National Picnic Day falls on the 23rd day of April each year. Who knew there was day for this, but I’m not one to turn down an opportunity to hang with my girls and enjoy some grown up drinks and appetizers! Picnic comes from the French word piquenique which means a meal eaten outdoors. I’m typically anti-nature but the weather has been amazing so I couldn’t pass that up!

This year I had the pleasure of enjoying an afternoon picnic with 4 other amazing women: Malia of Lia Went Where, , Melissa of Fab Glance, Kay of I Am Kay Elle and Tomiko of Passports & Grubs.

No picnic would be complete without a nice spread! You can either go all out or you can keep it simple.

Basically all of the major food groups! LOL [Read more…]
