Seasonal entertaining sometimes is a challenge here. I am anything but a natural at entertaining. But summer, plus a house with a pool, and half a dozen birthdays, anniversaries and celebrations here at the Schuck house all add up to numerous chances to practice getting summer seasonal entertaining just right.
This year, our new house, new neighbourhood and new pool are all beautiful opportunities to build new friendships, cement old ones and have a summer that is memorable for everyone. My kids have had multiple summer pool parties with friends already and we are getting the hang of that. Plus it’s a ton of fun watching them growing, and watching them grow friendships as well.
This past week we had the chance to celebrate my oldest daughter’s 13th birthday. It was a small, low key, pool party with party snacks and cake. The Birch Lane infusion pitcher is the perfect thing for parties. The Birch Lane infusion pitcher is glass and it holds 78 ounces. It’s currently on sale on line for $47.00. Because the pitcher is glass, we use this beautiful piece indoors. Wouldn’t want an accident near the pool.
It’s incredibly important to hydrate when swimming and hanging out at pool parties in the summer, so an infusion pitcher like this one helps. Plus, I don’t know about you, but my kids resist the idea of drinking water as boring. The infusion chamber of this lovely pitcher means you can spruce up the water with whatever fresh fruit or vegetables you wish. This is perfect for lemons, limes, a hint of mint, or cucumbers. My kids are fans of cucumber water so we trick them into hydrating with fancy cucumber water. Seasonal entertaining in the summer and snacks and refreshing drinks are super important.
