Saturday Search: BBQ

What are you doing for Memorial Day? Well, if you're thinking about getting your grill on, check out these ideas!

Invites from invitealicious are a great way to get some friends and family together for some great outdoor fun.

This great patriotic apron from JanKanSew is perfect for that Memorial Day weekend barbeque or anytime really.

One of my fave things to put on the grill is watermelon. Just grill it for about 40 seconds of each side -- delish!

I love these eco-friendly picnic napkins from ecomum. You know that juicy grilled watermelon is gonna drip on your chin! ;)

Eco Monday: Plastiki: Plight of Platics in the Ocean

Plastiki is a boat made from recycled materials. They have travelled in this special boat to draw attention to the plight of plastics in our oceans. Read more here to see what you can do to make a difference. Be sure to check out the download section for guides on what plastics to avoid and which ones can be recycled, a guide to fish and other useful fun stuff.
