    My friend taught me about the gas tank thing. I had no idea haha and my husband doesn’t necessarily know everything, but he’s annoyingly good at everything. It drives me insane.

  • #ad Backyard BBQs are my favorite excuse to slow down, eat good food, and spend time with family ☀️🍗

This setup came together SO easily thanks to @SoloCup products — sturdy cups, dependable plates, and way less stress when hosting 🙌🏻

Hosting tip: keep the menu simple, make the setup fun, and use products that can actually handle a full plate of BBQ (& make clean up a breeze!) 😂

Menu tonight:
✨ Bacon wrapped BBQ chicken skewers
✨ Potato salad
✨ Chips + pickles
✨ Rolls
✨ Pink lemonade

Now who’s bringing dessert? 👀

  • What I served vs. What actually got eaten 💙❤️ #ad #OceanSprayPartner

I put together the cutest little summer snack board! Everything was festive and styled in red, white, & blue for the summer holidays & the @oceansprayinc Fireworks Cranberry Mix from @samsclub was hands down THE FAVORITE! 💥

It has Craisins® Dried Cranberries + popping candy clusters that make every bite feel like a celebration. 🎉 Everyone kept coming back for them, kids and adults. It was gone every time I turned around. This is staying in my rotation all summer for BBQs, pool days, all the hosting moments.
