Summertime has got to be the busiest time of the year for us. We have not had a weekend since May that we did not have at least one thing going on. Some weekends we even have more than one thing going on. We also have a garden and a vineyard to take care of.
It's strange that I am very much a homebody, but am really getting into entertaining. I am not sure if it is because I am home now or because it's summer, so people are actually willing to come to our house. I love the menu planning, the cooking, and the baking. I found that I actually have a talent for cooking and baking. Of all the talents I could have gotten, I have mixed feelings about this one. I am glad I finally found something that I am good at, but not liking how much more difficult it is to get healthy when we entertain so much and I bake so often. I have made some healthier stuff also.
My daughter's birthday is in the summer also. It's in July and her party is this weekend. I am amazed at how much there is to do to host a little girl's party. Heaven help us all when we start getting to the "bigger" birthdays and occasions like graduation.
I've been working on decorations and planning the menu. I also have bought the paper ware and the gift bags. I am planning on grocery shopping and making the food and the cupcakes this week. Food wise I am planning on making everything. We are having a few kids over and I hope that at this age I don't have to do too much for games, because that is where I fail as a party planner. I hope everyone has fun and I am sure that they will.
Happy Summertime every one!
