It’s officially summer! Who else is excited?
I know that summer will probably look different for most this year, but it’s still such a great time to entertain and host.
You typically have more free time, the weather is nicer, you get to host outdoors, there are so many reasons to throw a summer party this year.
I think the biggest one is that we’ve already spent so much time apart from our friends and family, we need to use this time to reconnect with them through some fun get togethers.
This week on the podcast I’m giving you all my tips on summer hosting! So many good nuggets and ideas to put to use this summer.
You can listen to the newest episode here or on Apple podcasts and Spotify.

I’ve been eating a lot more salads because they are all chopped up nicely and I don’t have a giant piece of spinach smacking me in the face, haha!
I learned this trick from Kristen on Instagram here.
Here are a couple options of kitchen shears if you want to give the chopped salad a try.
