Pretty Summer Freebies and More

Published: Mon, 06/13/16

I just got home from a road trip to Arkansas in which I slept little and visited much. I got to see my almost 90-year old Nana, plus many uncles, aunts, and cousins. It was worth the long drive!

Now I'm home trying to play catch-up. I have some fun money-savers to share with you, but first a couple of freebies!

Free Summertime Printables

I find that it's so helpful to keep a stash of cards on hand, but I don't always remember to pick them up at the store (plus I don't always like to pay for them!). Here's a FREE set of "Summer Blessings" printables for you that you can have on hand to print and use as needed. Use these to bless those around you!

Next, here's a free recipe card packet you can print and use how you like to bless others. It's all about strawberries! These are many of my favorite summer recipes. :)

How to Make Homemade Vanilla

I've talked for years about how great it is to make Homemade Vanilla Extract. I love that it's easy and saves money - plus it makes wonderful gifts!

The best vanilla needs to brew for 4-6 months - so I suggest starting a batch in June so it will be perfect at Christmas time for baking and gift-giving. Read the simple instructions for how to make vanilla extract here.

I always buy my vanilla beans online from Olive Nation because they have the best quality, the best prices, and automatic free shipping on their beans. The timing is perfect since this is the best time to make extract for Christmas: Olive Nation is offering 20% off any order over $25! (through 6-15-16)

Use the code SAVE20 to save 20% off your order. A great deal!

Hopefully you saw this simple, inexpensive way I add nourishment to our meals that I shared last week. It's too easy! Also, here's how my family "does Chipotle" without paying Chipotle prices!

With that, I'm off to catch up on laundry! Here's to a great week!
