This old-fashioned blueberry buckle is bursting with fresh fruit and topped with a sweet, crumbly streusel. A timeless summer dessert that’s easy to make and always a hit! You can’t go wrong with blueberries can you! This is just summer to me.

Make dinner a breeze with this flavorful Italian roast recipe. It simmers all day in the slow cooker and comes out tender, juicy, and full of savory herbs. Perfect to make these sliders. I must make this for my family!

🌴 Coastal-Inspired Thankful Table

From Nellie’s Cozy Place
This calming beach-themed table is a beautiful blend of gratitude and coastal vibes. It’s a sweet reminder to savor the season with those you love most. Love the idea of using this for Father’s day and placing photos in the glass vases.


🧺 Thrifted Table Treasures

From Thrifting Wonderland
Take a peek at this pretty outdoor table created with a mix of thrifted finds and classic summer style. It’s a lovely example of how vintage pieces can come together to create a meaningful setting. These dishes remind me of my mom because she had a beautiful set of the same kind. I inherited some of her bowls that match these plates.

Karins Kottage Happenings

I have had the opportunity lately to work with Coldwater Creek and I am in love with this linen jacket. I have one in white but I am swooning over the navy and the deep purple. Linen is so perfect for summer. Here is a link to the linen jacket.

Oh and the drawstring pants are the most comfortable pants I own also from Coldwater Creek! Here is the link for the pants.

I sometimes use affiliate links on my blog. If you purchase an item, I make a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps me so much by allowing me to continue to provide free ideas for you. I appreciate your support so much!

Backyard Grilled Pizza birthday party

We had a blast celebrating our ten year old grandson! Theo turned 10 and wanted a pizza party for his family birthday. So we put together some fun simple decorations and I made some yummy pizza dough and we grilled the pizzas. Sooo good!! Recipe and links to the cute decor are here.
