So last year we started making 'seasonal bucket lists' as a family. This is the records of our seasonal adventures, crafts, recipes, and more. I hope that this can help you and your family enjoy each season.
For everything there is a season,
a time for every activity under heaven.

I personally do not want to be thinking about back to school already. Last week (Which was still JUNE) our local Target was already putting out the school supplies. They didn't even wait till after 4th of July!! The truth of the matter is we are less than a month away from the local public school being back in session (The local public schools start Aug 1st). Even our homeschool co-op starts back on Aug 9th. Boo... So I put together this back to school checklist so that you can make the most of what's left of the summer.<br />

I've always enjoyed canning each season. This year I wanted to try my grandmother's old fashion strawberry jam recipe. I had always been afraid to try it. I've been told that if you don't do everything JUST right, it might not set up. Fortunately, it's super simple and easy to do everything 'just right'. I had a copy of my grandmother's recipe that my great aunt had typed up on a typewriter. It was so basic I had to have my mother 'translate it'. The original recipe read: "1 pkg berries, 5 cup water. Cook... 5 cups juice, 1 pkg surjel, 7cups sugar. boil juice add surjel. boil. add sugar boil 3 min." Needless to say, I needed a little more instruction than that <i>(Not to mention how much <a href="http://gram.ly/ph94" target="_blank">Grammarly</a> hates the above recipe. LOL)</i>. Fortunately for you, the FULL instructions are below ;)<br />
<br />
<h2>
Ingredients</h2>
<ul>
<li>1pt. Strawberries (Or other berries if you'd like a different flavor)</li>
<li>5 Cups Water</li>
<li>1 Package of <a href="http://amzn.to/29Md2fc" target="_blank">Sure-Jell</a></li>
<li>7 Cups Sugar</li>
</ul>
<br />

Directions <span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><i> </i></span></span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><i>(FYI: I made a quad batch, so the pictures below may not look like the same quantity as yours)</i></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Prepare your jars by boiling or running through the dishwasher. Full instructional <a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_5313738_prepare-cans-amp-jar-lids.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>
<br />

<br />
<br />
2. Remove the stems from Strawberries. (I just cut the tops off to remove the less than ripe areas.)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Strawberries and Water" border="0" height="508" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMbgY_CRZWybCNEe_EzO7yqDPq_4D85_Jmx66hC2KyGpO6uS-SnnEHSnbrDascwN0Ngh1fwiG8W08J6ahoA6exIO3EiTU933VXAEWNp1NwJ6LyHYx-RQSPS1gDqUkhHKXeGLpseD-TmLED/s640/2.jpg" title="Old Fashion Strawberry Jam Recipe" width="640" /></div>
3. Put the water and berries in a pot and boil until the berries easily fall apart The strawberries will lose a lot of their color and look almost light pink, but the water will be bright red. <i>Optional: You can use a potato smasher to smash the berries a little bit so you don't have chunks int your strawberry jam.</i><br />
<br />

