This Week’s Features

No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe

I won’t lie, I am a huge pumpkin pie fan, but sometimes that takes a little too much effort. Enter the No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe – much quicker and easier to put together for a fall meal. It’s never to soon to start planning your autumn desserts!

Boujee Fall Candle Hack

I am very much so in my candle era here at Starry Acres. One of my nightly rituals is to make a yummy cup of tea and light a bunch of yummy candles to enhance my space not only with their luscious scent but with their beautiful light. This tutorial for a Boujee Fall Candle Hack will help me enjoy my candles even more. Or, how about these for Thanksgiving hostess gifts or Christmas gifts?

Crystal candle holders!

Paper Plate Sunflower Craft

I planted sunflower seeds very late in my garden this year and a few of them are just to bloom. I know my almost 4-year-old will be thrilled when they open! This Paper Plate Sunflower Craftwill be so fun for her to make her own sunflower.

How To Make Baobab Coffee

I am a hot beverage drinker – coffee in the morning and tea in the evening. I’m always on the hunt for new hot coffee/tea like bevies to try and I was fascinated by this post on How To Make Baobab Coffee. Doesn’t this look delicious?

Well, that cinched it! Today we had teacher training at work. Three weeks to go to the big day — the first day of school! Do you try to squeeze as much summer as you can into August like I do? Take a look at the picture above … sandy beach with sea shells. Ah! Summer! Love it. Fall has its merit but today I am “summer minded.”

Welcome to our mid-August blog party. Maybe you are outdoors as you visit us? Favorite beverage in hand, phone in the other take a nice leisurely scroll.

Enjoy the creativity. Please pin some of your favorites (in many ways Pinterest is a blogging gal’s best friend … that’s how many people find us!) Enjoy!

Happy August and welcome to our party!

Depending on how you look at, summer is quickly coming to a close. Many of you may have young family members returning to school this month or perhaps in September. Though summer does not officially close till September 22nd, “school” is often the marker for many families.

I hope you will take a moment to enjoy our features from last week and then cruise through the posts that are building up on our party today. For you bloggers, do share some of your family-friendly posts with us? We can hardly wait to see what you have been up to!

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!
