Happy Summer!!!

Dog Days of Summer have begun Most working moms are exhausted this time of year. The kids are over school. The uniforms have holes in them and the book bags are held together with duct tape. And then, just like that, Memorial Day comes to help us cope with what we have to do. It gives us a reprieve to prepare for the summer--a less structured life filled with longer nights and more fun.  

Wednesday Wisdom: Celebrate, even if you have to coordinate it yourself!

 Memorial Day fashion

On Memorial Day, I decided to have a cookout that I would organize myself. Usually, when we host cookouts, I make the sides, season the meat and Andre grills it. However, this year, he had to work. So, I decided to proceed on my own. 

The food was good.
Indeed, I managed to make veggie burgers, homemade guacamole, homemade chip dip, two kinds of chicken, hot dogs, pasta salad, grilled asparagus, fried corn and broccoli salad. Doesn't that chicken below make you salivate?! 




However, I am most pleased that I managed to cook it all and not get anything on my white jeans. Pure talent (and lots of luck)!
