Hello! It’s been a while. Somehow, it’s already June! I love this time of year. Summer brings so many great things. Baseball, sunny days at the pool, hanging out by the lake, beautiful evenings, bonfires, I love it all. Dining outdoors is at the top of the list. Doesn’t everything taste better when eating outside? The kids love having dinner out on the deck, and I love the easy clean up!
Thinking about outdoor get togethers makes me all giddy inside. Bring on the summer cocktails and twinkles lights! I’ve gathered some of my favorite ideas for hosting a summer gathering. Watch for links to recipes and how-to’s.
I love the idea of a server/ bar cart.
There is something about the glow of string lights. They are a must have!
Serve fruit and salads in jars with lids to keep the bugs out. Genius!
Make easy appetizers with fresh ingredients.
FETA, WATERMELON AND CUCUMBER CUBES
Put together pretty platters that let guests serve themselves.

Make a new summer cocktail!
GRAPEFRUIT CUCUMBER GIN COCKTAIL
Green it up! Pots and plants spruce up outdoor spaces perfectly. Grab some pots in different heights and textures.
Decorate! Think rugs and pillows. Your outdoor space can look as inviting as your indoor space.
Last but not least, end the evening with a bonfire and s’mores. Maybe even a backyard movie with popcorn and blankets.
Love these…
I’ve heard that these are awesome in s’mores. You can find them at Target!
Here’s to a summer of backyards filled with lots of laughter, conversation, and good food.
