Well today it is all of 84 degrees and not too muggy...that is what I like best...those "high mug" days that just drag you down and sap your energy are the pits! So what is your weather like? What do you do when it's hot? When it gets bad and even the A/C is having troubles...that is when I decide to go down to the basement and straighten up the old scrapbook room. lol

However, our A/C repairman gave us a tip this last month...he said to open up all the bedroom doors upstairs and open the vents completely. Then on the main level of the house to shut all the vents. The cold air is heavy and will naturally come down the stairs on it's own...and the hot air will flow upwards. Darn! Within 4 hours we could really tell the difference in the way our house felt!!

Check out what the other girls at Sweet Shoppe Designs do to beat the heat...

Here is what my sons like to make the best in hot weather...we call them Dalmatian Pops because of the white pudding with the chocolate "spots":

Dalmatian Pops (by Sharon Kay)

1 pkg Vanilla instant pudding mix (6 serving)
3 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels

Mix well. Pour into popsicle molds and freeze until firm.

Note: If you buy a 4 serving pudding mix, use 18 oz. milk and 2 1/2 ounces of sugar.
