| on the list: host an end of summer bbq |

happy wednesday, guys! i feel like this week is just flying by.  i have been having a real itch to host a fun end of summer bbq: what better way to say goodbye to summer than hosting a party with friends, sun and yummy food?  check out my party inspiration below:

- paperless post x j.crew evites : paperless post has the cutest evites ever: inviting your guests with an adorable ecard not only will save you some money it will also help set the vibe for your party. {i loved the gather the girls invite... make it a fun bbq for you and your girls! }
- domaine recently did a post on "how to host the perfect picnic".  if you live in an apartment or your yard just isn't ready to host a party going to a nearby park or beach can be the perfect alternative.
- yummy and creative drink recipes are always a staple for a party; i loved this take on a refreshing fruit juice (perhaps with a bit of bubbly ;)).
- if you want to host a end of summer dinner i liked "the dinner alfresco guide"by the everyday girl.  I have not decided a time for our end of summer bbq but planning a night party may be fun.  fire pit, sunsets and a reason to dress up a bit.
- menu inspirations found here and here.
- love this idea of fresh florals and meat& cheese platters.



| memorial day in new england |

we leave for new england tomorrow morning.  we'll be in boston & maine for the week - we're so excited to head east and we hope the weather will cooraporate with our time there.  i feel like the patriotism on the east coast is in full force on holidays like memorial day or the 4th of july so it makes it that much more  fun to be there during those times...also, I love a fun bbq with friends and family especially when you can theme cook!  hope you all have a great long weekend and thank you, to those lost their lives fighting for our country.
