Welcome to the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #596!!!

My name is Katie from Love My Messy Messy Mess. I love sharing things that I love in life including my fails and victories at parenting, gardening, fashion, education and music. I’m most active on Facebook and Instagram so check me out there for all of my antics!

July was a hot and humid one here in Western New York where I reside with my three kids, dog and cat in our 1800’s farmhouse. We welcome August and the lovely dip in temperature so far. What’s the temperature been like where you are?

This Week’s Features

August Declutter

In my ripe old age of 44 I have come to realize the importance of GETTING RID OF STUFF I DO NOT NEED! Some days I’m highly motivated, other’s not so much. I love this August Declutter from Filling the Jars to give me little but high impact tasks to help get the job done.

Amazon FIRE HD 10 Kids Pro Tablet (newest model)

Fire HD Kids Pro Tablet with “robust” parental controls.

From Scratch Lemon Blueberry Icebox Cake

I love making a chilled or frozen dessert for special occasions during the summer months, and with the abundance of blueberries I saw this recipe for From Scratch Lemon Blueberry Icebox Cake from My Homemade Roots and thought it was perfect to feature!

Simple DIY Rope Wreath

You know how I love my wreaths, and since anything nautical themed is all the rage this summer, check out this easy tutorial for a Simple DIY Rope Wreath from an Organized Season. Very coastal chic!

Max 7 mesh wifi router (newest model) – Supports internet plans up to 10 Gbps, Coverage up to 2,500 sq. ft., Connect 250+ devices, 3-pack

Sidewalk Chalk Paint Recipe

Here’s a fun take on a childhood classic – Sidewalk Chalk Paint Recipe from Fun-A-Day. Instead of just using the pieces of chalk to draw, you can create a paint version. Kids LOVE using paintbrushes, and this can allow your child to add more detail to their sidewalk art!

BONUS FEATURE

Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies

This recipe for Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies from A Labour of Life looks sooooooo delicious. Grab a few and your favorite beverage (coffee is mine!) and get outdoors and enjoy this beautiful August!
