Welcome to the Home Matters Linky Party #197! This week’s theme is appropriately: Beverages that Beat the Heat! Everyone knows I live in Central Florida, where the heat index has been up over 100 degrees, so heat is definitely something I’m familiar with. Of course, hydration is a huge way to make sure you’re not getting overheated, so hopefully this week I can offer some creative hydration solutions for you! #Beverages #Drinks #HomeMattersParty
Beverages That Beat the Heat + HM #197
Of course, water is the best way to stay hydrated, but one of my favorite summer party offerings is what I call a SLUSHIE. Maybe it’s because I have little ones, but slushies seem to always be a hit all the way around! Here are a few of my faves…
Strawberry Lemonade Slushies from Jamie @ Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom
Easy Coca Cola Slushie Recipe from Heidi @ The Frugal Girls
Southern Sweet Tea Slushy from Trisha @ The Salty Side Dish
11 Yummy Slushie Recipes for Kids from Donella @ Glue Sticks & Gum Drops
15 Refreshing Slushie Recipes from Lyne @ Ottawa Mommy Club
Admit it – now you’re totally in the mood for a slushie, aren’t you?! You can also check out ideas from the other Home Matters gals below…

Home Matters Linky Party Guidelines:
We are thrilled that you came by to link up today! Here are a few rules that hosts and co-hosts of the Home Matters Party follow, and we ask that you follow them, as well.
- Please link up no more than THREE posts each week–try to make sure that they are new links that you have not shared here previously. (Exception: Holiday/Seasonal specific posts may be shared once per year.)
- Please take some time to poke around and visit some of the other links.
- Please take some time to check out your hosts and co-hosts on social media.
- We appreciate the variety of blogs on the www; however, the Home Matters Party is for links on matters of the HOME. Please link accordingly.
- We ask that you do not add other Linky Parties, Blog Hops, or Giveaways–unless you begin the party with a new project, recipe or post.
- On the same note, please do not add links of an extremist, political or strong controversial nature. (The hosts and co-hosts read each and every blog post linked and will contact you directly if you have linked something that does not fit into the realm of the party.)
With your help, we can continue to grow the Home Matters Party! Thank you!