4. Add Sure-jell and boil about 2 min.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Old Fashion Strawberry Jam Recipe" border="0" height="378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2H1r7Xs735p-vgPo-thgRa6LqHWjxeLaPf8M6kVuESQQJcdThNn_LCDNnST71XE2WySNA2T-2sdA3KzCn_p__abbaI1AbbRCsV5ouwFbx0W-Ia6e84pDCRhp4ZuvMS238aLbIB8tovigf/s400/4.jpg" title="Old Fashion Strawberry Jam Recipe" width="400" /></div>
5. Add Sugar 1 cup at a time and stir between cups. Boil an additional 3 min. A thin "film" of jelly should form on your spoon after you've stirred. This means it'll set.<br />
<br />
6. Funnel into jars and fill them to about 1/4" from the rim. My MUST have canning tool is the <a href="http://amzn.to/29kVwjt" target="_blank">canning funnel</a> from Ball.<span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-size: xx-small;">While that is an affiliate link, I was kicking myself in the tush for not getting mine sooner and highly recommend it!!</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Old Fashion Strawberry Jam Recipe" border="0" height="438" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4LpqNUZQosZ_CJnIPEiFnXZcDBTjiQ5PbR5dzozoZeBfH5n8uIBh5zmt1n3uSKOrIH0NFDfYMxOlYKgn4I4URy_FNbMqU90dS24SwU8p7RlrfPlkN96Gt2_xaoxWFRPiwdpynmV7kaq5t/s640/JAM.jpg" title="Old Fashion Strawberry Jam Recipe" width="640" /></div>
7. There are technically 3 ways to 'finish' the jars.<br />
<ol>
<li>Cold pack with a water bath. Instructions <a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_5652685_cold-pack-canning.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</li>
<li>Add a layer of <a href="http://amzn.to/29uK6fy" target="_blank">Paraffin Wax</a></li>
<li>Boil lids, then close jars and let them seal as they cool. (I love to hear the 'pop' as they seal)</li>
</ol>
Personally, my family has always used option #3. As long as the jars seal you can store them in a cool place for 12-24 months.<br />
<br />
I wanted to see just how much making my own jam/jelly would save our family. Little Lady eats a lot of PB&Js. This recipe cost me about $1/jar if prepared during strawberry season (less if you already have jars and are just reusing them). In our area, strawberry jam is between $2.50 and $4. So I figured I can save ~$50+ per batch. Plus don't get me started on the preservatives you're not adding. ;) I hope you enjoy my grandmother's old fashion strawberry jam as much as I have over the years.<br />
<br />
This recipe can also be used with Blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, just about any fruit/berry you want.<br />

You bet ya! This is an unexpected way to add some sparkle to your firework art.<br />

<br />
I first saw firework salt art on <a href="http://busymommymedia.com/firework-salt-painting" target="_blank">busymommymedia.com</a> She uses watercolor paints. I opted to go a different route and add a little extra.<br />

<img alt="Firework Salt Art" border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoIA4-rolQne9GhG8ITIGAaph-B0xuWeEFhrDaqcN8VNe-V1w4YstKzBlYIK54jnEW5POB1knmVA2Ij6zK3D3s2WSarbgupGENZpj8D_FE6zi_MopgHUpCRKxielnNXMYOFna35bdsZls6/s640/2.jpg" title="Firework Salt Art" width="640" /></div>
*Make sure you work on a cookie sheet so you don't get salt and food coloring everywhere.*<br />
1.Using the white glue, 'draw' fireworks. The trick to this is to <u>not</u> use straight lines: otherwise, it looks like a funny snowflake.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Firework Salt Art" border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLEyTIau159cyn7JIAv8bMW32JLH5hKZQdg9YxmxgF6ZDdPrjU30yTwKEHA3nn6G6afFSJHeuvzUXvA6hsQpy9V3pRBKwdP8sNFIwfxyCY1Uwrim_52qdcQT8d1eV6ZpQlL4C_dP_oQFV4/s640/3.jpg" title="Firework Salt Art" width="640" /></div>
2. Cover in salt and shake off the excess.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Firework Salt Art" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhakZrAdhtk16r1nZK4Ey6acp_1dz8eYt8QlngFgXehxkpPIqk2hsk9wM5JZW0el4XQMi66yOI_hlPn6l5K7XmdFUKBvs6qTjaEXLmoniU-SmJQH_U-V3C9i9DetBmP72u6cOciVBrtxI7r/s640/5.jpg" title="Firework Salt Art" width="640" /></div>
3. Using the eyedropper, color the salt with food coloring. I like using the eyedropper as you don't have to worry about brushing away too much salt. (If I had this to do over I would dilute the food coloring a little so it's not so dark.)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Firework Salt Art" border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeriSY8i-ZjzOFyhsonLumf2D5tumNNGvWdIYUdQckhG0fL0AMccbZoDvMR0wZjfkKiqtcfabc9yZjiol9Ro_TcGgNn4j8l6ETt32vkhIn0V3lxNXxYLP3nw4A5ShJ2QJZVvGJPoaXFrrF/s400/6.jpg" title="Firework Salt Art" width="400" /></div>
4. Here's my extra step: Since the eye dropper method left these super wet and dark, we sprinkled some salt over the painted fireworks then GENTLY shook off the excess.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
That made the finished product perfect!!<br />

