I know not everyone agrees with me because I recently bought a pre-made frozen pan of scalloped potatoes thinking that it would be easy and yummy to throw in the oven one night if things were crazy and busy and there was no onion in that.

Just like all of these activities, your summer decor should be a little personal and reflect what summer means to you.It’s great to bring out a few of the same favorite pieces every year, just for summer, because it instantly gives you a feeling of your place in time.

And it’s cheaper that way too!a summery piece.that you really love, make sure you save it and bring it out just for summer every year.

I have this blue-green glass vase that reminds me of beach glass.I bought it about 7 years ago and it stays in the cupboard until summer every year.

I think I love it more every year that I bring it out and it definitely makes me feel like my home is looking its summertime best when I bring it out.

Add in something nautical.I know I said that these ideas would be “besides the obvious” and using a vacuum on your floors definitely counts as obvious, but I really do have to tell you how much cleaner my floors are now.

I vacuum all the time!I vacuum on a whim!

I vacuum just cause it’s there!It’s so easy to never have to bend down and plug anything in and this machine really does pick every single bit of weird toddler food debris, big or completely crushed, in a single pass.
