A Little Bit About Me
Happy Labor Day Weekend!
I used to dread this holiday.
As a kid, it meant that summer was over. Don’t get me wrong. I loved school. I just loved summer vacation more.
Labor Day also meant that the days would soon get shorter and darker in the evenings. (There was a silver lining as we did gain an extra hour of sleep of course.) Because I played three sports in high school and had some sort of practice every day after school, shorter days meant it would likely be dark by the time I got home from practice.
Bummer.
Fortunately, now I am a grown-up. And I love Labor Day weekend.
I still hate to see summer end but I live in Southern California where summer never really ends. (That is because I can almost guarantee every year we have a few 80 degrees plus days in February!)
I am so excited to have a happy Labor Day weekend! This weekend is a wonderful time to celebrate with family, enjoy the beautiful outdoors and get ready for fall.
I thought it might be fun to share some ways to make it even better.
So today I am sharing lots of recipes and fun ideas to add to your happy Labor Day weekend.
The Best Labor Day Weekend Recipes
This is the best Grilled Chicken with Pistachio Avocado Sauce – marinated in soy sauce, honey, and garlic and grilled to juicy, golden-brown perfection. Then topped with an amazing green pistachio and avocado sauce. So easy!
You are going to love these summer salad recipes.
These recipes are all delicious and I loved making them!
This is a fabulous blueberry salad. Its fresh, crunchy, and delicious.
I love this salad because it has so many wonderful ingredients!
This corn relish is wonderful on tacos, sprinkled into a taco salad or just eaten as a side salad.
These summer desserts are the best!
These easy ice cream cupcakes are a take on ice cream cake in a smaller cupcake size.
These vanilla marshmallows are amazing. By adding a peanut butter graham cracker crust they are now even better!
The mini pies not only look adorable but they also taste great.
The Best Labor Day Weekend Flower Arrangements
These centerpieces are amazing.
I love hydrangea flower arrangements.
Grocery store flowers are my favorite flowers to make flower arrangements.
These summer flower arrangements are the best.
Looking for Some Fall Decor Ideas?
Just in case you are looking for fall decor, I wanted to share the fall florals that I am so in love with. Why do I love these?
It’s simple. They are really cheap and look amazing.
Plus, they last a really long time so you will be reusing these next year. I promise.

Reflections on the Week
Last week was all about fall and it was fun! I still can’t believe how many of you made my Best Fall Pumpkins DIY. Wow. Thank you so much for your comments and love!
It was a busy week writing all of these blog posts. Which was your favorite?
Good Things From Martha – The History of Labor Day and Why We Celebrate it Every Year
My friend Martha Stewart (who yes, STILL doesn’t have any idea who I am) shared the history of Labor Day and why we celebrate it every year. This is very informative!
What’s Ahead for The Week
Next week is going to be very busy. We are filming a commercial Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and I have a lot to get done before they take over my home for three days. We have to completely move out for the entire time so I am not sure if I will have any photos. I have lots of fall ideas to share, including a fall wreath, a fall leaf DIY, a fall pillow (finally!), a fall dinner on the beach, my best fall recipes, and some amazing farmhouse fall decor.
It’s going to be an exciting week at My 100 Year Old Home. Let’s have some fun together.
