We’re Hosting The Labor Day Bash This Year! #HebrewNational #99SummerDays


This weekend we are hosting our Labor Day bash with our family, and I can’t wait! It’s the first time we will celebrate the holiday in our new home (or ever), and the fourth barbecue party we had this summer. We discovered we love throwing parties!

I headed over to Trader Joe’s to pick up the goodies for the party, including beef and turkey burgers, Hebrew National beef and 97% fat free franks, an assortment of veggies for the salads and veggie kebabs (love those, roasted vegetables are awesome), and some natural sodas, water, coffees and teas for beverages (we like to keep things basically healthy even when we host parties- so our menu is pretty much stuff we would eat ourselves in our own home).

Then I headed over to a more local market to pick up the party supplies and condiments, such as Hunt’s ketchup, Gulden’s mustard, pickles, paper plates and cups, and plastic utensils. (I want to have fun too, not wash dishes after!)

We plan to serve my favorite romaine lettuce salad, bbq’ed beef and turkey burgers, Hebrew National beef franks, vegetable kebabs, and of course the hot dog salad that was a hit at our last bbq! I made a delicious mix of chopped Hebrew National beef franks, red beans, diced tomatoes and chopped cilantro, and it was great.

For the kids, we are setting up a game section, with sidewalk chalk so they can decorate the side of our house and our new patio ground with their art, balls and pogo sticks, and a pinata (my son is obsessed with these lately, even though he has never, ever, ever been able to hit a swinging pinata- those things are tricky!)

What are your Labor Day plans?

  • We only eat Hebrew National. This looks like such a fun time.

  • Mellisa

    I’m so sad that summer is almost over. These look great and I will definitely plan on making some before fall hits.

  • I’m picking some up for the weekend!

  • We’ll be doing much the same thing you’re doing and having a backyard BBQ party with some friends!

  • We’re actually going out of town this weekend as we’re a little tired of BBQ.

  • Jennifer @ The Quirky Momma

    I’m actually doing nothing on Labor Day weekend. We just returned from a very long and exhausting vacation so we’re staying home.

  • We actually have no Labor Day plans 🙁 Kids go back to school the day after Labor Day here so we try to keep things calm the night before the first day.

  • I hope to have lunch with some fantastic women on Labor Day. I hope you have a blast.

  • We love Hebrew National! That sounds like a great party!

  • It looks like the makings of a great party!

  • Sounds like it’s going to be quite a bash! Honestly, I don’t have any plans for Labor Day since it doesn’t seem like my family is going to be doing anything, so I guess it’s just a weekend for me to kick back and relax. 🙂

  • We’re going to my in-laws. Lots of food family and fun! Of course we’ll be BBQ’n it up too 🙂

  • Looks like we’ll be setting up an irrigation system for our house foundation in the hot Texas sun — Your BBQ sounds like a much better option!

  • Sounds like a great party! We’re grilling out, too.

  • I am so excited for a little labor day relaxation with our Hewbrew National as well. I hope you have a great one.

  • We aren’t doing anything special for LD but after this post, I wish I had some party plans in the works!!!!

  • It looks like you’re going to have a delicious Labor Day! We will be celebrating with family and wishing summer a fond farewell with my dad’s famous pulled pork sandwiches.

  • We are just relaxing for the holiday weekend.

  • I wish we were having a Labor Day cookout. I have an awesome new indoor grill coming soon though, so it looks like we will be able to enough Hebrew Nationals all winter long!

  • We don’t have any real labor day plans but yours sound like fun! I wish we were throwing or going to a party.

  • Have fun at your bash! We are just having a small cookout for family.

  • Donna

    We just wrapped up a 13 show of “Tom Sawyer” at our children’s theatre with a cast party last night where we didn’t get home until almost 11pm. Today (Sunday) will be the first time in 2 months where we didn’t have either rehearsals or performances on a Sunday, so I’m not leaving my house. 🙂 As for Labor Day, my nephew is having a birthday party, so we’ll go to that. I’m sad that summer is over, though. But I’ll eat hot dogs anytime of the year. 🙂

  • we drove out to Michigan for fun on the lake and BBQ

  • Jennifer @ MySweetSanity

    Oh your bash sounds fun and yummy. We are having a decent sized family gathering. Mostly it’s to celebrate my brother’s engagement.

  • How fun!! I love those icepop maker cups!

    We didn’t do anything today because unfortunately, my husband had to work 🙁 So it was just a nice chill day at home. I was planning to grill out just me and the girls but then the rain came through and ruined my plans.

  • My husband had to work so the kids and I just stayed at home and played around here.

  • Sounds like it’s going to be a great day! I have to ask, what are the additional pieces on the sides of the popsicle handles?

  • Penelope

    That is to sip the juice out of as it melts into the handle-cup part 🙂

  • Looks like y’all were ready for a great Labor day party

  • I hope your Labor Day party was a success! I think I grew to love Hebrew National a little more this summer.
