Create a Memorable Memorial Day

May 24, 2020 | ,

Memorial Day is a time to honor members of the armed forces who have given their lives in service to our country. It also means an extra day to spend time with family—but how? Try one of these family friendly and kid-approved ways to enjoy your time. Create your own tradition this holiday! Plus, we’ve passed along some of our favorite little recipes to enjoy.

We are grandparents; however, right now, we are not necessarily in charge of our grandchildren, because we are the ones who are the most at risk.
