{capture the moment}: Dinner & a Sneak Peek

...........................................................................................
I figured it would be best to start this post with another sneak peek! This is a little piece of a new background set we are releasing this month. I am so excited to share this new set with you next week as we countdown to the June release, because it offers a very innovative concept that we are looking forward to playing off of throughout the coming year! You'll love it just as much as Polka Dot Basics, if not more!

Today will be a busy, happy Sunday in our house. I have gotten up early this morning to prepare for dinner guests we are having this evening. As I've said before, I love to cook. One of my favorite tasks is chopping. There is just something therapeutic about the precision that really speaks to me. We are having two couples over tonight and we are really looking forward to their company. The menu I have planned is a simple summer compilation that we will be eating outside. The weather is hot & muggy today, but the shade of the evening should bring some relief and it looks like we will be able to eat under a blanket of a clear starry sky. Here's tonight's menu. I will try to remember to take photos of each of the dishes and share recipes with you throughout the week!
