorite classics remade, and remade well!  But it brought a reminder for all of us to be a little kinder and braver and to stand up for what is right; to stand up for ourselves.  I shared a heart-warming experience with my daughter that a lot of you related to.  Thank you for your feedback.  This has been one of our most-pinned and most-visited posts and has circulated Pinterest and Facebook.

4.  Knock-off Swig Cookie Recipe  If you haven’t had a Swig pink sugar cookie, you are missing out!  The St. George original has made national, even global recognition and I share the perfectly exact recipe.  I love how many tags and texts I received that people were making them and LOVING every bite.

5.  Sneak Peek!  As we moved from one side of town to the other, I gave you a sneak peek into my new home (aka a really cute rental while we are living here in Vegas) and showed you that you can spend little money but with a good eye and organization and sticking to neutrals, your rental house can feel like a cozy home.  Thank you all for your generous feedback!

6. DIY Wooden Box Centerpiece  One of my personal favorite DIY projects AND apparently yours too!  I love all your pictures after you’ve followed the plans and instructions for this fun and easy project!  Everyone needs a wooden box that they can change up all throughout the year with flowers and candles, pinecones, etc.

7. MINT To Stay Strong  As a friend of mine successfully finished her rounds of chemotherapy, she approached me and asked me if I’d be willing to make a cute thank you tag along these lines that she could give all of her fellow chemo friends that would be there continuing their treatments after she left.  It was so thoughtful of her and I was honored to do this.  SOOO MANY OF YOU have touched my heart with your connection to this and being able to use this as well.  I’m so glad and I hope this finds you well and healthy!

8.  Easy DIY Hall Tree  My solution to covering such an awkward built-in alcove was fun for us all!  I shared how EASY and AFFORDABLE this was to put together.  And…It can be unscrewed and taken with you to your next home!  Isn’t it fun to share our projects with one another?!  This hall tree has been a topic of conversation many times when people come to our home and fun to switch up for each season and holiday.

9.  Master Bath DIY Shelving  Another popular solution to an awkward space in my home!  Every morning I wake up and look at it and am sooooo grateful I did this!  Thanks for enjoying it with me and being inspired to make your own!

10.  Chalk Painting Upholstered Furniture  Ok, this is one of my very favorites!!!  It was a sentimental and gorgeous piece, easy, and STUNNING transformation!  It’s been really fun to see this one circulate all over social media.  THANK YOU for sharing and I’m thrilled that it motivated you to try it out for yourself!

11.  Ice Skates Christmas Decor   Hands down my FAVORITE craft this year!  And boy did we all have fun with this one on Instagram as my friend Rhonda and I (check out her gorgeous blog and online store at Hailstorm Home) shared our ice skates we made and invited everyone to go #iceskatingintotheholidays with us and share all their ice skates and other Christmas decor with us.  Such a blast and can’t wait for next year!

12.  Mini Gingerbread House Mug Huggers We all got a kick out of this one!  NONE of us wanted to buy the cute Anthropologie version of these for $10 but we all wanted them haha!  So, I figured it out and uploaded my template.  It was hard at first but after having the template it was a piece of cake and soooo cute!  Friends loved these as gifts, too, around the holidays in a hot cocoa mug.

THANK YOU for following along with me as I share a part of my life with you!  It’s been fun learning together and hearing your feedback!  Best wishes to another great year and MANY fun projects and memories made in your home!

xoxo, Summer
