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.

Having a go-to crowd pleasing recipe for those impromptu celebrations and parties is something I can't recommend enough as a hostess.

Watermelon Birthday Party Ideas
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! 😉
Thank you JCPenney for sponsoring this post. Visit JCPenney in-store or online to shop the new fashionable picks at an affordable price! If you have children between the ages of 9 and 18, you'll know that fashion is quite a big part of their back-to-school routine. Having a first-day-of-school outfit that makes the kiddos feel more confident, comfortable and prepared for a new year is also something FUN to look forward to, besides books and school supplies. Bonus points if the outfit is also Instagram-worthy, right?! 😋
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of The J.M. Smucker Company. The opinions and text are all mine.#PBLove When it comes to going back to school, lunch ideas are at the forefront of my to-do list! Mainly because as a mom, I want to provide variety and fun in my kids lunchboxes and give them something practical, nutritious, tasty and comforting that they can look forward to each day.
Watermelon rhyme with summer, right?! But so does a chilled Rosé wine. So I thought, why not combine the two for a tasty and easy to make semi-frozen granita (or slushie) cocktail?! So that's what I did! And now do, most times when I'm hosting a get-together or summer party. Mainly because this watermelon and rosé wine cocktail is super refreshing for hot summer days, but also fun and mega simple to make. And can we take a sec to appreciate how pretty it also looks?! Win-win! 😊
It's been a little quiet 'round here, I know. But I blame it on summer...kids are at home, sun is shinning, birds are singing, and all of a sudden I find myself strangely drawn to the pool and beach.

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!
