June 2017 Rock Your Happy Prompts

June 1st – What’s Up, June? It’s time to set some goals and intentions for your month!

(HT) This guide for setting summer intentions is a great place to start!

June 2nd – Send some cards. The first of the month is a great time to send out June birthday cards!

(HT) If you struggle with remembering birthdays, these awesome apps might help!

June 3rd – Clean Out the Pool Bag…get rid of old sunscreen, aged out toys, old snacks and start fresh!

(HT) Here are some pool bag essentials you don’t want to forget

June 4th– Dip your toes in some water!

(HT) Did you know being near water has healing and transformational properties? It does! Water is a definite happy booster.

June 5th – Sunscreen stock up. Find a sale and stock up for the rest of the summer.

Happy Tip (HT) – I love a sunscreen that smells like the beach. This is my favorite brand ever. It smells heavenly.

June 6th – Celebrate! We don’t need an excuse to celebrate. Find something to celebrate today!

(HT) – One of our family traditions is to buy a bakery cake for no reason at all. Have the bakery write a fun message on the cake and blow out candles just for fun.

June 7th – Make Ahead Meal. Can you cook something today that can eat tomorrow?

(HT) – This recipe is one that I make at least twice a month. Any leftovers is great on a sandwich or in a salad.

June 8th – Face mask night!

(HT) There are so many great face masks on the market right now. I like the sheet masks, and I also like to make my own. Here is a great recipe for a cooling cucumber mask.
June 9th – Take a drive! Roll down the windows, blast some driving tunes.

(HT) – Need some inspiration? Maybe make a playlist with some of these driving classics.

June 10th – No Spend Saturday! Put your wallet away and get creative about how you are going to spend your day.

(HT) Maybe donate what you would have spent today to a charity that means something to you? 

June 11th– Break out the lawn games.

(HT) We are big on lawn games at our house. I had custom corn hole boardsmade for Father’s Day last year. No matter where we live, we always have a ring toss in our backyard. It looks easy, but I promise, it isn’t!

June 12th – Write a letter to a kid you are proud of.

Happy Tip (HT) – A simple letter will go a long way to show a kid how proud you are of them. Better yet, try connecting with a shared journal.

June 13th – Cookies! Make your favorite cookie recipe of grab some from a bakery.

(HT) – These soft and chewy cookies are simple and so good! You can also splurge and treat yourself to cookies delivered right to your doorstep. These are amazing!

June 14th – Draw. Follow a video and learn how to draw something simple.

(HT) – I’ve been having so much fun learning to draw from this Instagram account.

June 15th – Get ice cream from an ice cream truck!

(HT) If you are lucky enough to have vendors in your town using this app, you can get ice cream from the truck anytime!
June 16th – Show us some love! Share the Rock Your Happy Challenge with a Friend!

(HT) – We’re close to half way through the year, but it’s never too late to join our happiness challenge! Do us a favor and forward this email on to some friends who may benefit from daily happiness prompts!

June 17th – Do someone a favor, and expect nothing in return.

June 18th– Quiet Moments. Seek and embrace the quiet.

(HT) Bree and I have shared this app with you before, but it is seriously the BEST for quieting your mind and creating a daily quiet habit.

June 19th – Express gratitude. Write down some things that you are grateful for today.

June 22nd – Sidewalk chalk. Is there anything more summery than sidewalk chalk?

(HT) Amp up your sidewalk chalk game with these fun ideas!
June 23rd – Make a “no cook” dinner.

(HT) – This is a great recipe for when you don’t want to stand over a hot stove.

June 24th – Popsicles. Cool off with an icy cold treat!

(HT) These berry popsicles would be an awesome option for today.

June 25th– Watch the sunset.

June 26th – Favorite Summer Memories – jot down some of your favorite memories from past summers. Bonus points if you re-enact some of them!

Happy Tip (HT) – Get some of the pictures of your favorite summer memories off your hard drives and into photo books.

June 29th – Pick flowers. Make a little bouquet of flowers you picked your self.

Book Lovers Giveaway (read to the end)!!! ⬇️ ⬇️ 

Supporting my local independent bookstore @rainydaybooks looks a lot different than it used to these days. Temporarily gone are the days of lingering in store, browsing the shelves, walking out with an armful of books I didn’t expect to buy. The pandemic has made independent bookstores pivot in ways they’ve never had to before, but I’m so happy to say they are CRUSHING IT! And as we virtually celebrate Independent Bookstore Day on 4/24, I wanted to share a way you too can help keep Independent bookstores afloat now (and in the future).

You know I’m a huge fan of @librofm , the absolute best audiobook alternative that gives money back to the independent bookstore of your choice with your audiobook purchases. Well, to celebrate Independent Bookstore Day on 4/24, they are giving YOU a free audiobook! Here’s what you need to do…

Spend $15 or more at your bookstore between April 24th and 26th. Submit your receipt at libro.fm/ibd and Libro.fm will email you a link to your free audiobook by April 28th! Easy peasy, right?

Wait! There’s more! 🌟 I’d love to give one Dine & Dish follower the chance to win a 3 month @Librofm audiobook membership. To enter, simply tag your favorite independent bookstore here and tell me what you love the most about it! That’s it! Winner will be chosen at random on April 27th. Yay, books!

Can’t believe we’re doing the college tour thing already with my second baby! 

So question for any of you who sent your kids to out of state schools or went to out of state schools...how did you do it? She wants to get the heck out of Kansas (I’d like to go with her!). We have money saved, she’ll most likely get a scholarship or two, she’s paying and has money saved as well...but even with that out of state tuition is a beast of an amount. So, did you just assume that student loans were going to be part of that life? And is that worth it to give your kids a shot at a new life outside of your home state? I wish I would have left Kansas for university, and have been here since I was born 😩. I want different for her if that’s what she wants but also just don’t have any experience with how people do out of state college! Any tips?

J is for...jam!
.
My friend @wakschmale makes the best strawberry jam...and I completely forgot about a jar she gave me last year until this morning. Which then inspired me to make my favorite buttermilk biscuits. So so good. Are you a jam, honey, just butter or plain biscuit fan? I love biscuits allll the ways, except with gravy. I have super bad memories of biscuits and gravy growing up. 🤢
.
I’m still slowly making my way through the alphabet for @kimklassen_innercircle a-z photo challenge. I’m bound and determined to finish. It may just take me a little longer than I originally anticipated 🤗.

It took me 2 months to get this Crispy Chickpea Pantry Pasta recipe up on the blog. 🤦‍♀️But it’s there now! You can find the link in my Instagram profile.
.
Also, just noticed Instagram took away the like count on posts. I kind of like that...what do you think?

I is for Inspiration!
.
The “long haul” effects of having Covid back in December are really presenting themselves lately. The continuous persistent headaches are taking a toll and the connection between the brain fog and word retrieval function of my brain has been extra challenging. I had no idea a couple months out, the cognitive effects would still be hanging around.
.
With that said, when I get a burst of inspiration I’m grabbing on for dear life. I made our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe yesterday and felt the desire to update the blog post photos from 2007! We make these cookies all the time, so I’m not sure why it’s taken me so many years to give that poor post some new photos.
.
If you’re interested in the recipe you can find the link currently in my profile. Enjoy!!

H is for...high!
.
It was so strange being on a plane again. I’m so thankful I have the antibodies because the flights were full, which seemed wrong, but everyone around me did seem to keep their masks on, so that was good.
.
I can’t wait until travel becomes a regular part of life again. I’ve missed it so much!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!
