Patriotic Party Ideas - budget friendly!

It's been a while since I have done a party post!  Today I wanted to share some of my previous Patriotic Party ideas with you all.  This Memorial Day weekend coming up, we will host our last party in this house 8(    We have always loved entertaining and having friends and family over for fellowship!


This arrangement was as easy as filling my Ball jars with fresh water and a $ 10 bouquet from the grocery store. Adds that pop of color for the table!


I set this up for a fun breakfast for the kids one year on our deck. Nothing fancy but it was a fun surprise for the kiddos. Served watermelon and more kid friendly food. 


When we entertain, I love to have a "greeting" area. Something that sets the stage for the party. I have a table that I set up before you enter our backyard. Again with the grocery store flowers. A free printable I found on Pinterest and a picnic basket with snacks that they can grab on their way in. 


This is another entry way fun idea. Ground level. Chalkboard sign with some of the flowers I took from the porch and a few decorations. 



Dollar store flags...always a must for patriotic parties!



Easiest dessert other than Popsicles.  Marshmallows dipped in chocolate and then crumbled graham crackers. S mores on a stick!


Easy entertaining idea!  We used our wheel barrow this one year for all the cold drinks..Kids height and easy to refill and dump when we were all done!


Food does not have to be expensive or gourmet!  

I hope you get to celebrate this Memorial Day!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
