Backyard Fun and Games

Summer is all about one thing, hanging outside in the sun. When the day isn't bringing afternoon storms, you can typically find me sitting on the back deck, making dinner on the grill, and engaging in a little fun. That's what summer is all about, right? More often than not, our friends are joining in on the fun which makes the day that much better. I wanted to share some of my favorite outdoor games with you today so hopefully you can kick your weekends up a notch too. These are great when playing with a group or even just with one other person. They make a great addition to your back yard BBQs and even to your more formal affairs. Pick up a few of these or try making them yourself to add a playful element to your next get together.

Have a great Wednesday!

Color Me {Picnicing}

I'm kicking off this week with a bit of picnic inspiration. Whether you live near the beach, lake, mountains, or plains, indulging in a summertime picnic can be one of the most fun and relaxing things you do over the summer. Pack up a basket with all your favorite snacks, beverages, a good book and take off. Hang out in the sun all day and soak up time with the ones you love most. Let the kids run around and have fun while you sip on refreshing cocktails and munch on indulgent treats. Get lost in a good book or catch up on that stack of magazines you haven't read in ages. Either way, a picnic is summertime fun for the whole family.

As the week goes on, I'm going to share more and more picnic fun with you including my perfect picnic basket tomorrow, a delicious easy sandwich everyone can enjoy, mango peach sangria to sip on, and so much more. So, sit back, relax and enjoy all the picnic fun this week and maybe plan your own for the upcoming weekend!

Have a great Monday!
