Sonic Ice, Charcoal Grilling and Getting Paid to Shop Online

Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend!  The weather was perfect here and allowed us all to be outside enjoying the beautiful weather and each other.

New on Involvery:

Would you like to get PAID to shop?

I do!

Here's how I make money shopping online.


Thinking of Buying a Pressure Cooker?

I have an Instant Pot.  While I do love it, there are some things I wish I knew BEFORE I bought it.

(note: did you know you can "bake" potatoes in an Instant Pot?  Here's the recipe)

Let's Cook!

Charcoal Grilling 101 - if you've got a new charcoal grill and want to learn the easiest way to cook on it, read this article.

Here are some quick links in case you're looking for some specific charcoal grilling tips:

There's also an EASY honey mustard grilled chicken recipe on that page.

And don't forget...

Father's Day is sneaking up quickly!

(not that the dad's will ever let us forget! lol!)

If you need a GREAT gift idea for Dad:  get a grilling tools tool set for him.  He'll love it.


and hey, if Dad is a wine guy, get him one of these wine refrigerators.

Love the drinks at Sonic?

So do I! My favorite is their Cherry LimeAde - yum!

We have an awesome portable countertop ice maker that makes ice JUST like Sonic's ice.

    Uh Oh! It's Mother's Day THIS Sunday!

    Here's some great kitchen gift ideas Mom will LOVE - and, if she loves this color as much as I do: check out these Tiffany Blue kitchen decor ideas - gorgeous!

    There's also these farmhouse kitchen canister set ideas that are on MY wish list (along with a portable ice maker and a WINE REFRIGERATOR!).

    And hey, if you're shopping ahead... Dad will LOVE these grill tools for Father's Day! (does he grill on a charcoal grill like my father-in-law does?)

     In other news.... My hubby and kids bought me one of these inflatable hammocks for my birthday - I LOVE it!

     But I guess that means I'll have to wait for next year to get a Lazy Spa - rats!

    We made some of these DIY Yarn Letters for the nursery - they turned out really cute!

    We're still looking into getting a wireless pet containment system for the dogs - not finished researching. Any ideas?

     That's it for today.

     A BIG 'Thank You' to everyone at the Involvery Community for all their hard work.

     Happy Mother's Day!
