Summer
+ sunshine = parties and picnics, wouldn't you agree? My kids like
nothing better than bringing lunch and snacks out onto the back deck and
lawn and I'm a big fan of impromptu shared meals myself. We'll often
meet friends at a local park with a bag of peanut butter and jelly
sandwiches and whatever other goodies we've got on hand to share while
the kids play. Now that the sunshine seems here to stay, I cannot wait
to get outside...

Whether
planned ahead or last minute, picnics are one of my favourite ways to
spend an afternoon in the shade. Beachside, in a grassy park or in your
own backyard, it doesn't take much to make a meal feel special for grown
ups and kids alike! Canning jars make great containers for salads and
drinks and the farmers markets are full of local berries and goodies
just waiting to be shared on a picnic blanket somewhere. Have a
sun-filled weekend!
