Summer Solstice Picnic // Finish Power & Free
In the summertime, our family is always looking for an outdoor adventure. If the sun is out, you’ll catch us swimming in lakes, camping, hiking, or having a picnic. On the afternoon of the Summer Solstice, we packed up some delicious food + drink and headed out into our backyard to throw a picnic and officially welcome in sweet summertime.
^^^ Roman wasn’t certain how to feel about the sweet + tangy strawberry at first. ^^^
^^^ But he decided that he liked it. ^^^

This is the third and final post in my series with Finish – Power & Free. We have now been using the Finish – Power & Free dish washing line since February. It has been a joy. Before we started using Finish, I was close to giving up on my dishwasher. With all of the grit that was left behind on dishes and plates — it wasn’t worth it. But since we’ve started using this new line, all of that has changed. Our dishes come out clean and this mama has more time to spend with her family — living & loving. The fact that the new line of products is designed to be less harsh so that it can even be used with baby products is the icing on the cake. We won’t be going back.
Before I close, I want to share a few details about our picnic in case you’d like to plan your own.
On the Menu
Creamy Kale & Spinach Dip
Guacamole
12 Grain Crackers
Rosemary Raisin Crisps
Organic Strawberries
Red Grapes
Pink Lemonade
Our pretty cloth napkins are Dot and Army. Our picnic blanket is this one from JJ Cole Collections. It’s perfect. I love the colours. The material makes it super-easy to clean up messes (Hello, toddler!) and it folds up into a cute little easy-to-carry tote. We’ll be getting a lot of use out of this at the beach this year. Our picnic tote is this one from Toluca. I love that it’s insulated and keeps everything on the inside perfectly cooled. It will be another summertime staple.
I hope you enjoyed this little peek into our Summer Solstice celebration picnic. I’d love to hear about the ways that your family celebrates the beginning of summer.

I love the look on his face as he tries the strawberry 🙂 So sweet! Looks like a tasty picnic.
I’ve been planning picnics as well! This is so cute 🙂 That creamy kale and spinach dip sounds delish!
I love these photos, Dena! So happy and bright and summery. 🙂
What a great way to celebrate the first day of summer!
And, baby tanks are just too adorable: )
Our favorite traditions are having friends over for food and drinks. Sitting outside and enjoying time together! It really doesn’t get better than that!
Yay for summer! Hope to do a picnic soon as well.
Sleeping in! Oh, wait. We have football practice every morning. Scratch that. How about going to the pool?
Our favorite summer tradition is going on road trips! The hubby loves to drive. We’ll go anywhere and everywhere! In a few weeks, we’re driving from Central NJ to Toronto. We can use the $100 for gas money. Thanks for the opportunity 🙂
I love that picnic bag!
I think our favorite summer tradition is one we’re *hopefully* getting to do tomorrow – going swimming at a waterfall, have a picnic while we’re there, and then go blueberry picking on the way home. 🙂
What an adorable picnic! and of course, great giveaway! 🙂 xo
I love that you are in the pictures with your baby! So sweet and he will love seeing these when he is older.
Our favorite summer tradition is going on beach !
