Summer DIY Project

One of the many benefits of having a summer break is the time it gives me to complete projects around the house! 

 This summer I chose to focus on our master bathroom.  The plan - paint, decorate, and get window treatments.  So...I found a DIY Roman Shade Project through Pinterest!

Thanks to my mom's help, this project turned out to be pretty easy and I already have plans to make one for our study! 

All you need:
fabric
mini-blinds (cheap from Walmart)
heat-n-bond
fabric glue

 Before
 After!
Now onto painting...I'll post those pictures later!

Date Night

Last night we had the BEST date night.

After church, we headed down to our favorite pizza place, Candelari's Pizzeria, located on Washington Ave.

Then we headed over to the Mucky Duck to see
 the Civil Wars play. 

We had such a wonderful time together and enjoyed great food, conversation, and wine!

I forgot my camera, so we only had our phones to take pictures with. 

Enjoy!

Driving to the concert...

Waiting outside before the concert started...

Rayland Baxter was the opening act.  We loved him and bought his CD!

Peaches

I have been eating A LOT of these lately.

There is nothing better than a ripe, juicy peach!

Peaches remind me of my Grandma.  

When we would visit her, she would always serve us peaches with Special K for breakfast and peaches with vanilla ice cream for dessert. 

For the past few weeks, peaches have been a part of my daily diet.  I can't get enough of them! 

So, I decided to make this for the 4th of July.



I can't begin to tell you how good these were. 

All you need is:
fresh peaches
crescent rolls
butter
sugar
cinnamon
mountain dew

This will definitely be my "go to" dessert to bring/make for Mexican dinner nights with friends and family!

On our way back from visiting our family in Dallas for the 4th, we even stopped by


 on the way home to buy a peck of peaches! 

 I'm planning on freezing most of them to use in smoothies.

  YUMMY!

I hope you get to enjoy some peaches too this summer!