All 3 of my kids (ages 3-13) enjoyed this project. Rosey Posey even asked to do more. (OMG! My teenager enjoyed spending time with me!!)<br />
<br />
You can use all sorts of colors on your firework salt art. As you can see we went with a patriotic theme, but these are even more gorgeous with all sorts of colors. And the salt gives the firework salt art an extra sparkle that I would have never expected from something I put on my potatoes.<br />
Anyone else used such a strange art medium?<br />

I know I may be a little bias, but this really is one of the best BBQ sauce recipes I've found. My brother spent a few year perfecting it. It's the perfect mix between a Kansas City and North Carolina sauce.<br />

While browsing my favorite site, Pinterest, I found a cute 4th of July hair bow idea <a href="http://www.bombshellbling.com/firecracker-bows/" target="_blank">here</a>. I decided to make my own with a few changes to make them even easier. My hair bow tutorial below can be used for any season / color, not just for 4th of July.<br />
<br />

Supplies</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://amzn.to/29hpUK2" target="_blank">5-10 different rolls of thin ribbon</a></li>
<li><a href="http://amzn.to/28YMVjA" target="_blank">2 hair ties</a></li>
<li><a href="http://amzn.to/28YNwkZ" target="_blank">Scissors</a></li>
<li><i><a href="http://amzn.to/28YFD0A" target="_blank">Frey check</a> (Optional, but recomended if you're makeing bows for daily use)</i></li>
</ul>

<h2>
Instructions</h2>
1. Cut your ribbon into ~7" strips. The quick way to do this is to wrap the ribbon around your spread fingers, then cut ONE side of the loop. Contenue untill you have ~20 ribbons.<br />
<br />

2. If you intend on using the bows for daily ware, I recomend using frey check on each tip. (Little Lady will only be wearing these for 4th of July, so I skipped this step)<br />

3. Attach each ribbon to the hair tie by using a cow hitch knot. Don't freek out because of the name, it's easier than it sounds:<br />

5. Pull up in pigtails and have fun!!<br />
<br />
The hardest part of this hair bow tutorial was getting Little Lady to hold still while I fixed her hair: a daily struggle. (BTW, if you have any tips for that, please share!!) She loves her new hair bows and I think they are absolutly cute! It took me less than 30 min to make both hair bows.<br />

Most of the time I don't have any trouble getting my kids to eat their vegetables. But lately Little Lady has been eating less and I worry that she's not getting everything she needs. I love having frozen Go-gurts on hand for them to enjoy all summer. My homemade yogurt pops are easy enough to make that adding some veggies was the perfect way to get a little extra into the kids' diet.<br />

Both Bubee and Little Lady loved theirs. Neither could even tell there were veggies in them. The fruit and veggie combinations really are endless. It took me less than 30 min to make 4 different flavors of homemade yogurt pops. I think next time I will make a large batch of 1 flavor at a time. Either way, the kids love my homemade yogurt pops with hidden veggies!<br />
<br />
What flavors will you try?<br />

I've seen chalk rockets a couple different places on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/atimeforseasons/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> and knew this was a must do this summer! There's a lot of science behind these that is a great lesson for older kids or just lots of fun for the younger ones to watch.<br />

<h2>
Instructions </h2>
1. Put a HEAPING tsp of cornstarch in each canister. This doesn't have to be measured exactly, but should fill approximately 1/4 of each canister. Add ~6 drops of food coloring.<br />
<br />
2. Add water till the canister is 3/4 full.<br />
<br />
3. Replace the lid and shake till well mixed. Some of the canister will leak a little, so shake them outside or over a sink.<br />

