planning a Memorial Day Weekend party with Hudsonest

Memorial Day Weekend Lunch Celebration

May 27, 2021 · In: Lifestyle, Momlife

Memorial Day weekend is almost here, and we are making all the plans for a Memorial Day Weekend Lunch celebration.

Can you believe we are already celebrating Memorial Day? This year is truly going by so fast. With all the chaos that has been going on over here, from moving to a new home to the end of school, we are keeping things simple this year. How are we celebrating? We are celebrating with a Memorial Day Weekend lunch by the pool.

Memorial Day Weekend Lunch Pool Celebration

Include all things refreshing and light.

Since we are having our little celebration during lunch, it is a must to keep the menu light and refreshing. I can’t do a lot of heavy foods when the temperatures are scolding like they are here right now in Louisiana. How do you keep it light and refreshing? Fruits have got to be included! We opted with strawberries and blueberries because of the color scheme, but you can add whatever fruits you want.

You also don’t want to have anything too sweet. These kids plan to get a lot of energy out in the pool! Sugar cookies and even cute patriotic skewers with fruit and marshmallows are a perfect option. We also love to include sherbets and popsicles. There is also something about a key lime pie that makes for a refreshing and tart dessert.

BBQ chicken is up.

When you are outdoors, you have got to make time for a little BBQ! An easy option for a Memorial Day Weekend lunch is BBQ chicken tenders. They are easy for the kids to pick up and eat and are normally a win for all. We usually will do a few hamburgers and hot dogs too. Nothing wrong with a little bit of a mix.

Paper goods that are up for the task.

Lastly, is setting up the table. First off, we are doing all of this outdoors. There will not be many glass options for this reason. Well because of that and the fact that majority of the guests are little ones. You can still have things looking nice when glass isn’t the main serve ware. What about the paper products? Glad you asked.

Memorial Day Cookies

I am obsessing over these Hudsonest’s paper napkins. They are perfect for any occasion, especially for our Memorial Day Weekend lunch by the pool. They triple-ply paper napkins come in three different sizes. The designs are limited editions, with new designs coming out four times a year. So the range stays small and there’s always something new to look forward to. Luxurious color and design add pleasure whether reconnecting with friends and family, or just making the everyday a little nicer.

Memorial Day Weekend Lunch Spread

As you can see, they will hold for those little wet hands after a splash in the pool.

This weekend caught me off guard with how I was go This weekend caught me off guard with how I was going to feel when I left. Headed to Houston not sure what to expect with the new NCA venue, but also the fact Chloe had sprained her foot earlier that week. As a mom, you second guess all the things… is it bad I let her do this? Am I wrong for telling her she needs to compete? Let me tell you, the moment she walked onto that mat.. I knew. It wasn’t about me, it was about her. This year has been a learning year. Learning a whole new team and learning a whole new position. We have had our emotional ups and downs, but this weekend sealed the deal.

Day 1 didn’t go our teams way- left us in last place. Tough when you know what they can do. Day 2 was their day… hit 0 with a 4 point increase. Moving from last place to 4th with only a 0.5 difference from being in that winner’s circle. When Chloe landed that last pose at the end of day 2, all I could do was cry. They came back and did their thing. Seeing Chloe out there, killing it and loving it is what it’s about. Don’t get me wrong, a cool jacket is something I know she wanted. But… she knows she went into beast mode this weekend, pushing through the issues with her foot, and did the darn thing. I couldn’t be more proud of her and this team! 

@cheerforcelouisiana came to NCA and truly showed out! Glad to say we are a part of this CF family 🩵🖤✨

In case anyone was wondering, playing ‘rock socc In case anyone was wondering, playing ‘rock soccer’ at recess isn’t a good idea the week of NCA 😆 but we loaded down with the essentials and going for that jacket ❤️💙!

Can’t wait to see this team hit the mat! They are something else ✨✨✨ See you soon, Houston!
