11 ways to keep cool this summer

It is hot. I mean sticky forehead, don't want to move, fry an egg on the sidewalk hot.

Since our little ol' house doesn't yet have the modern convenience called air conditioning, I've rounded up some ways to keep cool during the warm summer months.

1. Clever cube ideas from Bright Nest. Such fun ideas over there!

2. Ice Cream in a Ziploc via 2 Little Hooligans...What!?

4. Infused Water. I'm hooked on Lemon and Cucumber, but really any fruit or herb mixture can be done to your liking. We like to let it sit for a while in the fridge first too in order to enhance the flavor.

5. Homemade popsicles like these mango orange yogurt ones

 from 6 Bittersweets. Yum!

6. Floppy hats! Like I need anymore, but Forever 21's prices 

make it seem okay. Plus they have so many fun colors!

7. We saw stalks of Rhubarb the other day at the farmer's market. 

This recipe would be perfect!
