4th of July Inspired Summer Charcuterie Board

4th of July Inspired Summer Charcuterie Board

One of my favorite things in the world is a good charcuterie board! I’ve always been a huge fan of charcuterie boards ever since I could remember. Whether you’re hosting a cocktail dinner party with friends, a date night with your special someone, or a quiet night in with your girl friends – they’re the perfect (and super easy) addition to your table.

I think one of my favorite things about making charcuterie boards is that they are both like a puzzle and a work of art. They are like a puzzle in the way that you want to fit as much on the board as possible. Meanwhile, they are like a piece of art as you build the boards to combine flavors, colors, and textures. When I posted my first charcuterie board to my Facebook and Instagram, everyone went crazy for it. I ended up drafting a blog post on how people could make their own crowd-pleasing charcuterie boards last summer. You can read that post, HERE.

With something for everyone, I think that charcuterie and grazing boards are one of the best (and easiest) ways to please a crowd. They’re one of my favorite things to incorporate into holiday events and dinners with friends and family. With Rob and I’s families in town for the 4th of July this year, I knew I wanted to create a 4th of July inspired summer charcuterie board for one night featuring a red, white, and blue color palette.

Celebrating John’s first year of holidays is som Celebrating John’s first year of holidays is something that I have loved and looked forward to so much. While we will be teaching John the real meaning behind Easter as he grows, I think celebrating with a fun Easter basket each year will be a great way to kick off the Spring season. I remember growing up my mom always had Easter baskets waiting for us in the morning, with candy filled eggs, fun activities, and little seasonal toys / treats. My parents would hide those plastic eggs in our yard, and we’d hunt (and re-hunt) them for hours. It’s those memories and traditions that I cherish and hope to start with John this year. I had so much fun this week putting together a little basket for John’s first Easter. I shared all the details on what’s inside as well as a lot of other baby Easter basket ideas over on the blog today if you’re in need of last minute inspiration! ➡️ ahostinghome.com or click the link in my profile bio. ✨ #ahostinghome

I love when a shopping trip turns into a major str I love when a shopping trip turns into a major stroke of inspiration! We picked up these new beautiful stoneware dishes over the weekend, and I immediately felt so inspired to create a sweet and simple Spring tablescape with them. The lemon jars and greenery in my dough bowl give off a fresh Spring feel. Meanwhile, with the subtle touches of the season with the rabbit linen napkins and the garden label place cards, I think it’s really the perfect look for Easter, Mother’s Day, or any other meal with your loved ones that you want to make a little more special this Spring.

hello Spring,☀️👋🏼 so nice of you to join hello Spring,☀️👋🏼 so nice of you to join us. Leave the pollen at home and let’s make some memories. I don’t know about you but I am always SO excited at the start of a new season. I’m looking forward to our master bathroom / shower (hopefully 🤪) being finished — and a bunch of other DIY projects I have planned (and promise not to leave Rob in charge of 😂) to refresh our home this year. I’m also so excited for sunny days and warmer weather to start getting outside with this babe! ☀️👶🏼🦋 What are you looking forward to this Spring? I’ll be back tomorrow to share a simple spring tablescape in my dining room featuring some new dishes that I snagged while shopping this weekend! #ahostinghome
Can someone please tell me how this little nugget Can someone please tell me how this little nugget is 5 MONTHS OLD today!? 🌈🦋 John Robert is a spunky firecracker who would rather stand (and run) than practice sitting still. He loves his snuggle puppy (and real puppy, Willie 🐶), anything Sophie the giraffe, and rolling over to try to get out of tummy time. He’s currently kicking my butt sleep training and knows he has his mama wrapped around his little fingers! I love this sweet little man more than anything. 💛👶🏼 #ahostinghome @thecathynugent

Coming to y’all from baby jail — and when you’re a mom to a baby, 💩 happens. (No literally.) I’m all about making my life easier, and the @_mollieollie_ Mimmo Caddy has been one of my favorite new baby items because it keeps everything I need in one place. No more running around the house or back and forth to the nursery to grab baby essentials (and interrupting valuable play time!) It’s super durable, keeps its shape even when empty, and it’s made of a soft chemical-free felt material that makes it safe to hold all your baby’s essentials. Not to mention, POCKETS for all the things. 😍 I think what I’m most excited for though is how it’s going to make car diaper changes on our road trips this summer SO much easier. (Who else hates public restrooms? 🙋🏼‍♀️)

Showing y’all an up close look (and what I keep in it!) in Stories today! Visit the link in my profile bio and use the code 10hosting for 10% off your own Mimmo Caddy! ✨👶🏼

John Robert slept in his own room in his crib last John Robert slept in his own room in his crib last night for the first time (other than for naps) and I bawled like a baby as I prayed over him and rocked him to sleep. (&& then we saw each other again 2 hours later because #4monthsleepregression 😅) I know everyone tells you they grow up fast, but I feel like the past 4.5 months have gone by in a blink of an eye. I found myself SO upset already thinking of things I wish I had gotten to do in his newborn stage and wondering if I’m soaking up enough of the tiny precious moments I get with him everyday. (But really is that even possible?) Before I know it this room will be a big boy room, and then before I know it again he’ll be grown and on his own. I can’t wait to watch him grow up and experience life with him but oh gosh, I want him to stay this little forever. Andddd Here I go again... 😭🤧 #ahostinghome
