So it occurred to me today, a website that appeals to parents should occasionally discuss some well, you know grown-up things. Like ways to unwind and relax after a long hard day with the kids, or ways to get together with friends you just don’t see as often as you’d like to anymore, and maybe even perhaps a few stories about how to get involved in your community and regain that smalltown atmosphere we’ve all been missing.
When I saw the idea for this rustic, outdoor get together posted on The Little Things, I knew it had to be the first installment of our new section. So, what do you say, are you up for an old-fashioned Harvest Party?
It looks amazing, right? The inspiration board for this party was put together by Jess of The Finer Things. She took me back to a time when I used to know everyone in my community and if we weren’t related by blood – we at least claimed to be and everyone called everyone Uncle So and So and Aunt Whatever because that’s just the way it was. If you’d like to experience something like this yourself, Jess suggests a cozy and casual get-together complete with a bonfire, smores, and maybe even a hayride. Conjure up enough folks for a game of tag football, or assign folks to bring hot cider, marshmallows, hot dogs, and buns and have yourself a weenie roast. This event is marketed towards the grown-ups but it would be a great time for kids of all ages too
