My {FAVE} Summer Drink!

Hi there! I hope you are enjoying summer as much as we are!

I don’t know about your neck of the woods, but it has been H O T here in California! Enter the BEST summer purchase EVER…the iced tea maker by Mr. Coffee. This handy kitchen gadget and the mango tea from Trader Joes make for one happy momma! 

Allow me to walk you through the iced tea making process…

1) Fill with water to the fill line.

2) Pour water into reservoir.

3) Fill with ice to the fill line. Place basket on top with four of those yummy mango tea bags. Put the lid on and snug it up to the iced tea maker.

4) Flip the switch and in less than 10 minutes…you have a very tasty and refreshing summer treat! I love how the tea tastes on its own so I don’t add any sweetener which makes this a zero calorie beverage as well!

Easy Peesy.

Yummy goodness :) Add a few cookies and you’ve got my favorite snack for hot summer days! {mug rug made by me}

Happy summer everyone!

Whole Lot Of Random Today…

Hi friends! I hope you are all having a wonderful summer! I apologize for the lack of posting lately! I have been putting lots of effort into making this a magical summer for my son which means lunch dates and movies and trips to the beach and pool and Disneyland!!! Being fun mommy is EXHAUSTING! But we are having a blast and that’s what counts.

What has “Sew Chatty” been up to??? Well, not much as you could have guessed, but I have been working on a few custom orders like these super cute Yo Yo Bobbie Pins!

One of my pretty little coffee cuffs was featured in this really fun  Etsy treasury called A Rainy Day By The Sea…so pretty!!

I also want to tell you that I participated in a Handmade Gift Exchange via the awesome blog Craftaholics Anonymous! Emilee from Sweetly Made {Just For You} was my partner and she made me this lovely knit head wrap in a pretty burnt orange.

I love it! Can’t wait for the summer night to get a little cooler so I can enjoy it and not have to wait until fall!

I made her a Zipper Pouch and a coordinating Reversible Coffee Cuff!

I had so much fun participating in this! I can’t wait for next year! Thanks again to Linda {my Creative Estates Roomie!!!} from Craftaholics Anonymous for hosting this great exchange! So much lovely handmade goodness out there!

Coming soon to the blog…I want to get my new meal plan out and show you all how I organize meals for the fam…huge time/money saver! I have a few AWESOME new sponsors that will be hosting GIVEAWAYS soon! I have a few summer fun/magical childhood posts up my sleeve too so stay tuned!

Have a happy weekend friends! We are off to Disneyland! Enjoy SUMMER!!!!
