My kids are officially done with school and we are in summer mode so it is no surprise to me what has caught my eye this week.  I am sharing a delicious roundup of s’mores combinations from Chris Loves Julia, some road trip tips and tricks from Kelle Hampton, a delicious chocolate sheet cake from Preppy Kitchen, the new Responsible Kid Kit promo price ends tomorrow, and a free printable round up of all the Simple Shortcuts from the last six weeks.

Okay, so these s’mores combinations from Chris Loves Julia are absolutely enticing. Do yourself a favor and read through the comments for even more delicious ideas.

I made this chocolate sheet cake from Preppy Kitchen over the weekend and was reminded just how much I love a good sheet cake. Not only is it easier than a layer cake, but the ratio of frosting to cake was spot on – not too sweet and perfectly satisfying.
