Friday Faves

Hello summer and welcome to Friday Faves!

Summer is officially here, baby! Yesterday was the summer solstice, the longest day of the year and the earliest since 1796. Here’s why and here’s some ideas for celebrating. That means easy beach reads, lazy eves in my hammock, and my fill of favorite sandwiches including THE BEST lobster roll you’ll ever pop into your seafood-loving mouth. These sandwiches are incredible, and one of the reasons I love summer so much. I hope you try them too.

But first, let’s dig into this week’s Friday Faves. Get ‘er done!
