Summer — the season of backyard BBQ’s and intimate outdoor dinner gatherings. There is something magical about dining al fresco whether it’s under the night sky with a table lit by globe lights, on a picnic blanket on the beach, or a rustic feast on a farm sampling the season’s freshly picked produce. The warm weather brings people together to catch up after a long winter and create new memories.
Every summer I love to host at least one dinner for a small group of friends and/or family.I really enjoy setting up colorful tablescapes and preparing a hodgepodge of small appetizing plates for guests to sample over wine.

Kiel and I spent last weekend in Newport with the Mount Gay Rum team to view the Volvo Ocean Races, and celebrate our KJP x Mount Gay Rum watch collaboration.

The long weekend has arrived! I dreamt about Memorial Day weekend all winter long, especially during April’s snowstorms.

There's no feeling like leaf peeping in a big, cozy sweater on a brisk New England Fall day. Load up the family wagon, stop for some apple cider donuts, and have yourself an Autumn adventure to remember.
