Pinterest Favs - Spring Is In the Air

Spring is here. And with that comes a little more color, a little more fun and anticipation of warm, sunshiny weather! I can't wait to slip on some flip flops, with freshly painted coral pink toes and enjoy the spring flowers outside. Here are a few of my favorite pins from the week.

Berry Wash - Making Berries Last Longer

We love berries. Love them. One of the best parts of summer! And this year the kids have started going berry picking which adds to the fun. When they are fresh and in season, we have them at our house. I did some research on ways to help the berries stay or last longer without freezing them. This seemed like the easiest and quickest option. And it worked! Bonus!

All you need:

Vinegar

Berries

A Place to wash them

I cleaned the small part of our sink really well. Then filled it with 1 part vinegar to 10 parts water and put the berries in the water. I was concerned it would change the taste of the berries but it was so diluted, it didn't change the taste at all. I kept them in the water for less than 5 minutes, removed them and put them in a bowl in the fridge. They lasted for well over a week and kept up their shape. Definitely worth the little extra effort!

Pinterest Favs . . . SUMMER!

Ahhhhhhh, Summer! It is finally here. In the Pacific NW we have been waiting a LONG time for this. Long days, warm nights, playing in the water, refreshing beverages and picnics in the park lounging on soft, worn quilt. All things that make Summer fabulous. We can't wait!

Happy Pinning!

Spring is here!

In the Northwest we wait for Spring to arrive for a LONG time. I can officially say it is here and I am thrilled!

All of my bright, colorful spring decor is out.

I love the cheery pops of yellow around the hosue.

The flowers are blooming.

The grass is as green as ever.

And the skies are blue. It is perfect. But you know what the best part about the arrival of spring??? Summer is just around the corner!

Happy Spring!