<i><b>IMPORTANT NOTE</b>: Some food colors will stain, so be sure to wear clothes you don't mind staining and use on a surface you don't mind staining. </i><br />
<br />
These chalk rockets are so much fun! Other than the canisters, this is a project that you should already have most everything. The nice thing is the canisters they are reusable, so once you purchase them this is a fairly inexpensive activity to do over and over again!!<br />

Bubee had a blast too and stayed bug free with this <a href="http://amzn.to/1Qeeutc" target="_blank">Mosquito Repellent Patch</a>.I love that it contains all natural lemon, eucalyptus, and essential oils and is DEET-free. Plus there's nothing to spray!</div>

<h2>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">1. Book in Advance</b></b></h2>
I know plenty of people who get great last minute deals on cruises and airfare. They book days to a few weeks in advance and save hundreds. Itās truly the most economical way to travelā¦..unless you are traveling to a Disney Resort. The last minute deal phenomenon doesnāt exist in the land of the mouse. This is predominantly because Disney doesnāt have a problem filling rooms and therefore doesnāt need to offer last minute deals to sell unused space. Most Disney resorts book up around 6 weeks in advance in the busy season, and more and moreā¦itās becoming as if there is ONLY a busy season at Disney! Also, the promotions and sales that Disney does offer book up and sell out very quickly. They also time out, you could book the exact same package just a day after a promo expires and end up spending hundreds more. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Disney has so many family-friendly lodging options, from standard rooms for a small party of 2-4 people all the way up to two bedroom villas that can accommodate larger parties. There are three categories of Disney resorts, the value options offer standard rooms and family suites in a low-frill cost-effective environment that still offers lots of Disney magic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The moderate resorts offer larger rooms and beds, a little more luxury and theming but still come at a moderately affordable price point. If you are in the market for true luxury, the deluxe resorts offer modern upgrades, concierge services, signature dining and excellent park transportation options.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The benefits of staying on property are almost endless. All Disney resort guests have access to extra magic hours, the Disney transportation system, early dining and Fastpass reservation windows and each resort guest receives a<br />
Magic Band, which is Disneyās amazing new technology that allows you to keep all of your reservation information stored on a waterproof wristband. With the tap of your wrist, you can enter the park, clear the Fastpass line, pay for merchandise and even open your hotel door! Disney also has all sorts of other perks for resort guests such as free package delivery, free airport transportation and on-line check in.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">3. Plan in Advance</b></h2>
Unless you are truly a Disney parks veteran, a Disney vacation is not a āfly by the seat of your pantsā event.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The resort is massive, with four parks to explore. Fastpass and dining reservations are crucial to a low-stress vacation, and these need to be made well in advance of your travel dates.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you want to eat a meal at a table service restaurant, you have to have reservations as most table service restaurants stay booked year round. You simply cannot walk up and get a table at Cinderellaās castle or any of the other fabulous dining locations Disney has to offer. </div>

<h2>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">4. Use the Fastpass System</b></h2>
I am always blown away by the amount of people I see approaching cast members in the park asking them about purchasing Fastpass. Disney offers fastpass+ free of charge to all park ticket holders, this system allows you to choose three experiences each day that you get to either skip the line (rides and character meets) or have reserved seating for (shows, parades, and fireworks). Resort guests get a 30-day jump on reservations, which is a huge perk because available passes for the popular events book up very quickly. Itās important to familiarize with park layouts before booking Fastpass times, you donāt want to book yourself into options that have you crossing the park two or three times for each experience!</div>

