Make some lemonade and freeze it in molds to make lemonade popsicles. These are super tasty and refreshing after a long hot day!

Water gun or nerf blaster battles with friends. If you’re using nerf or another toy that shoots foam darts, remember to protect your eyes with goggles.

Temporary glitter tattoos! You can get them done at some boardwalks or you can buy a kit online.

Body glitter, now that it’s tank top weather! I bought some at claire’s and it smells like strawberries :D

Just chilling outside in the evenings now that the days are longer. Bring a plushie with you and enjoy the nice weather.

Once it gets dark, you can play games like flashlight tag!

Thrifting summer clothes can be fun and affordable!

Dressing up dolls in summer clothes and swimsuits, or pinning flower hair clips to your plushies’ ears.

Summer playlists! I have to admit I always tell myself I’m going to make one and then forget, but remembering will be worth it.

If you have someone to drive you, take a summer day trip to somewhere you don’t usually go. Now’s a good time for that summer playlist.

Friendship bracelets! You can make kandi, rainbow loom, or traditional woven bracelets and give them to the people close to you.

On that note, miniature friendship bracelets or collars for your plushies.

Make a summer bucket list of all the fun things you want to do this summer, and check them off as you complete them!

Last but not least, remember to wear your sunscreen!

Sunday, February 25th, was National Muffin Day!

Grace is at La Grande Patisserie whipping up a few batches of blueberry muffins. Normally, her shop mostly sells French and French-inspired pastries, but this is a special occasion and Grace knows her customers will be delighted.

At the end of the post, Grace will share her muffin recipe, but first she's going to show you how they're made!

Here's the kitchen in La Grande Patisserie. She's got all of her ingredients and equipment set out on the prep table.

First she cracks an egg into the bowl of her stand mixer.

After adding the butter to the eggs, she pours in the milk.

Here's an animation of how Grace's stand mixer works!

After mixing together the dry ingredients, she adds them to the liquid ingredients, then adds a container of blueberries.

All mixed!

She fills the muffin cups halfway....

Puts them in the oven....

And gives them 20 minutes to bake.

After pulling them out and letting them cool, she tops the muffins with a mixture of butter, lemon juice, and sugar.

Perfect!

After the cut is Grace's recipe for blueberry muffins. I gave her the recipe; it comes from my mom's family recipe book, which is at least 50 years old. Trust me when I say these muffins will be the best you've ever had, in addition to being easy to make. The surprise ingredient is lemon zest and lemon juice, and they have a crunchy lemon-sugar topping.
