Today was Aunt Helen’s b-day and I planned a small, simple surprised b-day picnic. The weather was perfect for light sandwiches and teeny, tiny cupcakes.
We are so lucky to live right by the harbor. It is a 2 min walk, if even that, behind our place. During the summer months, this is where my husband takes us out to sail.
Chocolate + butter creme frosting – my favorite!
Packed some light sandwiches made of arugula, avocado, ham, and muenster cheese on honey wheat bread.
Paired w/ chips + soda and we were ready to go!
Do you picnic a lot during the summer months?
Til next post, Kellie.
Very healthy and yummy, I love the simpleness and very balanced picnic. I’m enjoying checking out your blog. Great stuff on here.

I believe cupcakes should never be teeny tiny!

If the weather is warm enough, we picnic. Baby Eli adores the outdoors. We find every excuse we can to spend time outside.

Living in the country, I/we are blessed to have the ‘typical’ Midwest farm home with a lovely front porch. As soon as the temps warm consistently, there is a wicker swing (hung from the ceiling), plants/plant stands, and a small table for 2 where hubby and I eat most all our meals. It faces west, with some pine trees for shade, and has a gorgeous pastoral view! We never tire of it!!! Your post today was so wonderfully sweet…….isn’t buttercream the best????? Thank you for taking us along! Hugs, Doreen