<h2>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">5. Know your Party</b></h2>
Some families can operate on a āwe will sleep when weāre deadā philosophy, this is the kind of family I grew up in. No sleeping in or mid-day breaks for us, we are getting every minute of joy out of this vacation! And if that works for your party, then thatās greatā¦.soak it up baby, thereās plenty of magic to fill every minute! But for many groups, especially those with small children, this isnāt a realistic expectation for a Disney vacation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The parks are huge and require herculean amounts of walking. They are very stimulating and usually very hot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Small kids and older adults often need a few hours mid-day to go back to the room and rest or take a dip in the pool. The middle part of the day is typically the hottest and most crowded, itās worth the sacrifice of a few hours to enjoy the remainder of your day. Nobody wants to try to negotiate with a hot, hungry and tired toddler at 3 pm, or as we veteran like to call itā¦āthe witching hour.ā Itās also a really great idea to familiarize yourself with some of the attractions so you donāt end up traumatizing your child at the most magical place on earth. Do you have a toddler that is prone to nightmares? Fantasmic is not the show for you, my friend. Does your 6-year-old get upset in very dark areas or by loud noises??? You need to steer clear of āItās Tough to be a Bug.ā Itās easy to make the call on high thrill rides that have steep drops or go upside down, but even some of the seemingly kid-friendly attractions can be upsetting for some children. So know your kids, know the attractions and donāt force them into anything that could be a questionable experience for them.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">6. Dress Appropriately</b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b></h2>
<br />
Disney parks are not the time for high fashion. Keep in mind that this is a place where you will see adult men wearing hats shaped like Goofyās head. The key to choosing outfits here is "comfort". You need comfortable shoes, first and foremost. The average park guest walks upwards of 13 miles per day. Also, keep in mind the temperature, central Florida is hot around 95% of the year. Shorts and t-shirts are a good call, but make sure you use your sunscreen! You should also be prepared for rain, pack some dollar store ponchos in your park bag. Put extras socks in there as well, and if you are traveling with kids, a change of clothes is never a bad idea.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Trace Hand" border="0" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh35q4ftJ-YNXLV4-f3efK6EtSfYuI1RrANhMXsFBg49sdLkP6gA9zebHm5oWc3VhWOkTv1NeN-od4UjBMPynJ4gg6g3oY_6Hjs1DjrT6pB_8gUc6-C7xBRFUZRTdfGjXJG3KEtOyve9uPk/s400/2.jpg" title="DIY Father's Day T-Shirt" width="400" /></div>
<br />
1. Trace your child(ren)'s hand onto the contact paper.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Hands and Scissors" border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwDO2qeSy9T4JTmbUzpMskQy_2l6GooCyIgDrI4GeKxPPGPc2IRWbNFsGVf1XdtnG_-IVCgT8rIJXZAUDIQvSciJkemLbaYm5pPXxn0qLxcG-GyMstN7QQZvlL8w9WQIgpgSmq4sXYSq3i/s640/3.jpg" title="DIY Father's Day T-Shirt" width="640" /></div>
2. Cut out hand(s)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="apply hands" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdWidhLlmBPFAzwngAVIrVPRYRz8c2MtT7_mK_uLBKLw3mFfQ8QL7ymmJgB_ccj4vgClA-GecPFhjhLg03bc7alzKk4xI4Xzgn7zXUz4I0WZQ9IfrHzK8daDMj7sixeOQqvahFVakcGOUY/s400/4.jpg" title="DIY Father's Day T-Shirt" width="398" /></div>
3. Apply your contact paper hands to the t-shirt. Make sure you press the edges down well or the bleach will bleed. (I confess that I had Chris try the shirt on while I positioned Little Lady's hand. I wanted it over his heart but not under his beard.)<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Protect shirt" border="0" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwbV7qjC1Qi5v2IfkEw1iRlevnU0DX5yIFCWscUzKyzOexyhsiE0bftaffB3YswXVAkoaDp5KVBm11zmdfLUpqLRl-LnV33JPo3BMzQjn44tKbflHJTirUY-s5_518bLw03II2uCyByXvk/s400/5.jpg" title="DIY Father's Day T-Shirt" width="400" /></div>
<br />
4. If putting prints on both the front and back, protect the hand prints by putting cardboard in the t-shirt, or like me: turn inside out, put contact paper on the hand areas, turn right side out again.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Spray Bleach" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2jc1aKfy6xezLESFcbY5XeyW6CeoHcWxGr7kWkzsK63Jd9Muu-Ne2WUuU_qsCd9md-leN9yjcqcZmQl56rO3DlodDDHDA7NGsaPLpQP8XjkQKSQfEEEsYhDXq-0-aphweLsZgRWbVMNf2/s400/6.jpg" title="DIY Father's Day T-Shirt" width="300" /></div>
5. This would be easiest outside where nothing can be hurt by the bleach. Unfortunately it's been raining so much around here, that I opted to use the spare shower. Hang the t-shirt up and mist with bleach. You can see the effect pretty quickly.<br />
<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Back</div>
<br />
6. I wanted an abstract look with most of the shirt covered. You may
decide less is more. If you're cover the whole shirt, be sure to get it
in all creases: including the armpits. Also lookout for a 'dividing
line' where the shirt naturally folds in half along the sleeves and
torso.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

