Monday Inspiration #8

Welcome to some

from 

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  It's been soooo hot here that we spent most of our time in the pool or under a shade tree.

So, let's get Inspired


Welcome to my Patriotic Front Porch!!
I know I just recently shared my front porch after I finally was able to plant all my annuals........

And now I have it all decked out for Memorial Day!!



Creating a bee-friendly garden means more than just planting flowers. You certainly want to attract them with gorgeous blooms, but while they are in your garden you will want to give them a place to collect water: a pond, fountain, or a bee bath. A bee bath is easy to make and care for in your home garden, and it’s a nice touch to set out for your pollinating guests. After all, without those busy workers in the garden, you wouldn’t have as many beautiful blooms or fresh vegetables and fruit to harvest.



When I first started dating my husband, my tastes were pretty sheltered. (Actually, I was a vegetarian when I met him, but that is a post for another day.) I stuck mostly to “American” cuisine, Italian food, and occasionally very mild Mexican. Alex has since introduced me to a variety of different foods and I would consider us a “foodie” couple – we’ve driven 27 hours just for barbecue in Austin and often drive up to two hours one way for food.

On Listening Better
Barbara Isaac

The hardest part of listening better is not taking better notes, nor it it the ability to repeat word for word what was said. The hardest part of listening better is the only part that matters: do it on purpose.


Blueberry Cake Mix Cobbler Recipe
3 boys and a dog

By now you know that I am all about making something delicious very easily! I love to make recipes from boxed cake mixes because all of the dry ingredients are pre-measured, pre-sifted, and pre-mixed!  This Blueberry Cake Mix Cobbler Recipe is a favorite eaten almost right out of the oven AND it makes the entire house smell so delicious!



WHEN DID WE STOP LIKING CHILDREN?
Deep Roots at Home

Hello!

I’m Susan, imperfect wife, mother, and lover of Jesus!
I am a girl learning to love to do what must be done, and finding that grace is more beautiful each day!
When did we stop liking children? Seriously? Can anyone put their finger on it?


BBQ Cupcakes
A Mother Thing

I can NOT wait to share these with you. I have been working on so many themed cupcake posts lately, and this one is far too cute to keep to myself. It is the absolutely PERFECT dessert to go with SO many occasions. Obviously, Memorial Day is coming up, and BBQ season will be in full force. These would ROCK for that. Father’s Day is just around the corner, and I guarantee a box of these would make any dad smile. July 4th? BAM! And Labor Day? The perfect end to the summer.



Peaches and Cream Ice Cream Bars
A Proverbs 31 Wife

Summer is almost here. While we’ve had a strange spring, things are definitely warming up and that means time to cool off. Nothing says summer like peaches and ice cream, so how about this recipe for Peaches and Cream Ice Cream Bars!





These popular mini pies are perfect for summer parties and easy to assemble. We served ours alongside Gourmesso coffee to end off a perfect evening.


Thank you to all who share every week at Wake Up Wednesday Linky Party.
Thank you for visiting and I hope you found something that Inspired you.
See you next Monday, same time, same place for more inspiration.
