Tuesday Turn About #112 Late Summer Fun

Tuesday Turn About #112 late summer fun is now live! Come and be inspired with summer DIYs and decor that will ease you into the fall season!

TUESDAY TURN ABOUT #112 LATE SUMMER FUN

At last week’s party, we said ‘hello’ to August!

August is in full swing and autumn will be upon us in no time!

Today, my wonderful boss let me have a last-minute-half-day-off to celebrate my oldest jelly bean’s (aka grandchild’s) sixth birthday!

We went out to lunch with extended family and then visited the local reptile zoo. The kids were thrilled with the surprise excursion and it was fun to see them get excited, and sometimes just a little apprehensive. Well, at least his three-year-old sister and 1.5 year-old cousin had some reservations. But, for the most part, all had fun!

My grandson’s birthday is also a reminder that autumn is just about to “fall” upon us. (See what I did there?)

So, with summer coming to a close in just a few weeks, I thought I would share some late summer fun (aka decor, crafts, and DIYs) with you this week.

And don’t forget…

Firstly, let’s take a look at a couple of tips!

Weekly Household Tip

This week, I’m asking you to confirm a tip I read about this week.

Has anyone ever wrapped banana stems in foil to keep them from ripening too fast? Does it work?

Inquiring minds want to know! Well, at least THIS inquiring mind does! Let me know in the comment section below.

Weekly Blogging Tip

We’ve talked before about cleaning-up broken links on our blogs. However, if that just seems a bit too overwhelming, here’s a ‘short-cut’ that anyone can do in just a few minutes.

What are your top five performing posts? Once a month, take those five posts and check to see if the external links are broken or need to be updated. Taking 15-30 minutes a month to fix your ‘best’ posts is worth it! It will make for a better ‘read’ for your followers and it will make them happy to be able to purchase through your affiliate links with ease!

Now, on with the party!

Isn’t this centerpiece lovely? The greens and neutral tones would look gorgeous on any table! And Julie from Restyle Relove is sharing her tutorial on how to create a farmhouse riser from plank wood! So pretty and useful, too!

Late Summer Lakehouse Sideboard

Have you seen the sideboard at Lori’s home? I always love seeing how she decorates it for the season at her blog, Dining Delight. For late summer, she’s given her buffet a lakehouse ‘twist’, and boy is it pretty! So many items, and so much loveliness!

Summery Thank You Card

I love to make greeting cards, do you? Meg at I Teach Stamping is sharing a 5-minute ‘thank you’ card that YOU can make! It’s so pretty, fresh, and summery, right?