7. Leave the contact paper on and wash according to the t-shirts directions. Take the contact paper off (If it didn't come off in the wash) and dry in dryer. (FYI: The large pieces of contact paper were easy to retrieve from my washing machine and did fine. Just don't forget and put them in the dryer)<br />

This is a very practical Father's Day gift. It's a great work shirt because hey, it's already stained. Or it's a great sentimental piece to wear with pride. A great variation on this project would be to use a bleach pen and add dates or names to the hand prints. <br />
<br />
Don't give dad another tie for Father's Day. This Father's Day DIY T-shirt will last for years and remind him of the little hands that touched his Heart.<br />

I love summer and in Atlanta, we usually push temps to the 90s and sometimes even into the triple digits. When Rosey Posey asked me to pick up some goodies for her infused water bottle, I thought it would be nice to just make my own Infused Ice Cubes (No fancy water bottle needed). This is super easy!<br />

<h2>
Instructions</h2>
<br />
1. Cut the fruit and herbs into small enough pieces to fit in your ice cube tray.<br />
2. Add water. (I had to push the mint down till it soaked up some water otherwise, it floated)<br />
3. Freeze.<br />
4. Pop the infused ice cubes into a cup, add water and enjoy.<br />
<br />
These infused ice cubes are also great in tea or your favorite cocktail. They are perfect for a hot summer day and so easy to make, you'll enjoy pampering yourself and your guests all summer long.<br />

This dress is easy, quick and perfect for summer. Using pre-smocked material I'll show you just how easy this no-sew dress is to make.<br />

I don't mind sewing, but we don't have a designated craft/sewing room and sometimes I just don't feel like dragging the sewing machine out and taking over the dining room table. So whenever I can do an easy no-sew project, I jump at the chance. While searching for material for a Perry the Platypus tail, I came across some really cute pre-smocked material in Little Lady's favorite color: Purple. I just knew she needed a new summer dress!<br />

