There is no part of the day I love more than the early hours of the evening...particularly in the summertime. There is something so magical about the sun setting and dusk’s arrival. It can make an ordinary night downright enchanting. And that is why I’m particularly fond of cocktail hour…So is the rest of my family as a matter of fact. Haha!

We often get together on the weekends to decompress after a busy week and enjoy one of my mom’s amazing meals. I may not be as naturally good a cook as she is (hey, I’m working on it), but I have managed to master the art of entertaining and, therefore, throw a mean cocktail hour.
Before we all sit down to break bread, we like to sip on a nice glass of wine and put out an appetizer or two while the kiddos play at our feet. There is something so relaxing about simply sitting outside and enjoying the beautiful summer evening, as well as each other’s company!
