Raspberry Lemonade

Happy Monday everyone! Today I'm going to share a super easy way to make lemonade a little more exciting :)

This is so easy, I really don't even need to give instructions, but I will just in case what you need:
-1 can Lemonade form concentrate
-Handful of frozen raspberries (I'm sure fresh is fine too)
-4 or 5 slices of lemon
-a pretty pitcher

1. Put a handful of raspberries into the pitcher you're using and mash them up at the bottom.
2. Add the frozen lemonade and water as directed on can and stir.
3. When the lemonade no longer has any frozen bits in it, add a few more whole raspberries and the lemon slices, give it another good stir and voila!

It was even better the next day ;) Enjoy!

Fall Collection!!!

Fall is here and so is my new Fall Collection!! I'm so happy to introduce some fun new styles to my shop! All things I've had before, but some new designs elements added! Today I'm introducing the Lace Heidi Hood!

It's a hooded scarf, with lace overlay! Half the hood is the color, the other half  has the lace overlay and the inside of the hood is lined with lace as well. Comes in olive, beige, black and pink!

Date Night Ideas!

Remember last week when I made that list of goals? Well I've already gotten somewhere on #3-plan cute dates with husband! My sister recently pinned this awesome date jar post and I thought it was super cute and a great idea!

We lit a little candle and sat down at the kitchen table to do this little craft.

Here's what we did:
Supplies:
-Popsicle sticks (I thought I had regular size, but turns out they were mini! We used them anyway and they worked fine)
-colored markers to differentiate categories
-A cute box or jar

 We did 3 different categories:
1. Expensive-some planning
2. Out of the House-little planning
3. At Home

I'll give you a little example of some of the ideas we came up with for each:
Expensive:
-Mulligan's & Movie
-Thrift Tour & Dinner
-Full meal at Caio Down (Appetizers and dessert!)
-Lunch date & New Game (we love games)

 Out of the House:
-Frisbee Golf
-Bike Ride & Coffee
-Photo Walk

 At Home:
-S'more & Stargazing (his idea!)
-Video Game Night (my idea!)
-Nachos & movie (her choice)

We had fun making this up, let me know if you try it, I'd love to see what you did!

Goals

Hello! As you may have noticed, I've changed a few things around here...I think I'm loving it :)
Today I'm sharing with you 4 simple goals-a challenge from A Beautiful Mess-before 2013!

1. Finish Re-Branding: I'm taking the Dream Job course from Red Velvet, and I am learning SO much. I've decided that I need to re-brand Heidi-and-Seek Boutique to give a better sense of who I am and what I do, and to give it an identity to call it's own! It's going REALLY well, you can already see some of my designs on my etsy page, facebook page and here on this blog!

2. Be More Conscious About What You Eat: Everybody struggles with body image, myself included, and I find I sometimes feel guilty about what I eat. I want to make sure I think before I take, think about whether I need it, and whether it will be beneficial to my health and overall nutrition. So often I don't think before I eat, and if I just stop to consider, I think I will be better off. I want to be healthy and feel healthy.

3. My husband and I have been married for almost 8 months now (WOAH)! This summer has been SO busy, and fall is usually busy for Heidi-and-Seek Boutique, so I want to make sure we plan special evenings or little dates to help us intentionally enjoy each other more :) I think this idea I found on Pinterest is a GREAT idea! I'm actually even just excited to sit down with my husband and come up with some fun date ideas!

4. I'm finding that I'm letting stress get the better of me more often than not. I tend to get super frustrated and beat down if something doesn't turn out the way I hoped it would, or if something disrupts my schedule-this is usually in the way of my shop-it's so important to me and I have such a passion and drive for what I do, I just get so worked up! ha. So I want to try to take deeper breaths and see failures as learning experiences and not let it affect me so much. I want to enjoy what I do, even the bumps!

Whew! That's a good set of goals! Totally attainable if I set my mind to it, and I think I have :)
Happy Monday everyone!
