FAMILY LIVING with kids

Easy Like Sunday Morning: My Take on The Backyard Brunch in Blueprint magazine

Easy Like Sunday Morning by Blueprint

Last month, I talked to you about the fact that with many of my friends having babies, inviting family and friends over for brunch may become more popular than my late dinner parties.

I saw this article in the May/June edition of Blueprint magazine. They arrive to the same conclusion: parents with young children prefer brunch parties.

By the way, I did not forget to do the amazing muffin presentation I promised you. It is coming!

The Blueprint magazine set the brunch in a cheerful backyard setting. The basic idea is to plan in advance the playing areas with the right toys for the kids that will be coming.

Then set a beautiful table for the parents to relax but make sure that it is easy for them to watch the young children. I like the way they lined up the breakfast buffet.

The Backyard Brunch in Blueprint magazine

I encourage you to read the article in May/June edition of Blueprint magazine. It is interesting. After go to Martha Stewart Web site, you will find additional planning tips plus the brunch recipes.

Little note: Starting with this post, you can now enlarge the photos. I updated my publishing method to better serve you.

Update: I received the Blueprint magazine through a swap I made with Carrie from Notes of a middle child. In her blog, she chronicles her adventures in sewing, escapades in the kitchen and whatever else strikes her fancy. Thank you Carrie.

    I am certainly going to share these ideas. I love to eat outdoors and especially love Brunches. Thanks for sharing.
