Want to make a craft this weekend with your kiddos? If so, why not make an outdoor project that they’ll see all summer? Check out this Toddler Wind Chime Craft, pictured above. This project looks fun and inexpensive to make, which is great for my family. If you’d like to make these wind chimes too, then here are the materials you’ll need:

  • Plastic Cup
  • Thread/String
  • Beads of different shapes and sizes
  • Small Jingle Bells

PS: I was able to find most of these materials at my local Dollar Tree store, which helped me save money.

Blackberry Custard Pie Recipe!

During the summer months, I love using fresh berries in recipes. I recently found this Blackberry Custard Pie treat, which looks absolutely amazing. I haven’t made this tasty dish yet, but I am excited too. My husband loves blackberries, so this recipe was a no-brainer. Want to make this custard pie for your family as well? If so, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 1 unbaked 9 inch pie shell
  • 2 c. fresh blackberries
  • 4 eggs
  • 2/3 c. sugar
  • 1 1/3 c. milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
