Let’s talk Pinterest for a minute
I LOVE Pinterest, and yes it can be addicting and a time sucker, but it’s also full of ideas for just about anything you can think of, and my favorite thing about Pinterest is using it as a personal organizational tool
Instead of trying to keep ideas floating around in your head, make a Pinterest board
When there is an upcoming week or weekend full of family at the beach, the first thing I do is begin planning the food. We do go out occasionally for lunch, but with 4 very active little ones, and crowded restaurants in the summertime, we much prefer to stay home and grill
This weekend I’m doing some advance planning for the 4th week,
when we will have a house full for 5-6 days
Pinterest is where I begin
I made a 4th of July Recipes board and divided it into sections.
Do you use the sections to organize your boards? This is such a brilliant improvement to the format and it makes it so easy to find things quickly
If you are the host or hostess, being organized is the best way to invest your time because it will save you so much time and stress later, and you can be relaxed and enjoy as much as everyone else
I ordered some gourmet burgers from Omaha Steaks, they have a whole new line of “Gourmet Burgers” with some mouthwatering toppings to go with them, like Smokey Bacon Jam, Sweet Bourbon Onions, & Dijon Mustard Aioli. These will make wonderful quick dinners
Here are some favorite recipes and ideas that are perfect for summer occasions

🇺🇸. Those gourmet burgers sound good! I’ll be checking those out 😉
I know how organized you are and you certainly need to be with a house full for a week. I know you’ve got it covered with your gorgeous painted 4th of July tablescapes and decor. I know the kiddos can’t wait to get there and party and play and best of all eat. How wonderful for your family:)
Hugs and happy week……
Thanks Emily, we are resting up for the coming invasion 😂
I love reading your blog! Your 4th of July ideas are fabulous! Where is your condo…is it Gulf Shores Alabama? Your recipes are especially helpful for me. Thank you!
Oh, thank you! We have a house in Orange Beach Al, 10 miles east of Gulf Shores. So glad you are enjoying the recipes!
Hooray for the red, white and blue! Thanks for telling us about the “sections” area of Pinterest, I didn’t know that. Love all the patriotic ideas. 🇺🇸😁
I haven’t organized all my boards into sections yet, but they really do make it much easier to see and manage your pins, thanks Cyndi
Lots of fun ideas and bright color! I never seem to go to my pinterest page, though on occasion I’ll save something there. I should… just don’t!
Save a sweet bourbon onion burger for me! Sounds like you’ve got the 4th all planned out Jenna-have fun:@)
What an inspiring display of 4th of July creativity! Thanks for sharing with all of us.
thanks Sandra, we love holidays!
Beautiful post of a 4th of July tribute.

So many great ideas, Jenna! You have to be organized with a house filled with guests and we know that water and sun makes everyone hungry! You are an entertaining and hospitable hostess!
thank you Pam, I get lots of help!
I hope you have two large refrigerators and a freezer for your crew and family Jenna! Lots of planning and deliciousness at your beach house!
