Dinner Party 101

I love to entertain.  Absolutely love it.  I love having people over, deciding what to serve them, setting the table and choosing the appetizer ... truly every single moment of it.  When the weather turns nice in the spring I start thinking about alfresco dinners and porch parties.  When the weather turns cold in the fall my mind immediately goes to pumpkin carvings and crock pot get togethers.  If it involves having people over I am one hundred percent all in.

S'mores Galore!

Happy National S'mores Day!  Since this is a favorite dessert for the Minears I knew it was the perfect day to share our recipes.  Lawyer loves to grill and since he uses a charcoal grill it is easy to roast marshmallows as soon as we are done with dinner.  The kids will ask, s'mores tonight?, during dinner at least once a week.

A Pink Clutch Soireé

I had the most wonderful weekend!  My first trip to Columbia, South Carolina left me with fabulous new friends and a heart full of new memories and treasured moments.  I truly can not even process all the amazing things I saw, ate and experienced in my two days in this charming city.  I can't wait to return!

Happy Hour Nibbles ...

As you know one of my favorite things to host is happy hour.  It can be a quiet evening for myself and Lawyer or it can be a gathering of besties, I love to host my loved ones with food and drinks. I have perfected my choices for a smaller group of people vs a large group which requires a whole lot more thought.  Who doesn't love an intimate gathering?  It makes for a wonderful time of catching up and quality time.

Happy Friday Lovies!!!  As we all know it is my favorite day of the week and this cocktail series with the incredible Cathead Vodka has been the most fun.  Today I have a fun soirée to share with you, a Derby inspired cocktail hour with my friend Steve McKenzie.  Steve invited me to his charming condo to try out a fabulous recipe he created using the same vodka I was featuring. It was the perfect timing and I truly had such a lovely time.

Crafted Cocktail Series ~ Sea Island Punch

Happy Friday to all my palm loving friends.  I am back today in part two of a four part crafted cocktail series with my favorite vodka company, Cathead Vodka.  Last week I shared my afternoon of girl time and cocktails with my darling friend Emily and today I am here to share a bit of our time in Sea Island earlier this month.
