A Summer Backyard Camping Party with Free Printables

A Summer Backyard Camping Party with Free Printables

“This post is sponsored by Sony Pictures in connection with the release of Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation. ” During the summer months I'm always on a lookout for easy ideas to keep my kids (and the whole family) busy and entertained. Are you the same? Even if we plan a vacation trip somewhere, there are those days where I find it quite challenging planning and coming up with a new bucket-list of exciting and fun family adventure to embark upon.  This is why I'm so excited to kick off our summer this year with a movie + backyard camping party for my whole gang!

A Cheese and Beer Tasting Party

A Cheese and Beer Tasting Party

Father's Day is this Sunday, and if you need easy, no-cooking-involved, no-fuss but totally delicious ideas to celebrate dad, then this Cheese and Beer Tasting party is IT! I mean, I don't know many dads who'd pass up the chance to taste beer on his special day (or any day...). Or cheese. Or cheese AND beer together!  Cheese and beer might sound heavy for summer, but we kept the cheeses light, serving it alongside fresh and seasonal produce, all washed down with more refreshing, summery types of beers.

The royal wedding is in a few days, are you excited?! I sure am, mainly because the event presents us with the perfect opportunity to host a high tea party to celebrate while watching the ceremony! I remember the first royal wedding a few years ago only too well. Not only did we shared some very British inspired party ideas to celebrate the occasion , but my scones recipe was also featured on CNN entertainment, and I'll be forever grateful to the Royal Wedding for that! 😉

My Pink, Blue & Gold Easter Brunch Tablescape

My Pink, Blue & Gold Easter Brunch Tablescape

Last year I styled a super pretty Easter tablescape complete with a DIY floral table runner . So this year I wanted to change things up a bit, and keep things a little more casual and low-key. I still wanted pretty table mind, but one that was much quicker and easier to style. You know, something that would appeal to all you busy bunnies out there?! 😉 You may have seen sneak peeks of this table over on my Instagram stories in the last few days, so here's the finished article!

I was super excited to be contacted  by Sony to help celebrate the release of the NEW Peter Rabbit movie coming out on February 9th, and decided to style a 'Hop Into Spring' party full of fun and whimsical details that mirror the movie! 😍

If you've seem my blog posts lately , you'd have noticed how much the pink and copper combo is influencing my party styling these days!

DIY Caramel Apple Station

Thank you Mardi Gras Napkins for sponsoring this post. Learn more about Mardi Gras Conversation Starter Napkins here and grab your coupon today! Fall is one of my favorite seasons. Mainly because of all the the wonderful produce in season this time of year, and the tasty treats we bake (and eat) with them, of course! 😉 Our apple trees were covered in fruit these past few weeks, and it has been a real treat, I tell ya! We've had apple pies, apple crumbles, apple compotes and even apple chips baked in the oven and covered in cinnamon. YUM! But one of my fav ways to use up all them apples, is with a Caramel Apple Station !

Our Quick & Easy End of Summer Patio Party

Our Quick & Easy End of Summer Patio Party

Summer is coming to an end, boo! And as much as I've been trying to resist the transition into Fall, school for my kiddos starts next week, so there's no denying it any longer. Double boo! But to lessen the blow, and make sure we still make the most of the hot days - yes, it's still 40 deg C in the shade 'round these parts; we celebrated last weekend with an end of summer patio party !  It's our way to enjoy the fine produce on offer at the end of season, and relax before the school routine finally kicks in.

  Photo via Project Nursery The sun is still shining, and if you're looking for a celebration theme for birthdays, baby showers, bridal luncheon or end of summer celebrations, than Watermelons will come to the rescue! It was national watermelon day on August 03rd (yeah, did you miss that too?!), but  it's a party theme that will help us linger a little longer in the sun and reminds us that summer is not quite over yet! 😉

Styling a Smoothie Bar for Summer

Styling a Smoothie Bar for Summer

Summer is the perfect season to try and eat healthier. With an abundance of fresh produce in season, summer's when I create lighter and fresher meals at home. One of my favorite quick snacks/drinks to serve my family is a smoothie. We love it for breakfast, we love it in a bowl, we love it as a tasty treat... So I got thinking it would be so fun to set up a smoothie bar for a party! Such a refreshing idea for a bridal or baby shower, summer brunch or any summer celebration!

A Colorful Cinco de Mayo Mexican Fiesta

A Colorful Cinco de Mayo Mexican Fiesta

I have Latin blood in my veins, so Cinco de Mayo is one celebration I'm particularly drawn to. Mainly because of the lashings of Mojito, churros and tacos involved, let's be honest 😋 Last year we held an outdoors fiesta ( see all the photos, video and recipes here ), so this year I decided to bring the party indoors, but still keeping the colorful and fun vibe that's associated with all Mexican fiestas!
