Being outdoors during the summer is a given. With the heat, a cold drink is one of the best things to relax and cool down. Here are four ways to keep your drinks cold without the usual cooler.
1. Keep bottled and canned drinks cold by freezing some water balloons and placing them in a bucket or container. This is a fun way to keep a summer vibe alive at the party. Plus, you can have a water balloon fight with the left over balloons!

S’mores are a classic summer treat. There’s nothing quite like sitting around the campfire, lighting your marshmallow on fire, and blowing it out before smushing it between chocolate and graham crackers. Have your guests saying, “S’more please!” with a s’mores bar! [Read more…]
Keeping everyone cool in the middle of July can be a chore. A pool party is a great way to cool down, but safety is also a must! Here are a few tips to help keep your pool party safe and fun!
1. Life Jackets and Floaties
Not all children know how to swim, or can’t swim very well. This applies to adults as well. Keep some extra inflatables around so everyone can have a good time. You can find these in almost any shape and size, so if you have a theme, match them to it!
2. Supervision
Everyone wants to have fun at a pool party. Make sure that happens by having plenty of supervision. There should be at least two adults present at all times, possibly more depending on the amount of kids. If you know a child can’t swim, keep them in the shallow end.
3. For Adults
Nothing beats the heat like a refreshing drink, just don’t have too many. Be responsible, and use caution.
4. Sunscreen
Sunburns are not fun, and can cause more damage down the road. Slather on the sunscreen (at least SPF 15). Make sure to reapply after long breaks, or if someone towels off.
5. Hire a local lifeguard if needed.
If you are worried about having enough supervision, consider hiring a local lifeguard. They are trained, and most probably wouldn’t mind making a little extra money. This can take some of the stress off of you and allow you to enjoy the party!
Pool parties are a great way to celebrate in the summer. These kinds of party don’t need an occasion, and everyone will have a blast! Enjoy the fun, be safe, and stay cool!

The Beginning
Colton and I grew up in the small town of Piggott and have always known each other through our families. But I remember the first time we talked, I was 5 and he was 8. Him and his grandpa brought a donkey to my house. Of course, I was following Colton around because I thought he was cool. The only thing he said was, “They have big ears don’t they?,” talking about the donkey. We started dating my junior year of high school, and the rest is history! [Read more…]

Food, fun, family, and fireworks. These are what come to mind when someone mentions the 4th of July. Take your BBQ to the next level with these fun Independence Day party ideas.
Menu:
The 4th of July is all about tradition. Nothing gets more traditional than grilling out during the summer. Fire up the grill and get ready to throw on some tasty morsels.
Choose meat and veggies that are simple to prepare, but will turn out perfectly. Grab some corn on the cob, potatoes, or any fresh vegetables that you like, wrap them up in foil with your favorite spices (and a little butter) and place them on the grill with your meat. The foil will save you time on cleanup and cooking everything on the grill will keep the kitchen cool. Grilled chicken breasts basted with bbq sauce, or ribs with a dry rub are always wonderful. Don’t forget that hamburgers and hotdogs are a never-fail crowd pleaser also. For dessert, wow your guests with a beautiful red, white, and blue cheesecake cake, or use fresh strawberries and blueberries to make a more traditional flag cake. [Read more…]
