Who's ready for a 3 day weekend? We're observing Memorial Day over here in the US and this also marks the "unofficial" official start to all things SUMMER! Grilling, bbqs, beach-ing, long summer nights all start now! My mom's birthday is also on Monday (Memorial Day), so Strength and Sunshine will be taking Monday off from our typical posting. We'll see you back here on Wednesday though, don't you worry!
We are seeing rain in the forecast though (every day except Saturday)...not fun, but we'll make the best of it! I'm also apparently dog-sitting next week....I have never taken care of a dog...I'm scared. Make sure you follow me on Instagram as I'm sure I'll be posting numerous IG stories of this "adventure"! Now have a relaxing weekend wherever you are in the world and take a minute to browse the Finisher!
SS Posts from the week:
Monday: Gluten-Free Baked Vegan Bacon Ranch Pasta Skillet (Allergy-Free)
Wednesday: Grilled Chili Lime Chicken (Gluten-Free, Paleo, Allergy-Free)
