Garden Inspired Easter Table Ideas!

March 16

Garden inspired Easter table ideas will delight your guests this year!  Not only is it easy to add to any tabletop, but it’s an economical way to create whimsical holiday details.  You might make a centerpiece fit for Peter Rabbit or just add tiny touches of garden color. Either way, it’s a creative way to set a no-fuss table!  As much fun as holidays are to go all-out on decor, sometimes making it easier is just what you need to enjoy the celebration as much as your family and guests! So today I’m sharing my simple table this year, filled with already-owned mix & match dishes, linens, and paper products.  The only money spent was in the produce section of my local grocer!  Keeping costs down, and set-up minimal, takes a big chunk out of holiday stress and gives you more time to enjoy this much anticipated gathering!  Let’s get ready for fresh, springtime celebrations!

Christmas in July!

July 16

Christmas in July is such a festive party theme!  If you’re a ho ho ho holiday lover it also gives you a chance to decorate twice but this time with a summertime twist!  All the joy wrapped up in fresh, seasonal colors, summer staples but mixed with traditional Christmas touches.  You can blend it however you want!  Go all out with red & green, or change it up with tropical colors…  there’s no right or wrong way to do it!  Pink was our signature color for the evening which was inspired by iconic yard flamingos.  A really whimsical way to marry the two seasons together!  The great thing about this theme is that Christmas party food staples like shrimp cocktail, spiral ham, chex mix, punch and eggnog made for easy appetizers & beverages.  And plenty of upbeat holiday tunes were ready to go in already created playlists!  Planning ahead allowed us to grab some decor during after-Christmas sales. But online shopping can get you pretty much what you need any time of year!  So let me share with you our summer celebration in hopes to inspire some…

Christmas in July fun!

A Summer Fiesta!

August 5

A summer fiesta is such a festive party theme! The bright colors and patterns just make you happy…and the food options are equally delightful!  Each summer my family hosts a themed celebration for a few friends.  It’s been such a fun tradition and a family affair with our kids & their comrades too!  Keeping it casual but filled with fun, thematic decor makes each party special and easy to pull off. It warms our hearts to see our guests enjoy the festivities to the fullest!  So today I’d love to share some ideas for hosting a summer fiesta (or any gathering) so you can share that joy!  For those who have followed along, you know I love super casual entertaining.  But once in a while it’s great to go all out…but you can still keep your sanity and budget in tact! I hope you find the inspiration I share today helpful for your next big or small event.  And be sure to grab a special coupon code and recipe at the end!  Let’s celebrate the remainder of summer…

A Summer Salad Board!

June 12

A summer salad board is a wonderful way to present a light, casual meal.  I’m a big fan of charcuterie boards and this twist is one of my favorites!  It’s a super easy way to present a healthy meal option in beautiful fashion.  If you have a large board or platter you’re equipped with what you need…along with your nibbling options!  You can go right from your kitchen to patio table and allow your family or guests to dine in serve-yourself style.  Just like a traditional charcuterie, pile on all your favorites for a customized meal!  Let’s enjoy summer with no-stress outdoor dining!
