A ladies night lemonade party was a fun way for me to celebrate with a few friends! Late summer & early fall evenings are so perfect for enjoying the outdoors and some seasonal sips. I was really lucky to start my little “stay-cation” and time off social media with this kind of small gathering! And to say safe, we socially distanced around a table of lemonade-inspired drinks & desserts…and we each had an individual “charcuterie” filled with healthy nibbles! The takeaway from this ladies night “in” (or “outside” I should say) was that simple goodies can still be grand! Easy details from the kitchen & garden made simple snacks look pretty. And as always, who’s gathered together is what makes any occasion a special one! So when life deals out lemons…it’s definitely time to make lemonade! Do you know what else? PINK lemonade adds extra cheer! Check out the super simple, lemon-inspired fun!

Simple appetizers are so great for small gatherings and casual entertaining. And I love to keep easy snacks on hand if we decide to have an impromptu get together with a neighbor or two! Just because our gatherings these days are smaller doesn’t mean we can’t make them look lovely! It can be so simple to style ANY kind of snack to create an inviting AND delicious table of nibbles! The best way to do this is to shop your house for a few goodies to add color or texture to your table top. And if you have any simple collections or decorative items you love, don’t be afraid to incorporate them. Today I’m excited to share some ways I created an appetizer table with easy food and simple household items & decorations. My motto is it never has to be fancy to be grand! Just let your imagination lead you and you’ll style a festive snack that will let your personality shine! Summer is in full swing…so set out a seasonal treat for your next little celebration!

A tropical table is one of my favorite ways to bring some vacation vibes to dinner! After the red, white, and blue comes down, I’m ready for palms and sandy beaches…even if I can’t be near them.

Dining outside is half the fun, and by adding some tropical feels you can transport yourself to a lazy, beach-side table! Here’s the other great thing…you most likely have some of what you need right in your own backyard! Stay safe in your own yard or patio, with your family or a small group of friends, and enjoy summer…tropical style!
