✨ Get ready for Labor Day


Hi Reader --

The days are cooling down (sometimes - it's currently humid as can be), my girls are back in school, and Labor Day weekend is upon us.

We're headed to South Haven one more time before it really cools off, but we'll be home for Labor Day.

My husband usually grills/smokes some meat, but I also like to make some things inside to round out the menu (especially when weather doesn't cooperate).
