Summer Ideas to Try This Week

Hi friends! How was your week? It is finally starting to feel like summer at our house. I am excited to share some ways to bring the summer vibe into your home and life this week! I get so much energy during the summer with more daylight hours. It really gets me motivated to work on my home and myself. I hope you love these ideas and try them this week!

New Projects

This week I continued working on our back patio and back pergola areas and I love how they are turning out! I shared a coupe Instagram reels of what I’ve been doing if you want to check them out at @tatertotsandjello!

Make a DIY Recirculating Fountain Out of a Pot in 10-Minutes!

One my all-time most popular posts is one I created about 10 years ago that shares how to Turn a Pot into a Recirculating Fountain. It’s amazing how technology has changed and now instead of taking 4-5 hours to create this project, you can make a DIY Recirculating Pot in about 10 minutes! So I wrote a new poston how to do that with links to the pump/fountain head as well as a solar-powered version too! You don’t even need electricity to create a beautiful fountain and you will LOVE the soothing sound of running water! If you already have a pot this project will cost LESS than $20!!
