NEW YEAR’S ENTERTAINING GOALS

JOANNA2 comments

Happy New Year! I can’t believe we are officially in 2019! I absolutely love the new year and cannot wait to plan out everything I will be doing for 2019. I will say I am a little late and officially starting the new year today – who thought Wednesday was a good idea?? Seriously! I also thought writing this post today would be good for everyone that has already set their goals. I understand that when planning your 2019 mindset and writing down all the goals you want to accomplish this year – hosting your friends over for a games night usually does not come to mind and that is completely understandable. Not that entertaining is not important but I do think the main focus of inspiration for your goals should be about bettering yourself as a person overall and entertaining goals may fall down a little bit under the top categories. Although not to be overlooked because coming out of your comfort zone and cooking more or having friends and family over will definitely fill your cup of happiness at the end of the day!

I’ve created an entertaining goals spreadsheet that breaks down into 3 different categories. Each category to help you focus on one aspect of entertaining and get you out of your comfort zone. Get ready to plan out one fun year!

CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINING BUCKETLIST

ENTERTAINING BUCKET LIST: CHRISTMAS EDITION

JOANNANo comment

This Entertaining Bucketlist is one of my favourites to write because I absolutely love Christmas! I am definitely the person to start celebrating November 1st and truly enjoy every aspect of the holiday. From the twinkling lights to the upbeat Christmas songs – how can you NOT be in a good mood! Christmas is my favourite holiday hands down and I cannot wait to start celebrating and decorating. I am a little behind in my decorating because we have been in the middle of a move but I cannot wait to get started on the house and tree soon!

If you are new here, I created the seasonal Entertaining Bucket List because every season throughout the year brings on new adventures and fun activities to be tackled. I love me a good bucket list and I have seen so many pop up on Pinterest lately. They are pretty much all encompassing which is great but I wanted to create a special one for entertaining specifically. Most of the items I want to do each month involve friends, family and food so it’s a perfect fit! You can do the below on your own but having people over to enjoy the activities makes it that more special.

Whether you add these items to your main bucket list for Christmas or keep them separate – they are sure to be a lot of fun for all!

ENTERTAINING BUCKET LIST: FALL EDITION

JOANNANo comment

Continuing in the tradition of Entertaining Bucket Lists here on JMS, I am thrilled to bring out our Fall 2018 one! Fall is my favourite season and I am so excited to start thinking about pumpkins and cozy recipes for entertaining. As the weather starts to dip at night, I am reminded more and more of Fall and I cannot wait to start diving into this Entertaining Bucket List. Fall is officially here on September 22 (this week yay!) therefore get your candles and fuzzy blankets out and start setting that cozy ambiance.

Fun Fact: I absolutely hate everything pumpkin and pumpkin spice (shocker!) but I still adore this season so much! My husband on the other hand lovesss everything pumpkin/pumpkin spice, therefore, he eats/tests out every fun new thing that comes out in the season. Gotta make sure those pumpkin spice lattes are still purchased by one of us!

ENTERTAINING PRINTABLES SUMMER FUN

EPIC BBQ CHECKLIST

JOANNANo comment

Summer is in full force and I am loving it! As the weekends go by, I am checking things off my summer entertaining bucket list and enjoying the ease of summer entertaining (if you missed the post make sure you check it out!).

One of the main things everyone looks forward to when summer arrives is hosting an epic barbecue meal with your friends and family. I absolutely adore being outside, sipping on cocktails, prepping food and watching while my husband works the grill. I find bbq’s are the easiest thing to put together AND to cleanup – hurray for simple entertaining!

I personally find entertaining fun because I enjoy the prep work that keeps me organized when guests are here. I know that not everyone finds it as easy going and most people get stressed out when cooking for a crowd. I wanted to put together an easy checklist for you to use when hosting bbq’s this summer – anything that makes your life easier is my mission! This checklists goes over various categories of the bbq and provides ideas of items you can serve to your guests. It is not intended to be used as an all or nothing list (that would be nearly impossible!) but more of a guide reminder so you do not miss the tomatoes or buns that are needed.

I hope you enjoy the list and benefit from the organization!
