Memorial Menu.

If you are like me, you have been counting down the days to this long  weekend for at least two weeks. I am so excited for this weekend, because it’ll be the first warm, non-rainy weekend, in some time. (Hello pool time and good bye untanned legs). Memorial Monday means BBQ, drinks, snacks, and summer foods to me. So if you are cooking, barbecuing, bringing something, or just drinking by the pool, here are some menu options that I’ve been mulling over… Note to self: wear sunscreen this time.[Taco Burgers.]

Let me pose this question to you- can you ever have too many T-shirts and jeans? I think I can safely say, no. I find the T-shirt/denim section of my closet ever growing because there is not seasonality to them, it can be dressed up or down, they are comfy… I don’t think I have to convince you too much with this one.
