From PlayDoh to Potatoes this week! I'm getting so anxious now that we're halfway through June and feel like the summer is already over and there's no time left before another semester begins. I know, summer doesn't even officially start until June 21st, but it still feels like the weeks are slipping away. To maximize true summer relaxation, I'm pretty sure I'll be taking some time off in July and August on the blog. Maybe just one post a week. I know you guys want to enjoy your holidays and not be online and so do I! We'll see what happens and just go with the flow for the time being! Now go have a wonderful weekend and a happy Father's Day!
SS Posts from the week:
Monday: How To Make All Natural Homemade Gluten-Free PlayDoh
Wednesday: Classic American Potato Salad (Gluten-Free, Vegan, Allergy-Free)
