ANOTHER MONDAY MADE IT

I am so glad I discovered these "Monday Made It" link-ups with Tara at 4th Grade Frolics. I found myself actually looking forward to Monday! ...it was a strange feeling...


It was kind of a slow week.

...much like last week, I spent a lot of time "making" myself relax. I "made" my way through quite a few books on my summer reading list.  Looking for Alaska by John Green and Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walters were my favorites this week. go. read.


yummm. I kind of hate raw peppers and onion. UNLESS, they are in this delicious Black Bean and Corn Salsa. My bestest friend introduced me to this stuff last summer, and I am slightly addicted. (I really have no idea where she came up with the recipe, but you can find it [here] if you want to pin it.)


The best part: It is incredibly simple to make. 

1 can of corn, drained
1 can of black beans, drained 
1 small white onion, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
3 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar

That is it! Combine, stir, enjoy, become addicted. 

...I'll be back next week!

MONDAY MADE IT

After beginning summer vacation with a few weeks of school-free bliss, I am extremely excited to be linking up with 4th Grade Frolics for Monday Made It. 


Here we go…

Although I haven’t upcycled a filing cabinet yet this summer, many of my past summers have included filing cabinet makeovers.  It is cheap, easy, and looks b-e-a-utiful when finished.  I just recently posted instructions over my Spring Break.  …check them out [here]. 




I am pretty new to the whole TpT thing, and I recently discovered how to make a power point editable. (baby steps…)  As a result, I present to you, an [EDITABLE Massive ToDo List].  If you are going to have a list of things to do, and let’s face it, we always have a list of things to do, it might as well look exciting. 




…my final Monday Made It probably shouldn’t count, but I am “making” myself relax a bit this summer.  My favorite way to spend my days is soaking up the sun, at the lake, with a good book. 

Happy Summer!!
