This week’s live curiously weekly is inspired by the upcoming Olympics and the tastes of summer. Please click on each link to explore further details on what to make, eat, drink, explore, and watch this summer. I hope you find something new to try this week.
To Make: DIY Vertical Herb Garden
It may be a little late in the season for this herb garden, but I absolutely love this idea. In the fall you could fill it with gourds or flowers.
To Eat: 3 Ingredient Banana & Peanut Butter Ice Cream
I made this non-dairy ice cream last summer and it was wonderful. The bananas take on the consistency of soft serve ice cream. I love ice cream, but sadly it doesn’t love me so this is a nice alternative.
To Drink: Lemonade
I love these 11 simple variations on lemonade from She Knows. I added this category because it has been so hot out lately and most of us could use a refreshing drink. Serve one of these at your kid’s lemonade stand and they will be the hit of the block.
To Inspire: How Busy People Make Time To Read
I’ve been trying to read more books this summer. I’m determined to get through my summer reading list before the first official day of fall. So far I’ve read four books one of which wasn’t included on my list and I enjoyed all of them. Less time looking at my phone equals more time reading. Check out the link above for other ideas on how to fit more reading into your day.
To Explore: 5 National Parks to Visit
I enjoy visiting national parks, but unfortunately have only been to 1 of these 5 parks and it was a short stop so I don’t really count it. Visiting Yellowstone is at the top of my list of parks to visit. Have you explored any national parks this summer?
To Discuss: The ways we are more similar than different.
To Watch: Eddie The Eagle
We recently watched Eddie The Eagle on pay per view. I wanted to see it when it was in theaters, but it wasn’t there very long. A very inspiring story and it will get you in the mood for this year’s Olympics.
To Reflect: Olympic Fever
With the Olympics starting soon it reminded me of an inspirational post I wrote back in 2012 which ties in with my choice of movies to watch this week.
How are you living curiously this week? If you love these ideas please consider sharing them on Facebook or pinning them.
I love the vertical herb garden! I haven’t done much of anything outside the new house, it is calling to me, but it will call to me a little more when the heat breaks down here. Heading off with my hubby for a two week cruise the end of August and I keep adding books to the suitcase…a week of reading and relaxing! I don’t even care if I get off the ship!
It has been really hot here too Chloe! Your cruise sounds fabulous. Enjoy! I got through several books on our beach vacation which rarely happens. I’m working my way through my list 🙂
Love the ideas!!! I so want to see Eddie the Eagle but my family doesn’t seem interested I guess I will have to watch it myself! I love the list of National Parks, I’m like you and have only been to one we need to go the pictures look amazing.
I would try blueberry lemonade. I love all things blueberry, and now is definitely the season. I would also watch anything with Hugh Jackman. Just sayin’…
You make me smile Seana! Hugh Jackman doesn’t disappoint!
