Happiness Is Homemade Link Party

Welcome to the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party!

It is strawberry time and we are headed out to a u-pick field tomorrow. I’m telling you, there is nothing like fresh picked produce!

Also happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful fathers out there – your special day is much deserved.

No one can fix broken toys like you can, keep a pristine lawn or grill the perfect steak like you!

We had another great link party last week with lots to choose from, but I was able to narrow it down to my top five, scroll down to check them out!

This Week’s Features

Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler

Tracey from The Kitchen is My Playground has given us another hit recipe – you knew I had to feature something with strawberries! Try her recipe for Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler for a fun twist on a classic dessert!

Balloon Festivals in the United States

We have a local balloon festival every Labor Day weekend so I know how exciting it can be to watch them all take off! Check out this handy list of Ballon Festivals in the United States and see if one is taking place near you!

Creamy Cucumber Salad Recipe

I love keeping hot weather recipes at the ready for the summer months, and this Creamy Cucumber Salad Recipe is a family favorite. Not to mention a great way to use all those cucumbers growing in the garden!

Faux Cast Iron Candlestick DIY

I am always looking for new decorating inspiration, especially those that are easy and inexpensive. I love the look of these Faux Cast Iron Candlesticks from MaryJo at Master “Pieces” of My Life – very clever and authentic looking!

*BONUS FEATURE*

Easy Patriotic Dessert Marshmallow Pops

My boys really love marshmallows, but can they really eat a whole bag? Lol dumb question of course they can (gag!). However I feel like this recipe for Patriotic Marshmallow Pops takes the simple old fashioned treat to a new level!

Welcome to the Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop! We just had our final day of school for the year. How about you? Many of us have a shift going on in our daily routines as school ends and summer approaches. This is a perfect time to catch up on those projects that had been laid aside for lack of time. If you are a blogger, you can ramp it up a little bit and get some great content going.

So, before we start this week’s party, let’s take a look and feature the posts from last week that you all enjoyed so much. REMEMBER: the very nicest thing you can do for a blogger is to visit their post, pin it, share it and/or leave an encouraging comment. Connect with them!

This Week’s Features

3-Ingredient Mug Cake

Over the winter I discovered mug cakes and haven’t looked back since. They are also a great way to get your younger ones involved in “baking”. Ill be adding this 3-Ingredient Mug Cake by Suchot into my Pinterest baking folder!

Gilligan’s Island Cocktail

Normally I am a hard-seltzer kind of gal but MAN does this cocktail look refreshing! I bet I could easily turn it into a mocktail (preggo here!) using coconut juice and peach syrup as substitutes. Gilligan’s Island Cocktail could be my new summer drink!

How To Make Homemade Marshmallows

My two boys are super weird about textures of things. So you would think they would dislike marshmallows………WRONG! Sometimes I’ll buy a bag and that’s their after dinner treat – two plain marshmallows. Anyways I saw this recipe and I said to myself, how fun to try making our own Homemade Marshmallows, so darn it that’s what we shall do!

Sew New Cushion Covers

Karin hit the nail on the head with this post – outdoor cushions take a beating! Her tutorial and tips to Sew New Cushion Covers is easy to follow and so simple that I truly believe I could do it, and I don’t sew!

*BONUS FEATURE*

Apple Pie Shortbread Bars

I love baking, even in the summer. Turning one of my favorite pies into a yummy bar is perfect – I can just picture myself sitting in front of the campfire with an Apple Pie Shortbread Bar and a scoop of vanilla ice cream – yummmmmmmy!

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #378 – it’s June and summer is here!!

My name is Katie and I am hosting this month, you can also check out my blog Love My Messy Messy Mess where I share my messy messes and tidy victories in my journey as a working boy mom and wife. You can also follow me on Instagram @LoveMyMessyMessyMess and Facebook at Love My Mess.

As a public school teacher we are wrapping up our end-of-school activities and getting ready for summer break. We are going to spend lots of time outside in our gardens (my husband has a decent size pumpkin patch going!), camping and enjoying the warm weather. What are you up to this summer?

Let me tell you how hard it was to pick just four of my favorite posts from last week’s party, so I added an honorable mention, too!

Collection of great features from our party

This Week’s Features

Wood Scraps to Drink Coasters

I love adding nature elements for decor in our house. I think these simple Wood Scrapes to Drink Coasters by Maya of The Little Treasures make for a great touch and fun project. These would also make a great hostess or home warming gift!

SPRING FLOWERS

Lovely flowers adorning the front yard from Debbie of Debbie-Dabble: Spring Flowers

Being in a farmhouse I have a great appreciation for the look of some festive bunting. This DIY Patriotic Picket Fence Bunting from Tiffany at TeeDiddlyDee looks so darling and super sturdy for our crazy weather here.

Strawberry Iced Tea

KATIE has good news! “Did I mention I’m about 5 months pregnant??? Oh YEAH I am five months pregnant :D. I’m all about refreshing fruity drinks in this pregnancy and my mouth INSTANTLY began to water when I saw this post. So obvi I had to pick it as a feature – thanks Raquel of Organized Island for sharing this recipe for Strawberry Iced Tea with us!”

*BONUS FEATURE*

Hawaiian Style Chicken Wings

Another note on this pregnancy – I am all about the flavor chicken wings!!!! I am a Western New York girl born and raised, so I know good chicken wings when I see them. This recipe for Hawaiian Style Chicken Wings is definitely a good one and is on my menu for a meal this summer!

Sinea’s Featured Pick of the Week
