Let’s take a walk down memory lane. ❤️

Where was that first real date? What music was playing? What did the air feel like?

Memorial Day began after the Civil War when communities gathered to place flowers on the graves of fallen soldiers. The tradition grew over the years and became the national day of remembrance we know today.

Wear it. Eat it. Write it. Call them.

This is the season for little joys.
