Summer is in full swing at our house. We are hitting playgrounds, splash pads, and beaches as much as possible and you know I never go anywhere without my Kindle. Summer is the perfect time to read for pleasure. Below are four new book reviews for the month of June. There are definitely books I would highly recommend this month.
It’s no secret I have a major obsession with ice cream. In my opinion, the more toppings and mix-ins the better (except nuts!!). I love most Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavors. One of my favorite flavors (One Love) is rarely available and it features banana ice cream, chocolate chunks, caramel, and graham crackers. I decided that I needed to recreate that flavor at home. Here is my copycat version, I call it Banana Graham.
After I made a vacation packing checklist for kids a number of people asked if I had a checklist for adults. Now I do! The checklist is pretty all-encompassing. What I recommend is to print out a checklist every time you are packing for a trip and then cross out any items you won’t need to pack. Below, I have a lot of packing tips and describe how I go about packing for a vacation. The FREE PRINTABLE packing checklist is at the bottom of this post – just click on the picture and it will take you right to the PDF.
I don’t know about where you live, but the weather here in Wisconsin is finally starting to get nicer and I’ve been able to read outside a little! Sunshine plus books make me happy. This month I have a few interesting picks that I surprisingly really enjoyed. It’s important to add some variety to your typical book selections to keep things interesting. I hope you are able to find your next great read from my book reviews and recommendations for May below.
