Summer Backyard Picnic

This post has been sponsored by Bed Bath & Beyond. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

It’s the end of August…school has started and summer is winding down.  I feel like this year has been flying by, and now summer is almost to an end?!  I don’t know if I’m ready for Iowa winter!

In less than a month, it’s going to officially be fall, but there’s still time to enjoy the last bit of summer by having an outdoor picnic with the family!  Yes, you can have a picnic at a park, but why not just stay home and have it out in your backyard?  The kids can play in the backyard, sit down to eat, and play some more when they’re done.  The best part is you’re only steps away from your house to put everything away 😉

I was so excited to partner with Bed Bath and Beyond for our backyard picnic!  All the products in our backyard picnic is from there, and you can purchase these items in-store or online.

I love how our picnic turned out!

When I saw these platter and plates from their website, it just shouted, “SUMMER!” to me.  I love the colors!

Of course I went with these placemats.  If you’ve been following me for awhile, I have an oval version of this that I use all the time for table settings.  Also, salt and pepper shakers can be boring, but not if you have these antique stained salt and pepper mill!

I decided to put fruit in these small blue mason jars instead of having it in a big bowl.  This is perfect for the little ones!

Yeah it’s just a picnic, but it’s still nice to have a centerpiece like flowers to dress up the space a bit!  I used this cement planter as my vase for these pretty sunflowers.  I set the flowers on this wood/galvanized tray which is perfect to place stuff on for stability like beverages.  Check out this pitcher and glasses that comes with a rattan sleeve giving your outdoor entertaining a rustic feel.

These wooden forks and spoons come in a set of 100 which can also be used for parties.  I tied them onto the gray and white striped Kate Spade napkins.

Let’s be real, the kids only care about dessert 😉  Love this tiered stand that can hold a lot of desserts!  It actually comes as a 3 tier stand, but you can make it 2 tier like what I did here.

To carry items from the house to the backyard, I used this seagrass bag.  We have a garden, and we use this bag to haul our fresh fruits and vegetables from the garden too.

You know it’s a special occasion when mom buys juice pouches!  I don’t buy it that often because they can go through those so fast.  I filled up this galvanized beverage pail with ice and the juice pouches to keep the drinks cold for the kids.

You can use any blanket of course for your picnic, and I used two and layered it!  The blue knit blanket is on the bottom, and it comes in 3 other colors.  The cream chunky blanket gives this picnic that warm cozy feel.  My kids love how soft it is!

Hope you enjoyed this blog post!  Happy Monday!

Life got extra busy this year when my youngest Sebastian started sports.  Going from 3 kids in activities/sports to 4 kids was a huge change for our us!  #ad I spend a lot of my time driving them around, and I’m so glad as a #WalmartPlus member, I can save up to 10¢ per gallon at Exxon and Mobil gas stations, select Walmart and Murphy gas stations, and Sam’s Club locations across the country.  You just sign into your Walmart+ account on the @Walmart app, enter your fuel pump number, select your grade, and start fueling! 

*Fuel discount varies by location & station, subject to change

So thankful for these four!  They complete me, and I’m so glad God picked me to be their mom.  Johannah was begging for another one while we were at church this morning… 😬🙅🏻‍♀️😬 Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there!!

My youngest that’s in Kindergarten reminded me today that he has 3 more weeks of school left.  I have mixed emotions about this.  HA!  ;-)  #ad During the summer, it’s nonstop snacking, and I’m glad I have a membership to the Walmart+ program!  My favorite part is their free same-day delivery on fresh, high quality groceries at the same low prices as in store ($35 order minimum. Restrictions apply).  I don’t have to spend time out of my day going to the store, but instead, stay in my house and order my groceries through the Walmart app.  I signed up for the Walmart+ membership in 2020, and there are no regrets!  More info on the blog by going to the link in my bio! #WalmartPlus @walmart

I didn’t feel like editing a reel, so here’s a candid night time view… :-) Bash and I were kicking a soccer ball back and forth, and GiGi went outside to go to the bathroom. I don’t know where everyone else went 😂. (Outdoor lanterns from @primo_lighting_international )

I am loving all the spring pieces from the Free Assembly line at @walmartfashion !  #ad Most of the time you'll see my kids wearing athletic clothes, so I like how these pieces are stylish and comfortable!  So many fun spring colors, and you can never go wrong with a stripe pattern.  It gives any outfit a more preppy/dressed-up look. Check out the blog for links and more images!  #FreeAssembly #WalmartFashion
