Tailgating with Style: Bring the Right Stuff

A few weeks ago I did the first post in my tailgating/football watching series. That post was all about setting the right mood for an awesome tailgating experience, but now we move onto our next subject matter...bringing the right stuff. As I said in my last post, with football (mainly fantasy football) taking over my home, my husband, and lots of conversation, I have to incorporate things into football season that make me delusionally happy... like good food & drinks, friends, & yes... even cute tailgating accessories.

  1. I WISH our tailgates included all of the above! Instead, my hubby and friends insist on manly goodness, ie: sausage, tortillas, beer and cheese balls. I occasionally slip in some homeade cookies or stuffed jalapenos ... this is how it goes in Lubbock!! ;)

  2. Hello there! I could have sworn I've been to this site before but after reading through some of the post I realized it's new to me.
    Nonetheless, I'm definitely delighted I found it and I'll be book-marking and checking back frequently!
