Every year, we kick off our 4th of July weekend with a BBQ + Fireworks gathering. (2009, 2010) For a brief moment in time, all that matters is family, friends and good old-fashioned fun. We make the set up simple for all - including the hosts. We provide the BBQ, chips + bevies...our guests bring the sides + a seat for the fireworks show.
Over the years, we've added to our 4th
La Plates collection:
We do load up on games for the kiddos at
Target +
Walmart:
It's tough to stop and take photos when I'm having so much fun! Here's the start to dinner:
We did pause for a quick family photo...
I love seeing all the red, white & blue outfits - especially the monogrammed ones.
While some eat BBQ, others spill out on the fairway for some fun...
These two hitched a ride on a golf cart stopping by, love it!
As a mother of boys, I love looking out & seeing a whole evening of games & running...I knew they'd sleep well...
After the parashooters landed and before the fireworks began, these two discovered the dessert stash. They found a quiet seat, where no one could stop them...
We wish you a 4th of family, friends and fun! God Bless America!
With the first day of school around the corner, we decided this is the perfect time to share our new La Plates Healthy Set. It includes a personalized placemat (with proper place setting) and a small plate (details healthy options for each category). La Plates is a Community Partner of the USDA. Checkout their My Plate program, they have great resources and ideas to choose a healthy lifestyle.
I've been meaning to blog about Nana's pies - somehow I always forget. Or maybe, it's just that I don't want to share my secrets. For correct preparation, she had me purchase a "sock" for my rolling pin and a proper mat to roll out the dough - both can be purchased at Pryde's Old Westport - Williams Sonoma hadn't heard of either.
School supplies - check, figure out teacher for the year - check, educational inspired meals for 2011 - La Plates has you covered! This weekend only, order a Handwriting Plate and we'll include a matching placemat for FREE!
In order to make room for a few new colors this Fall, these 3 colors of Sunday Catchalls just went on sale - 50% off {LEMON & DENIM available until sold out}. You may wonder why you should check Facebook...well all the Apple Green totes went to La Plates Facebook Fans before I could even post the sale on this blog! I guess that's one point for social media...
While we love styrofoam for it's party purpose, it is not cool in the dishwasher. If you'd prefer to reuse your cups, year after year, our 16 ounce frost cups are dishwasher safe.
