96Normal0falsefalsefalseEN-USX-NONEX-NONE
Outdoor entertaining is in full swing and I couldn’t be happier. Being outside brings on a relaxed feeling the indoors just can't contend with. Read: Summer nights in the backyard are truly the best.
There are two things I rely on to set the mood for a relaxing night outdoors—music and lighting. So break out the tunes and…..candles or flashlights? No and no! While I love the mood that candlelight gives off, it's not practical (and definitely not safe if kiddos are running around) to have 30 lit candles lining your deck, and a spot light shining in your eyes is just a total buzzkill.
