Five for Friday

Hello! How was your week? Today I am linking up with Della DevotedCoffee With CaitlinCup of Tea and Bright on a Budget for another edition of Five for Friday!

1. I made lemon curd earlier this week. It turned out really well! I used this recipe. It was really easy too! I did strain the curd after it was cooked to get the zest out. The house smelled SO good! I used one extra lemon, and it's a little tart that way. Which is okay with me! (I had small lemons.) It isn't too sweet either. I will definitely be making it again!
2. I babysat at my neighbors house this past weekend which was pretty fun! It had been a little while since I had babysat anyone, so it was really fun to get to do that again! The kids and I played Life, which was pretty fun! I didn't know that there was a new version of the game where you can file lawsuits against other players. The one boy landed on the lawsuit space 5 times! And he, of course, sued his brother every single time! It was pretty entertaining. Anyways, the family has a really cute pet bunny!
3. We've been in Washington this past week, which I'll post an update on later, but it has been nice to get away for a few days! 

4. Since it's been so hot, I decided to make some cold brewed coffee. I just put 1/2 cup coffee grounds and 3 cups water in a mason jar and let it sit on the counter for 24 hours, shaking the jar occasionally to mix the grounds up. Then I strain the coffee grounds out with some cheese cloth, then pour the strained coffee back in the mason jar. Just fill a glass with some ice, coffee, and milk or creamer and enjoy! It's so good and so easy to make!
5. My VoxBox showed up the day after I left, so I am looking forward to getting home and checking that out! From what I've seen, it looks like there's some fun stuff in inside!

Have a great weekend!
