The Jelly Between Your Toes

When I shop, I love hitting 3-4 stores and heading straight to all of the clearance shelves.  At Old Navy this weekend, these cute jellies were on sale for $4.49.  They're super comfy, in a neutral shade for matching everything, and what a great deal!

Arugula Dip

We had this dip for a snack at a picnic/concert tonight and it was a winner!

2 1/2 cups packed arugula
zest and juice from half a lemon
1/2 cup mayo
1 small garlic clove
pinch of red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp kosher salt


Place all in the blender and puree until smooth!

we enjoyed it with veggie chips.

Risotto with Bacon

Found this cool risotto package at World Market, made it according to the directions.  Added butter, Parm, and then cooked and crumbled bacon.

Put it in a thermos and voila! Lunch was made!

And it was so very tasty...

For Her Jewelry

My daughter bought this cute jewelry organizer at Target for her 4-year old, to organize the jewelry she inherited from her great-grandmother.  It's so cute!  Then a friend of mine also saw it, and went to buy one and noted the three colors - and that it was only $3!!!  (It's located in the front area of all the goodies under $5).

Pancake Bar

Have you thought of having a pancake bar for your kids this summer?

Here's how:

Using a countertop skillet, let the kids draw with the batter using little plastic bottles.

Provide bowls with toppings:  bananas, blueberries, strawberries, almonds, chocolate chips, m&ms, butter, whipped cream, and syrup.

They will love it!

Fun Finds!

I love to browse World Market.  Today these are two things we found that were so fun!

There was a display for Road Trips from earlier in the summer, and they were clearancing out the chips and drinks - so this bag of chips was like 40 cents and the drink was 14 cents!  Jackson Hole Huckleberry soda!

The summer toys were 50% off and we scored this cute wooden croquet set for kids!  Originally $44.99 so half off that!  EVERY kid should know how to play this classic game!

So fun...

Retro Camper Light!

I really love night lights, and I especially like changing them out in my bathrooms with the different seasons.

I stumbled upon this cute retro camper night light at Kirklands (comes in teal, as well) and it was on sale for five bucks!  There were a few other night lights for that price as well!

Isn't this cute?  (They have tabletops ones for $10)  You'll have to go in the store for this one below, as I don't see it on line.
