In case you haven't noticed, I have a passion for celebrating life around the table; and the Southern girl in me loves to play with table top decor that finds its origins in the yard, or the china cabinet. Celebrate Mom with a Beach Party Table provided the perfect backdrop for what inspires me to embrace the beach as often as possible.

I saved dessert for last. Ellen's Sugar Cookie Dough Tart takes the form of a pizza that WOWS! Top it with a Pom-Berry Shake on the side and you have the perfect ending for a day at the beach.
