May is here, bring on the warmer weather! There’s so much happening this month to look forward to. Tacos for Cinco de Mayo (and ALL the delicious Cinco-inspired recipes), brunch ideas for Mother’s Day, fun cookout ideas for Memorial Day, and a little behind-the-scenes look at life lately. Here’s what’s going on in the month of May!
Behind-The-Scenes Lately
Last month our sweet baby girl turned ONE! If you’re following along on Instagram (opens in a new tab), you probably saw that we had a big party for her with some of our closest friends and family. She had the best time! I can’t believe she’s technically a toddler now.
I’m traveling solo for the first time in a LONG time this month, so feeling all the feels about that! Leaving the kiddos with the hubs makes me feel better in that they’re in good hands, but it’s so tough to leave them, even if it’s just for a few days. It’ll be for a work thing, though, so I’m excited about that!
And then, of course, there are so many fun holidays to look forward to in May before summer comes into full swing. Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day, Memorial Day….all back to back! Not sure what to make? I’ve got ya!
