Fantastic Finds Friday #1

This is turning out to be a crazy summer, but I'm having a lot of fun working on projects that I hope to be able to show you once school starts!  This week, my dad and I have been  busy building lockers for my kiddos.  It's my first building project, and I think I'm hooked!  (I don't have any pictures to show right now, but I'll try to take one to add to this post tomorrow.)

Every week, I find great ideas on the internet, and I'm excited to start sharing some of them with you each week.  If you like the ideas, too, please visit the bloggers and pin from their sites.  I've linked to their posts under each image, and you can find the full details about their projects and recipes there.

I love these Balloon Boppers from Crafting in the Rain.    It's awfully hot outside in Southern Utah right now, and my kiddos (who love to play outside) are in desperate need of some activity!  I think these boppers will do just the trick--and the balloons make them safe for inside!

Cooking in the desert during the summertime gets hot!  I can't wait to try out some of these pasta salad recipes shared by the Mommy Blog Hoppers.  (There's even one of my recipes in there!)  I'm sure most of them can easily be adapted to gluten free by substituting some of my favorite gluten-free pasta.  I hope you find a new favorite!

I don't own any coffee tables because they just end up being foot rests.  Welcome to the Mouse House must have had the same idea!  They transformed theirs into an ottoman!  Stop by to find out how they did it!
