From Lifeway Women here is this month’s HomeLife Family Calendar. May is such a busy month. I think even busier than December, but in a different way. Our children are finishing school, preparing to graduate and start new adventures away at college, taking tests, cleaning out desks and dorm rooms. We are planning year-end parties, putting together teacher gifts, and making sure kids stay on track with assignments and projects. Creating family time this month will be especially important to keep everyone centered, grounded and comforted with the knowledge that God always provides. Print a copy and put on the fridge as a reminder that God delights in spending time with you each day.

She taught me how to prepare fabulous food, entertain guests with style and design a traditional home with a pop of color and a splash of animal print. Share my fondness of blending Mother’s mid-century style with a modern spin.

🦞🦞 Comment LINKS, and I`ll send you the shopping sources for my nautical themed tablescape. While a few things are new to me, most are vintage or from my party pantry.
Setting the table is one of my favorite things to do. But, I do try to make it "simply elegant" and do as much as I can the day before, so setting my table can be my single focus.
The shell topiaries are from Mr. Twist`s 60th birthday a few years ago. They`re Styrofoam balls with a variety of shells hot glued all over set on top of wicker planters. Then I scattered a few sizes of starfish on the table, with bowls of salt water taffy to nibble on after dinner.
The wicker pitcher is a Walmart find. I placed a mason jar filled with hydrangeas down inside it. And added a few pieces of blue saliva from my garden.
Let me know what your favorite thing is about the table. 👇👇

Setting the table - part one. I chose a nautical theme for my al fresco poolside party. Seashells, seagrass placemats, bamboo flatware, red, blue, and white. A lovely tablescape is a gift for my guests. Something to catch their eye and make them feel welcomed.
Nothing has to match. It doesn`t need to be new. My table is a small token of appreciation that my guests chose ME to spend the evening with.
Host with intention, not perfection.

😎😎 I`m in my June era! I`ll be honest - the summer is not my favorite season. Here in Texas, it gets super hot. The mosquitoes are big enough to carry you off. But - there are some fun things to make up for it!!
Like picking 🌻sunflowers, making yummy BLTs with garden 🍅 tomatoes, displaying your shell 🐚 collection, and hosting a nautical outdoor dinner party. 🦞

Comment PIZZA and I send you my easy pizza dough recipe. It takes just an hour to rise and can be refrigerated for up to three days.
Set out a variety of toppings and let guests make their own pizzas. You can bake them in your oven. We love our @fontanaforniusa outdoor pizza oven. It`s been so fun to have in our outdoor kitchen.
What`s your favorite pizza toppings? Mine is candied jalapeño, Italian sausage, basil and cheese!
