The best thing I bought this summer — under $20

When catalogs like these come to my house, I rarely get a chance to look at them. But I love Crate & Barrel catalogs, and it reminds me of one of my favorite SUMMER FINDS this year.  For $19.95 I bought this large water dispenser from a Crate N’ Barrel outlet store.

If I had had more room in my car at the time, I would have picked up extras for my friends for birthday presents. It’s plastic, easy to clean, and perfect for a hot day of summer fun.  We rarely buy soda (unless we’re having a large party), so water is the BEST for kids.  My kids don’t complain.  They love water!

And the soccer girls who were just at our house didn’t seem to mind either!  What beverage is your family’s favorite during the hot summer months?  (I have a glass beverage jar almost twice the size, that I bought at Costco a few years back. But this size is perfect for smaller parties!)
