Hi, everyone!
I hope you enjoyed Wednesday’s You're Home with Jill Grand Finale of our first-ever QVC PLUS® series. It was the first time QVC tried a true lifestyle show and I am honored and humbled to have been a part and of it. Through the wonders of technology, you can still catch every single pre-produced episode that ran over the last two months on QVC.com. Just search YHJ / Episodes. And, because each show was packed full of ideas, I’ll be blogging about a few things you might have missed throughout the summer…starting with today.
So are your kids and grand-kids out of school yet? We’re mostly finished here in the Philadelphia area…some schools are out today, others wrap up the end of next week. I can’t remember a time when the kids were in school as long as they were this year. What a winter! Anyway, summer is my kids’ favorite time of year, as well as my own. I love being able to spend more time with them and do things like go to the beach, go to local amusement parks, and have summer sleepovers!
Did you ever see that popular coffee commercial on TV? The father and son are camping—they’ve got their tent set up, a campfire going, marshmallows over the fire, and they catch some lightning bugs in mason jars...hopefully they already had breathing holes punched in the top! Anyway, at the end of the commercial, it starts raining and they run inside the house....which is right there! They were in the backyard the whole time. I LOVE that. And I wholeheartedly agree with the concept…you needn’t go to a fancy park or campground to have a summer sleepover unless you’re lucky enough to have one nearby. You don’t even have to go outside, for that matter. You can have summer sleepovers virtually anywhere…as long as you and the kids aren’t in their normal beds, it’ll feel special.
The secret is to make it an “event.” Give the kids a backpack and help them fill it with camping supplies like flashlights, sleeping bags, books, and SNACKS. In the our last YHJ episode, I showed you how to make Popcorn Balls and I can’t think of a better time to have snacks at-the-ready, or make with the kids before your trip.
Popcorn Balls
Ingredients:
Preparation:
You know what tastes great with popcorn balls? Frozen Hot Chocolate! Check out my recipe on QVC.com.
Have a great weekend! I’ll see you again soon and I’ll blog again with you on Tuesday.
Xoxo,
—Jill
