5 Fun Ways To Enjoy Your Outdoor Dining Space

I prefer eating outdoors in the summer. To make meals even more festive, consider these tips. And remember, keep it simple!

1.  String a set of outdoor bistro lights for a celebratory flair. I love these bulbs, and have them hanging in my sun porch.

2.  Arrange a floral bouquet from your seasonal garden as an impromptu centerpiece.

3. Consider a long outdoor bench that can seat lots of people. Plus, that type of seating is flexible for kids and pets.

4.  Use lots of color. Mismatched acrylic glasses and plates are fun. The more vibrant, the better.

5.  Choose your outdoor furniture to handle all kinds of weather.

If you love exotic tropical islands featuring exquisite international cuisine, then my summer beach read, Maeve, is for you. You will love this sweet romance, set on the beautiful French island of Corsica, France.

He’s all business. She loves to laugh. When business conflicts with pleasure, what could possibly go wrong?

Maeve Doherty needed a hard-earned break from Ireland’s rainy weather, as well as caring for her younger brother. When the offer from Perfect Match to enjoy a week on an island of her choice arrived, she hesitated.
But not for long.

She’d always wanted to visit Corsica. Besides, who passed up free?
All right, so she'd spend the week with a match. On her dating profile, she’d added that she was a workaholic. Hopefully, so was he.

Edward Newell had one thing on his mind when he reached Corsica, and it didn't involve meeting a perfect match. Dating? Love? Romance? Not for him.
He was determined to find the picture-perfect location for his thriving hotel chain.

When unexpected attraction burns for the beautiful Maeve, and business conflicts with pleasure, what could possibly go wrong?
