With Summer time upon us, there are going to be millions of people spending adequate time outdoors at the lake, beach or pool. Even though it feels good to lay out and spend time in the sun, there is the danger of sunburn. Sunburn can cause many different problems, not to mention, hurt terribly. Let's take a look at some tips we can follow to keep ourselves from suffering from pain and possible other health risks.
- 10 a.m.-2 p.m are times when it is the hottest, try to avoid being outdoors for long periods of time during those hours.
- Be sure to use sunscreen and reapply it every 2 hours.
- If you wear sunglasses, please be sure to purchase those that offer total UV protection.
- Keep Children ages 6 months or younger out of the heat and sun.
- Find shade and relax for periods of time.
- Remember, even if it is a cloudy day, sunburn can still occur. Always use sunscreen!
I hope everyone has an amazing Summer and enjoys their time swimming and other outdoor activities. Please practice these safety tips and have a great Summer season! And most importantly, when you are swimming with children, rather it be at a pool, lake or beach, always have adult supervision. It's always better to be safe than sorry!
Until Next Time...♥
Good Sunday Morning!
I am dressed and ready to hit the lake today! The hubby & I are fixing to head to Chickasaw State Park and go swimming! I really enjoy spending the day on the water, sitting in the sand taking in the sunshine. (I just hope I don't get too burnt. lol)
I'll post another story of my lake adventure when I return. I hope everyone has an amazing day!
Until Next Time....♥

Coffee is not just an amazing cup of liquid heaven. Believe it or not there are many things that can be done with left over coffee grounds. So, before you empty that filter of grounds into the trash can, let's take a look at what you can do.
- Place some coffee grounds on your dish rag and use it to scrub away grease on your dishes.
- Placing coffee grounds in your garden is a great way to keep bugs away from your beautiful flowers.
- Wanting to get rid of pesky food smells on your hands after eating? Wash your hands with coffee grounds and then rinse thoroughly.
- Are you a pet owner that fights the smells in your house caused by your loving pet? Place some freshly ground coffee beans in a skillet and put on low on your stove. This is a great way to eliminate those unwanted smells.
- Adding fresh brewed coffee to your hair can actually make it shiny! Pour a pot of coffee into your dry hair and wait 20 minutes. Rinse and repeat daily if desired.
- Old coffee grounds also makes a great car air freshener. place grounds into a container that has small holes or design your own coffee grounds holder to place in your car for a fresh smelling interior.
I think I will try some of these ideas myself. If any of you decide to try one or all of these ideas, shoot me a message and let me know what you think!

Happy Friday Coffee Lovers!
How has your last day of the week been so far? For those of you at work, I bet you're watching the clock, waiting for the end of your shift so you can clock out and start your weekend! It looks like it's going to be a pretty weekend here in Tennessee, weather wise! (In the lower & mid 90's with sunshine!)
I went swimming for the first time this Summer yesterday evening. We went to Pickwick Lake and spent about an hour wading in the water and playing with the children in the sand! It was nice to get out and enjoy some time with friends and family, as well as enjoy some laughter and snapping pictures of the little ones playing in the sand. Maybe I can convince the hubby to go back out to Pickwick sometime this weekend, and this time pack a lunch and have a little picnic while swimming and soaking up the sun!
Do ya'll have any weekend plans that include the lake, beach or pool? If not, you might want to consider throwing on a swim suit, pack a lunch and hit the water. There's nothing better than spending a Summer day outside, enjoying the beautiful weather and having a little fun! Just be sure to use sunblock, we don't want anyone going home regretting their trip to the water because of annoying sunburn :(
Here's to hoping everyone has an amazing weekend! Stay safe and have fun!!
Until next Time... ♥
Hello Everyone....
Once again it has been quite a while since I have made a post. There has been a lot going on that has kept me away from sitting down and writing. We had a passing in the family as well as a little family drama, but I'm not going to get into that. I'm sure everyone has been through some family drama a few times in there life, but unlike some, I refuse to make it public.
How has the beginning of everyone's Summer been? have you hit the lake yet or gathered with family and friends for a BBQ? I haven't had the pleasure of swimming yet, however; I have had the opportunity to attend a few cookouts! I have to say a grilled cheese burger is one of my favorite things when cooking out. I hope to get the chance to camp out this Summer for the 4th of July. We used to do it every year, but we haven't been able to in a while. I really hope we can arrange it this year, I miss it!
In other news...I just recently got my job back! (YAY!!!) So I will be starting again hopefully here in the next few days. With the cost of living nowadays, you almost have to have a two income family to make ends meet, and still it can be stressful! I am just glad to be employed again to help take the stress of the bills off my hubby with a little bit of help!
Here's to hoping everyone has an amazing Sunday afternoon!!!
Until Next Time... ♥
Hello again my favorite coffee companions!
It's sad to say, but it has once again been a while since I have posted :( I used to post on here daily, but you know how life goes, there are times when things get in the way of doing what you want to do. I hope this post finds all of you doing well.
How was everyone's Easter? I had a great time attending a family cookout and watching my grandbabies hunt Easter eggs in the yard! They had a great time hunting over 200 plastic eggs hid all throughout the yard...there was even one hid in their papa's shirt pocket..lol! I snapped plenty of pictures of their hunt on my phone, so I have a great souvenir to always remember the fun we had and the memories we made!
Now that it's April, this means a new month to look forward too. Luckily, I was not tricked at all om April fool's day! How many of ya'll had to deal with pranksters on the 1st of April? What are some of the things people tricked you about?
Here's to everyone having a great day...and a good month! (Along with warmer weather!!! YAY!!)
Until Next Time...♥
