Karins Kottage Happenings

We had such a fun weekend! We celebrated our youngest grandsons 7th birthday! We created a basketball themed party in the basement. My hubby was the “coach” and we played some fun basketball games with the family.

Then we had 5 of our 6 grandkids spend the night and we had so much fun! We made a fort in the basement, made peanut butter and jelly star sandwiches and just hung out.

Then we held a Memorial Day block party on our street! It was awesome!

We had a neighborhood band come play, rented a bounce house, had some neighbors do face painting for the kids.

Other neighbors set up lots of fun games all down the street.

We even had one teen play the Star spangled banner on his trumpet to start off the evening!

Karins Kottage Linky party highlights

Look at this beautiful porch from Pennys Vintage Home! I love her flowers mixed with her fun pillows!

I am always looking for a fun homemade popsicle recipe to make for my grandkids. Organized island has a yummy strawberry and banana popsicle made with yogurt that I am going to make!

How cute is this patriotic picnic from The ponds Farmhouse! I love that she did not let the rain deter her plans and moved her picnic onto her porch!

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
