Happy Sunday, readers. I typically shy away from posting on the weekends. However, I realized that I kind of miss doing my monthly wrap-up posts. They are a great way to look back, and they actually help me to plan for the upcoming month.
May finally brought with it nice weather in the Midwest, which meant plenty of recipes using fresh and vibrant flavors like mild pineapple salsa. Also, in Spring I cannot get enough of salads, so I shared my favorite tips for making the perfect salad.
In addition to spending more time outdoors planting and playing, I have also loved the opportunity to take my laptop outside and get some work done on the patio. It has been a great respite from being huddled up inside. My friend Kari of A Grace Full Life blog, invited me to a blog tour where I shared more about my writing process and to continue the trend I asked my friend Elizabeth of The Circular Home to share her process as well.
Then, for Thirsty Thursdays (my favorite day of the week and yours) in May I was able to try out some of my new favorite drainable recipes! To get ready for The Kentucky Derby I shared two recipes for mint juleps (Irish Mint Julep, and Virgin Julep Tea) fit for whether your guests like alcohol or not. Then, I tried out some flavored waters by using some fruits and herbs to freshen things up as things heat up. The kids loved trying out a recipe for pure vanilla milkshakes, and I was able to re-create some fresh pink lemonade from one of my favorite movies.
In May, I was also given the opportunity to partake in a wonderful day with hhGregg and Maytag to discuss happy homes, and Home Everyday was able to offer its second every giveaway!
Finally, May saw the first every installment of #FridayFail, where I the first of many stories of mistakes made when it comes to DIY. Let’s just say, we have been much better about checking our light bulbs around here.
Looking back at May, I cannot believe how busy it was, and how fast it went by. Summer is here which means it is time to start sharing some outdoor, and perhaps I will be able to do some painting outside.

I want to come sit on your patio and have a tasty bev.
Please say this will happen this summer.
