Parenting Lesson of the Day: The more kids the merrier.
One of the best part’s about being on Martha’s Vineyard for us is catching up with friends. We chose this week especially to come out and visit because we knew our friends would be here as well. Early in the week we took an awesome boat trip with our friend Phoebe from Big Girls, Small Kitchen, (more on that soon!), and the next night our friends Adam and Kate came over with their two boys for a BBQ.
Since it’s summer vacation and we’re all in a relaxed mindset we put together a fun, easy menu for everyone. During naptime we put the chicken in to marinate, made the peach crisp and whipped up a pitcher of these awesome margheritas. My friend Char gave me this recipe and I knew there was no better time to give it a try. Sweet and tasty, they are the perfect refreshment for an evening in the yard with the kids.

This was a huge hit with the adults, the children stuck with basic watermelon pieces, which suited them just fine.
