While most of our delightful concepts now revolve around entertaining adults, we cherish the memories of our children's younger days, when hosting playdates with their friends was a significant part of our lives. And what better time to revisit those nostalgic moments than during a summer month when your kids are around more than ever!
Throughout the years, we have never hesitated to include our boys in our entertaining endeavours, finding joy in playful ways to engage them from a young age. While the primary focus of a playdate is the kids, there's no reason why the adults can't have some fun too.
Nowadays, parents are more committed than ever to instilling healthy eating habits in their children. While I fully support this effort, trying to sneak vegetables into cupcakes or swapping ground beef for ground cauliflower in a burger might not be the best approach. Instead, consider how you can add a healthier twist to foods kids already love by making minor adjustments to recipes and ingredient choices. A concept we will definitely cover in the days to come.
As the saying goes, kids will be kids, and entertaining a younger audience is all about embracing imperfection and going with the flow. Having raised our boys ourselves, we know this is easier said than done, but some of our fondest memories involve a backyard or kitchen filled with kids. It may have been chaotic for a couple of hours, but it was nothing a few glasses (or bottles) of wine couldn't remedy! We take pride in passing on our love of entertaining to our boys, who now find themselves hosting their friends more often than most young adults.
We're excited to dive into this entertaining category with you, so be sure to stay tuned all month!