<img alt="Measuring material" border="0" height="326" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis8vKzWjBI5O22P0uSYM6J3uNLwM4CBN9Lc8O6OjjQRh9aOuFwl_2MFSgOhF8YjCSa0nGNlFn05E49yBx6g5GAXqQ3ptdPvgHRTStBhv8hfQGHCLyRKQwQ8KtiJmbZY5foO5eUbU6he8BP/s400/2.jpg" title="Easy No-Sew Summer Dress" width="400" /></div>
1. Measure your material. You can use a measuring tape or just wrap the material around your model. Either way, make sure you leave yourself an extra inch to work with (ie. Model's chest measures 21", then cut your material 22") . Be sure to measure the pre-smocked side, not the flat side. ;)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Iorning bonding to summer dress" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmCaM_M_1KeRSPsaQ305I1qmNJBIf2LRJpxQOLySaN5SbWLQa1Iy3baalP4Kv0NL2zMvRJi8gAIThrlg1kXVPnEdfY6QYRAMx0ouqLyeGrh_7lD2thWhn1kdTlOeXz3x5Td5bxE6QEo7ZI/s640/3.jpg" title="Easy No-Sew Summer Dress" width="490" /></div>
2. Following the bonding manufacture's instructions, iron a strip to the edge of the PRINTED side of the material. I found it easiest to use 2 strips: one on the flat sections and one on the pre-smocked section. (See the 'seam')<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="pining material" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgR-w_rO1HvWUaKN3y0-01uVB8o3bICxC3nRUWAIoVA6iHoq-MFnXIxurd5HmUuLLJ0JldMR2u6oPTWlhkX4lmMV914GMeg-bMTHxltGWkrOOiXbc0k53C9a4gB-05qS2GRrjC-x8Ih_2o/s640/4.jpg" title="Easy No-Sew Summer Dress" width="480" /></div>
3. Put the other edge on top so that you have the printed sides facing each other. Pin in place to make it easier to iron.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="finished seam" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgajYl4KOAxB0aWtCEuOrEiKMeAXa6QV7kx9ahciyCnpINWvNjqXqbwbfczC5aYW9HVN8LObQ9HlWruvexuLlw1YwBvCsuP0wvbAluqNsqu_FtpBuR1ghWkiSaxmyK0gjEQQvSnYfWMjLH7/s640/5.jpg" title="Easy No-Sew Summer Dress" width="542" /></div>
4. Iron together according to the bonding manufacture's instructions. LET IT COOL! Then, turn right side out. Some bondings will not hold until they are cool. The pre-smocked material can easily pull it apart if you don't let it fully cool. So make sure you let it cool.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Strap measurments" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvFCr7D1LmZvkpEtCHiWL9pzWPALMGBl6jMTRJXaLkgdQEuyEmbtu9502cUGXzdOZ4MOZx8u2zKJXukFAW5124u57zUOiOJIW-MoOcvtuE34vPn4FU8ror39-HGpN17NrF4F3oOYFVylSN/s640/6.jpg" title="Easy No-Sew Summer Dress" width="640" /></div>
5. Using the leftover material, cut two strips out of the flat section that are about 3" wide each. If you want thinner or thicker straps you can adjust accordingly. Since this material had Arial around the bottom, I opted to cut her off and use only the printed area. That little bit of red hair will be hidden once all done.<br />
<br />

<img alt="Bonding strap on summer dress" border="0" height="354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQCgFn6X5nrWm4uxosCmpwjr-Ac2EEDkRKUTz3W1ktS2wmvw9DcdcJdV67a56VItA9i5BgGeW67GjDxpzP5hOLyJHlRZKm1rIBX1Dv4xrsfFuWCIDq__VV1VPgUnu3z53urp0wj_VYR_mq/s640/7.jpg" title="Easy No-Sew Summer Dress" width="640" /></div>
<br />
6. Fold your strips like shown in #1 above. Then fold them in half again with a strip of bonding in the middle so that all the raw edges are inside. Your finished 3" strip will make ~ 3/4" strap. I used pins again to hold everything in place while I ironed them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="placeing straps" border="0" height="387" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBqfnMAP03hRbB3r0l4v7Qm-lyJEc2UTADoWjKDNO6ujAl05KKn3iJ1h_NmGst05s3QuuWA0Caub30o4PdW5HChz_y99_VFfREoJB3EBUYRcJB5u_NT3g3U-ynz4mZwOabvTTIGDpr6yLu/s400/9.jpg" title="Easy No-Sew Summer Dress" width="400" /></div>
7. Have your model try on the body of the dress and line the seam up in the center of their back. Attach the straps where you want them with pins.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="ironing on straps" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-QiUg7B221DqWxtPwT97JgxgJ2_9FpC5Dc1qsCuAHZ7NnkPYoN61DavgK2g_40yPDbukNMs8ju0PzetpBCAah8xKUD9uTOOmmjlCLxj1Eph-hOvznKEmZnMAsD9REvD2KcZS1jeJZrkZ8/s400/10.jpg" title="Easy No-Sew Summer Dress" width="362" /></div>
8. Use the bonding to attach the straps. I only attached them between the top and 4th row of pre-smocking. This left the frilly ruffle at the top loose and flowy. Make sure you let each strap fully cool before placing any stress on them.<br />
<br />

With all the choices of pre-smocked fabrics, this can be used for toddler and kids dresses, teen and adult dresses, you could even make a cute smocked top too. Just pick the right length and go to town!<br />

