Our Super Fun, Super Simple Back to School Ice Cream Social
{with Kleenex Hand Towels!}
First things first: Congratulations to Danielle, who gets to try out some awesome Kleenex Hand Towels!! I have emailed you to get your info. You're going to love 'em.
So, we had our little Back to School Ice Cream Social for our kids' friends {and our friends and their kids}. Shamefully, I didn't make any homemade ice cream. The last week of summer is way to overwhelming. I don't know what I was thinking. I didn't even really decorate. But guess what . . . it was still fun!! Sometimes I shy away from entertaining because I have this idea in my head of what I want my party to look like -- gorgeous back drops, too-cute utensils and accessories, elaborate foods -- and I just don't have the energy to execute it. Not that there's anything wrong with those things. They make for awesome parties. But I'm embracing the fact that sometimes I can just have my friends over for some store-bought ice cream in my little 'ol house and that can be awesome, too.
{I had a hard time getting good, crisp pictures of excited little ice cream eating bodies. At lest they were having fun, right?!} I did decorate the tiniest little bit. I rolled out some kraft paper gift wrap on the table and labeled the ice cream and toppings with a Sharpie.
I had to do something, after all. Then, when the party was over, we just rolled up the paper and threw it straight in the trash so clean-up was a breeze. Love that! With so many little kiddies eating messy ice cream the Kleenex Hand Towels were a life saver, too.
{Again . . . the wiggly babies . . .} The moral of the story is: entertaining can be super simple and still be super fun. Thanks to Kleenex Hand Towels for inspiring this little end of summer get-together! If you would like to try Kleenex Hand Towels yourself {and you should!}, you can find them in the paper towel aisle of your local grocery store.
