Suburban Camping Co.: Bringing Glamping to Your Own Backyard!

Suburban Camping Co.

Suburban Camping Co.

It’s the beginning of camping season, y’all! If you’re not the type to rough it out in the woods with nothing but a pocketknife and a length of rope, perhaps I can interest you in “glamping”. Husband and wife team Chris and Kella MacPhee created Suburban Camping Co. to offer the unique experience of camping without the stress or prep—tell them where and when, and they’ll come to you!

Roasted marshmallows, campfire stories, and glimmers of nostalgia are all wrapped around the cozy comforts of home. Whether you want to create a memorable event for the family, a wedding or birthday party, or a unique “girls night out” experience, Suburban Camping Co. has a variety of themed campouts that will fit any size event. (They will even set up “camping villages” for music festivals and the like!) My favorite is the Movie Night campout — you can’t beat watching a movie outdoors while camping in comfort!

If you’d rather set up your own glamping adventure, their classic canvas tents are available for purchase! Create a new summer tradition in your own backyard — we’ve got tips and ideas for creating your own DIY glamping event.

Happy summer!

So Fresh! Seasonal Produce Calendars by Chasing Delicious

Seasonal Produce Calendar Posters by Chasing Delicious

Seasonal Produce Calendar Posters by Chasing Delicious

You know what? It’s berry season!

You know what else? These Seasonal Produce Calendars are really terrific. Every foodie, aspiring foodie, and fresh-food lover who wouldn’t dare call themselves a foodie, needs these on their kitchen walls.

Created by Russell van Kraayenburg, he’s a self-described food-crazed writer, photographer, and creative director obsessed with deliciousness. Russell’s also the author of Chasing Delicious, an educational and beautiful blog that encourages people to prepare foods from scratch using all natural seasonal ingredients.

Chasing Delicious emphasizes eating seasonally for flavor and nutritional benefits but also explains one other perk—the Thanksgiving effect—that I especially enjoyed reading about:

My favorite part about abiding by an ingredient’s natural availability is what I like to call the Thanksgiving-effect. Most of us only eat those famous turkey-day dishes on thanksgiving because the meal, and each particular dish, is more special that way. Approaching fruits and vegetables with the same zealous attention to seasonal availability makes that tiny dewberry window in May all the more special.

(Read more from Russell’s Kitchen 101 post.)

The posters are printed on heavy weight paper with room for framing and can be purchased at a great price individually or as a set of three.

And with that, I do believe it’s time to whip up a Basil Mint Cake for us to share and a Watermelon Swash for me. Right now. Hello June and happy weekend!

There’s something about summertime that brings out the desire to tackle a project. Maybe it’s that you find yourself with a little more free time. Perhaps it’s the dry weather finally giving you the chance to set up those sawhorses in the backyard.

Whatever it is, Core77 and their kingdom of mighty makers have put together a Tool Time Gift Guide for the summer season. While you’ll certainly spy a couple gifts that are also found on Wantist, this list picks up where our handy category leaves off. These are some serious picks for hackers, crafters and engineers. “Gifts and gets,” as they’ve aptly put, “to inspire you to get your hands dirty and dive, safety-goggles first, into the season for making.”
