Memorial Day weekend is one of my favorites of the year - it feels like official start of summer and I always feel pressured (in the best way possible) to make it special. This weekend we're going out with friends for a fried chicken dinner, heading to to the beach, and barbecuing in our backyard. Have a great weekend!
