Count your pennies

The rain has finally stopped (for now) and it finally feels like summer around here. With this summer heat, it makes me crave some cool summer treats.

My niece sent me her penny story, and her favorite thing to do is to save all of her spare change until she has enough to treat herself to a frozen drink. Her favorites are frozen chai tea and strawberry smoothies. In the winter she saves up to treat herself to some hot chocolate or apple cider.

This is the perfect penny tradition for keeping your cool this summer. You'd be surprised how quickly that change adds up, so count your pennies for a week or so and then treat yourself to a tasty treat!
