Let's face it, being at home for two months straight is not easy for children. We have been trying to break up the monotony by baking and crafting, but I only have so many of my own ideas. We are featuring the below blogger submissions in the hope that we'll help other families get creative without having to make a trip to the craft supply store.

Friday Finds to Kick off Summer
. . . It's almost officially summer -- HOORAY! My kids have been done with school for a few weeks, so we are already in summer mode around here. Are your kids on summer break yet? There's something about summer. I love to shop all year, but I go even harder during this season. Due to nicer weather and more things to do - and more time to do it, I suppose. We love these latest finds and hope you do too, and let us know in the comments: Have you discovered any great summer finds lately? Summer ... read more
5 Ways Kids Can Experience Science This Summer
Science is everywhere, and it's even more evident during the summertime. It's in the grass that grows in our yards, the stars in the sky, even our own bodies. Just because the kids are on a break from school doesn't mean they cannot continue to learn at home. Get Gardening My kids love to help me plant and care for my vegetable garden. This includes weeding, watering, fertilizing and harvesting. Don't have a garden of your own? Take the kids picking! Observe Your Surroundings My ... read more
5 must have bags for Summer
There is a bag for every occasion, sometimes multiple! In the summer I tend to change up my bags way more often than any other time of year. I guess because this is when we're most active outside.

We found so many great bags that should all of a place in your closet for carefree, fun and fashionable living this summer. Which one ... read more
DIY Birthday Party Pinata (Using Household Scraps!)
Clicking and purchasing from affiliate links below will help support GGM and allow us to bring you more great tutorials. Given the cost of some of the piñatas you can purchase in stores or online, it is well worth the time and effort required to make your own. At first, the idea sounds daunting. But then you realize just how easy it is - not to mention almost free aside from the candy/toys you stuff inside it!

Lebanese Tabbouleh Salad
Growing up, Lebanese food was normal fare among immediate and extended family. We enjoyed pita and hummus, stuffed grape leaves with lamb, meat pies, kibbeh and more. In the summer time when fresh veggies were plentiful and parsley was grown in huge planters, we knew it wouldn't be long before we'd be eating tabbouleh salad. It is such a fresh lemony salad that can be eaten on the side or as the main event for lunch. It is so delicious, and I've watched my parents make it for years but ... read more

Enchilada Casserole
We have Mexican food for dinner at least once per week, sometimes more. Some recipes are more intensive than others but my favorites are the one dish meals. When we want low carb, I go for the Tex Mex Stuffed Peppers or Chicken Fajita Cauliflower Rice Bowls. I love making enchiladas but I found a far better and easier way to make them with this enchilada casserole. I based it loosely on my Mexican Lasagna that is also very delicious. For this recipe I decided to use corn tortillas because ... read more
Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
We received a complimentary copy of The Chew Approved. I'll be upfront and tell you right off the bat that I always order eggs for breakfast. As tempting as pancakes and french toast may be, nine out of ten times I won't give in. That is unless I find something extra special on the menu. When I spot Lemon Ricotta Pancakes on the pages, I'm physically unable to order anything else. It's not often that I get to watch daytime t.v., but the Chew is one of my favorite shows and I've been ... read more
Burlap Seashell Wreath
Post contains my affiliate links. Originally published April 22, 2015. My house is full of craft supplies and half-finished projects. Case in point, a roll of burlap I purchased during an after Christmas sale for 90% off. I knew I wanted to do something with it, I just didn't know what at the time. While shopping for craft supplies I remembered the burlap and used my trusty phone to access the internet to search for ideas. I don't know how I survived without a smart phone in the past. It ... read more
