Mitten Moments

My Personal Mitten Moments

• I missed you last week, as I had an amazing long weekend away. Relaxing and a whole lot of fun at the lake was the perfect summer getaway! A wonderful break with family and friends was just what my soul needed! What’s not to love about family, friends, lake life and the beach, anyway?

• Do you have Netflix? If so, have you ever watched Sweet Magnolias? Season three just came out and I’m here for it! It’s just a good, clean, Hallmark-kind of series. I highly recommend it!

• I planted to so many zinnias, this season. Compared to last year, this crop is next level! If you’re looking for a vibrant and rewarding addition to your garden, I wholeheartedly encourage you to grow zinnias! With minimal care, zinnias will flourish and bloom abundantly!

First, let me recap the week I missed!

Did you see my post on How to Maintain a Raised Bed Garden? If you have one, it’s not too late to get your garden beds in check. Why not get the most out of the season? With a little bit of diligence and a whole lot of fun, maintaining your garden is so rewarding!

By the way, that’s my youngest son. He’s becoming quite the gardner!

It was Pinterest Challenge week! If you don’t know what that is, let me tell you. Each month, my blogging friends and I are given an inspiration photo. We then create our own version. It’s such a creative and fun time sharing our masterpieces with friends! I shared How to Style a Boxwood Wreath for Stunning Home Decor. A budget-friendly version that anyone can do!

Believe it or not, Christmas in July was a big to do, last week! We’re a few months away from Christmas, and even though most of the country is burning up from the heat, I did share Beautiful Gift Wrapping Ideas for Christmas. Wrapping a pretty gift is something I love to create and give. It’s not too early to gather your gift wrapping ideas for the upcoming holiday season. If you do it now, it will be one thing you can check off your holiday list!

A Few Of My Favorite Moments

Next up, are a few of my favorite Mitten Moments from some blogging pals. Let me just say, I must have been really hungry, this week. My favorite moments are all about the table and food!

Do you love peaches? If so, you’re in for a treat because it’s peach season! My next two shares involve the beloved fruit and I think you’re really going to enjoy them.

First, is my friend Jen from Midwest Life & Style. I enjoy putting together a pretty tablesetting, and this week, Jen shared Peach Perfection: How To Style A Stunning Summer Tablescape. From her no-sew napkins to the beautiful centerpiece, this tablescape is perfect for summer dining!

If you have a busy life style and are looking for meal plan options, AnnMarie and Anne from Simply 2 Moms shared a Fresh and Easy Peach Cobbler Overnight Oats. It’s healthy and perfect for your grab and go mornings!

This delicious looking Bonne Maman Blueberry Swirl Bundt Cake was shared by my friend Elizabeth from Pinecones and Acorns.

I could definitely get on board with eating this while enjoying a cup of hot tea! How about you?

If you love seafood and a good salad, you are going to love my next share! My good buddy Jennifer from Cottage on Bunker Hill showed us how to make the best New England Lobster Cobb Salad.

There’s plenty of summer left to enjoy this one!
