Are you ready for summer?

Summer officially started last week with Memorial Day. Pools are now open, temperatures are scorching (at least here in Memphis) and kids everywhere are celebrating.

Longer summer days mean fun family cookouts and pool parties with friends. But are you ready for it all? Let Confections by Shara's Paperie help you have a great summer.

While you are relaxing by the pool watching the kids play an intense game of marco polo, you can enjoy a nice drink from your Confections personalized water bottle.

And as the smell of bar-be-que fills the air, you can use your Confections Cutting Board to display appetizers like fresh fruit, cheeses, or veggies and dips.

Since we are in Memphis we thought it would be appropriate to share one of our favorite bar-be-que recipes with you. Let us know what you think!
