Summer is all about easy living and my goal is to bring you simple, quick recipes throughout the season. I know I do not want to spend the time in front of a stove all day and I doubt you do as well.
This recipe below falls under the category of “simple to do but looks impressive” and is sure to wow at your next bbq or potluck gathering! I made them for my brother-in-laws birthday and everyone loved them!
Every different season in 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 the summer or keep them separate – they are sure to be a lot of fun for all!
I cannot think of anything more refreshing on a hot summer day than a fresh cold smoothie! Strawberry season is in full force and I have been loving it so far. For some reason the last few years have been “meh” on the strawberry selection in stores but this year I have already had a few amazing bunches! Can’t wait for more.
I have been wanting to do this flavour combination for a long time and now that summer has arrived, I can’t wait to have this smoothie on rotation. In my pursuit to engage in more dairy free meals, I found a perfect substitute for the regular yogurt I added in parfaits – Yoso Vanilla Coconut Yogurt. It is on the sweeter side of things which makes it a perfect smoothie add in. The mix between strawberries and coconut is the perfect summer blend! PS – how adorable are these owl glasses below ?!
When it comes to birthday party decor, I feel that balloons and glitter are two main components of a great time! Last week I shared an easy DIY Confetti Balloon Tutorial and in the spirit of just celebrating my birthday I am sharing another fun party trick.

Summer has arrived in full force and I am so excited to start enjoying our patio! Summer entertaining is always the best – the feel is more casual and the food is amazingly fresh. People seem to be more relaxed and enjoy just sitting outside together for hours. My favourite thing is to gather everyone in the backyard and host an amazing BBQ – people can enjoy themselves in the fresh air and cleanup is a breeze! Our current house does not have a backyard option but we will be moving in 2019 and I am so excited to plan our summer parties. Chilled Sangria anyone? All the items below have really caught my eye for the summer and I can see them in various entertaining options.
If you are new here – JMS HEARTS is a feature that I have created which showcases all my entertaining favourite finds for the season….aka everything that I heart ♥!
