Hey, guys! I just wanted to pop in real quick and wish you a very happy Memorial Day!
Also, here are a few fun random weekend moments (from the past month or so). I love it when I get a chance to share random snapshots with you! Randomness is a lost art in blogging these days.
(above) Last night we went to The Hook for the first time. I had heard rumors about the Frosty Pimm’s Cup and there are zero things I love more on the weekend than sipping a cocktail on a porch. It was the best. They had a bunch of cute yard games too. Will be back many times this summer. I want to take Emma and Trey; it’s definitely their vibe!
We’re nothing if not creatures of habit, so almost every weekend we go to The Nashville Farmer’s Market and grab a coffee, sometimes a fresh juice, maybe some peaches and usually at least one plant from Garden’s of Babylon.
We went to Farmer’s Market of the Ozarks a LOT when we lived in Missouri, and so I guess it’s one of the rituals we were able to find another version of in our new home.
We noticed we were already starting to forget to try new places, so we made a commitment to try at least one new spot (whether it be food, shopping or just a happy hour) during the summer. We’re not traveling very much this summer (just two trips), so we should be able to try a LOT of new things. This is very exciting to me. It’s our first summer in Nashville, and we really want to experience as much as we can. (Please leave any suggestions you have in the comments!)
This past week we tried Bar Taco with most of the ABM team (some people were in town to visit and we met a new team member for the first time!), and we really loved it. We took some cheesy mural photos (above) while waiting and got cupcakes after. Pretty freaking perfect if you ask me!
And here’s one of me and Penny posing in front of the cutest little flower truck. She’s such a gem!
Well, I guess that’s all I have for now. I hope you have the day off work and are doing something special with friends and family. Jeremy and I are having a big catch up day since we had guests in town all last week, and if I complete my whole list, I have a little reward planned for tonight (and, yes, it involves shopping for plants – I am very predictable). LOVE YOU GUYS!! Elsie
PS- If you love sales and shopping as much as I do, we have a pretty sweet secret sale going on today. You can get 20% off any Oui Fresh accessories (purses or sunnies) using the code OuiLoveYa This sale will expire tomorrow, so go get em!

If you haven’t tried Burger Up on 12 south, the food is FANTASTIC!!
some time soon be sure to try dozen bakery! it’s great for pastries, pies, bread, and even a quick lunch- their grain salads are amazing!
Love this! What an awesome ritual, and a great post to promote local small businesses in Nashville.
That looks like a fun day, I hope you had a great time!

Memorial Day is designated to honor those who have died while serving their country. Something to keep in mind when wishing others a happy Memorial Day.

The flower truck is adorable!
Riverside Grill Shack is easily the best burger I’ve ever eaten. Definitely check it out!
Thanks for posting what I was thinking.
I’m so sorry for messing up my phrasing. I (and all of us) have SO MUCH respect, love and gratitude for veterans including our own friends and family members.
Sadly on the internet there is so much room for being misinterpreted and often judged for what we say and even don’t say. I wish that our intentions could come through like they would in person. It’s so sad to me how many times I have offended people on accident.
Anyway! If you are sincerely concerned you can know that I was thinking about my grandfathers and my friends who served in the military all day yesterday. Hope that helps you see more beyond the screen. xx- Elsie
Cafe coco, pfunky griddle, calypso cafe, and Mcmanara’s. Also, Nashville Symphony is starting their free summer concerts in local parks.
My intention was to not make anyone feel bad, I mostly just think happy is a bizarre word to use for Memorial Day since it’s specifically for fallen soldiers as opposed to all military veterans. But I understand it’s a common phrase for the weekend that a lot of people use. I’m Canadian!
Great post. Thanks for Posting. Its very impressive and interesting.
