Summer Hosting…

I love hosting. I just love having people over, feed them, have inspiring conversations and laugh a lot until the end of the night. I have missed it

Summer is a whole different kind of hosting. It is mostly hot and things won´t be able to stay out of the fridge for long time periods, also there are flies and bugs around you will not want lon your food. Ice cream and ice cubes melt a lot quicker.

How to avoid a huge mess while hosting in the Summer:

– keep flies away from meat or foods with lots of protein (they love this the most) with a mesh dome

– keep bugs and mosquitos away with a citronella candle

– leave food that will melt or go to waste fast in the fridge until the people really start to eat

– have lots of ice cubes ready to keeps drinks cool and refills in the freezer

– bring the used plates right in the kitchen so you won´t attract flies

These are my top tips for outdoor Summer hosting. These have helped us a ton over the years.

Let us recap this more than joyous ocassion cause it definitely deserves a permanent spot on my blog and in my life. Two weekends ago we celebrated my little daughter´s first birthday and I was so happy but equally sad. Every other mama probably knows what I am talking about. Plus I never thought I could use the term the days are long but the years are short and know exactly what it´s meant to mean.

I have shared a ton of cute birthday themes for first birthday parties and went with the Bee Day theme. It is very cute summery birthday party theme and turned out amazing.

First Bee Day Party

The Cake

My number one source for birthday ideas is Pinterest so I was browsing First Bee Day Cakes and screenshoted about 20 of them only to pick my favorite bits of every one and put it together into one big super cute cake. The top had to look like the bee hive itself cause I thought it was just a gorgeous idea. The top is covered in buttercream and the cake inside was chocolate. So so good.

The cake underneath has been vanilla biscuit and strawberry buttercream covered in bright yellow fondant. The daisies and the little fondant bees make it even more pretty. Almost too pretty to eat but we did and it was delicious.

The High Chair

We got a little smash cake for Helena to dive right in but she was very hesitant and did not start eating until we gave her a fork. What a well behaved little girl. After that she was snacking away on the cake and seemed to enjoy it a lot. I have found the sweetest ONE banner on amazon US and although it took a little longer to get to us it was perfect. The black fringe curtain plus the little balloon arch and the big bee balloon completed the whole backdrop.

The Adult´s Table

The adults table included all the things it needed plus some decor to incorporate the theme like the little beehives and a huge flower centerpiece.

We have recently decided to get a bigger bed cause let´s be honest since both of our kids frequently sneak in at night there just isn´t enough space. I do not know which bed we are going to take but I have found a site (you can check it out here with gorgeours beds just like I envisioned) that has the perfect pieces. I want a beige bed and that gives me a great reason to redo our bedroom. I am finally getting a black and creme boho theme and I couldn´t be more excited.

So since we are still not final our bed decision I have started redecorating around the room. Changing decor. Changing the color of our frames and curtain rods. Searching for new curtains and also decide on a new color for our gray accent wall.

I am very happy with the decor theme I have choosen cause I feel like the color combination is very classic and timeless and I will hopefully love it for a long long time.

I just can´t believe my little girl is turning one soon. CAN´T BELIEVE IT!!! ONE YEAR !!!!

The day I took her home from the hospital is still so very clear to me and now she is crawling and standing and walking very soon and just the sunshine of our every day.

I have thrown three birthday parties for Emilia already and it is the most fun for me to throw a themed party. In another live I probably would become a kid´s party planner.

So Emilia´s first birthday party was Minnie Mouse but of course I wanted something different for our little girl so I sourced Pinterest and let me tell you there are thousands of great ideas. Really hard to pick one cause normally babies this little don´t have much of a preference but I have found one and am very happy with my choice and of course I am looking forward to putting it all together.
