The Organized Life, Outdoor Serving Station

Sometimes HH and I just laugh and say that we need an automatic door, like the ones at the grocery store, to accommodate the heavy traffic going in and out of the house…

One thing that cuts down on the flow is setting up an outdoor refreshment station, it really helps slow down the coming and going, and the inning and the outing…

This rolling cart is so handy, it usually stays inside holding toy baskets and other random things

but it easily rolls out the door when it’s needed for entertaining or for busy summer family weekends

Customize the accessories according to who you’re serving

This bucket could be full of beer, or full of snacks!

I like to keep individual snack bags on hand not only for convenience, but humidity is brutal on crispy things

I try to keep some things kid friendly like this plastic beverage server full of ice water so the kiddos can help themselves

The adults get fancier choices

A glass of wine or a martini perhaps?

A boat makes a handy bottle holder!

Lots of colorful accessories

And a fruit filled pitcher ready for sangria

We do keep a big cooler of juice boxes, beer and bottled water on hand outside too

Something for everyone~

Full of temptations

and tasty treats

If you make it easy for everyone to help themselves, you get to sit around and relax!  🌴  😎  🌴

All I need now is a dishwasher that loads and unloads itself!

Do you have any tips or favorite ways to serve summer time treats?
