Summer Fun Ideas Needed

 photo summerfunCollage_zps4c38cd8c.jpg

Alright Lovelies I need your help. I am putting together a "100 fun things to do with your littles this summer" list, but I need your help. This Mama can only think of so many things on her own. I need your help! Lay it on me. What fun things do you have planned for this summer? What has worked for your kids in the past? Comment with your ideas, pinterest pins, blog links, etc. I will then feature them in a post on Blissful and Domestic. Lets all share our ideas and make this the best summer yet for our kids!

Thanks in advance for all your fabulous ideas:)

My littles love playing with LEGOS. They love creating and challenging each other to create new works of arts. Recently I saw this DIY LEGO game on Inspired By Familia and knew it would be perfect for our Family Night this week. It didn't take long to make and the kids had a blast playing it. We enjoyed homemade pizza , salad, and homemade root beer*, while playing. Thanks Mari for the great game tutorial! Too fun!


*I bought some root beer concentrate and followed the directions on the back for making homemade root beer. It was really good!

*Remember family night is not about the amount of money you spend, but how you spend your time together. Unplug and enjoy time with your family this week.

See more Family Nights HERE.

Grilled Tomato and Avocado Sandwich

 Sometimes when it comes to the end of the month, I have to get creative with my recipes. We were out of deli meat, so we tried a veggie style grilled sandwiches. It turned out great! I made a loaf of my white bread and topped our sandwich with tomatoes, avocado spread*, and spinach leaves. Cook like it is grilled cheese and serve with apple fries and sliced green bell peppers. We skipped the mayo this time, making this a heart healthy lunch. Enjoy Lovelies!


*Avocado Spread
2 avocados + 1/4 cup sour cream  -- blend well and serve in place of mayo.
We also added some Lawry's and lime juice to taste.