I think they did very well :D<br />
<br />
I'd like to tell you about all the amazing things I accomplished with 3 hours to myself each evening, but alas, I can not. I reclaimed my kitchen one night, had dinner with the in-laws another night, and just recharged my 'mommy batteries' the other 2 nights. So yes, I was very productive, but mostly just helping myself to remain sane!<br />
<br />
What are you doing this summer to recharge your 'mommy batteries'? Please comment below and maybe you'll help another mom out! ;)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05332426810210910009noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499542642160201610.post-50401771939676770762016-06-10T19:29:00.001-04:002016-06-10T19:57:29.885-04:00My Favorite Things Saturdays #128 - 6/11<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's summer time. That means fun trips, pool time, no school... and reading. Yep, most parents these days know the <a href="http://blog.ed.gov/2011/08/why-summer-reading-pays-off-year-round/" target="_blank">importance of Summer Reading</a> and with scary phrases like "summer slideā and "decline in reading ability", most parents will do ANYTHING to get their kids to read during the summer. On the other hand, most kids will do ANYTHING to not do anything that remotely feels like school. I have put together some great tools to help you and your young reader make the most of this summer while not feeling burned out.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Reading Lists</b></span><br />
The first step in any summer reading is knowing WHAT to read. Some schools assign summer reading lists which make it pretty easy to pick what to read. Most public libraries also have age-appropriate reading lists available online or onsite. The American Library Association has a great list <a href="http://www.ala.org/alsc/2016-summer-reading-list" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tracking Books Read</b></span></h2>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tracking</b></span><br />
Everyone who sets a goal needs to be able to track their progress. Every child from 2-10+ loves to be able to show their accomplishments. So make sure you have a way to show and track the books they've read. You can use a <a href="http://balancinghome.com/2015/06/reading-log-printable.html" target="_blank">Reading Log</a>, <a href="http://overthebigmoon.com/printable-punchcard-bookmarks/" target="_blank">Punchcards</a>, make a <a href="http://www.chickenbabies.com/2013/05/summer-reading-charts-2013.html" target="_blank">Bookworm</a>, or the <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/hpkhp9e796mpkme/Reading%20List%20printable.jpg?dl=0" target="_blank">printable below</a>. You can use it several ways. Write all the books on your child's summer reading list on the spines to start with, then they color them in as they read them. Or you can just write or color in books as your child reads them.<br />

Camping! If you know anything about my family it's that we are big campers. We try to go at least once a month during the "off season" and more than that during the summer! This year we've added some new goodies to our supplies!<br />

While Penny isn't a new 'supply' she is new to our trips. She LOVES camping just as much as the rest of us. Can't you tell from that big smile? ;)<br />

Uncle Bubba helped us set up this trip and even swept off Meme's camper roof. Bubee thought is was hilarious that Uncle Bubba was on the roof.<br />

Little Lady really loved the water this year and ventured into the lake further than she has in years pasts. (BTW: All 3 of my kids are strong swimmers, but in the lake we still require them to wear life vests, it's just safer that way. Even Meme and I don't venture past our waists without a noodle or some other flotation device. Lakes aren't the same as swimming pools! Okay, end of my PSA. ;) )<br />

Meme got this new grill and Bubba fixed us some YUMMY bacon cheeseburgers and bacon dogs! Mmmmmm! This is my new favorite way to cook! I'm currently putting together a camping cookbook to share, so check back soon.<br />

Of course, no summer camping trip is complete without watermelon!! I got this amazing new <a href="http://amzn.to/1Ubds0W" target="_blank">Watermelon Slicer</a> from #LefaliSlicer. Meme and I were able to cut this watermelon in just a few minutes! Little Lady loved it because she could eat the watermelon with no fork.<br />

Needless to say, eating watermelon with your hands leads to a camp bath. Little Lady has grown so much in the past two years, I think it's time to get an <a href="http://amzn.to/1TX3SAw" target="_blank">Extra Large Tubtrug</a>. LOL<br />
