    I don’t think I would ever have thought to put watermelon on a burger! But, after discovering how tasty homegrown tomatoes are, and their counterparts grainy and tasteless that just might be an interesting replacement!

    These all look wonderful – I love picnic foods. The kaboobs look fantastic, probably my favorite.
    Thanks for sharing.

    yay for the Peach Crisp recipe! I almost missed that watermelon slice in the burger. I have NEVER heard of that but sounds fun! The macaroni salad we would definitely try! Like the addition of the baby spinach (?) for some greens! Thanks for a great full menu for the end of summer holidays!

Hey there! I’m Tesa, the mom behind 2 Wired 2 Tired. The blog got its name because we have two kids born a year apart and my husband, Dave, and I always joked that "the kids were too wired and we were too tired!" :)

Fast forward a bit—now the kids are off to college (how did that happened so fast!) and since 2009, I’ve been blogging through the chaos, coffee in hand, finding the best in family, travel, and tech—because honestly, who has time for bad gadgets and boring trips?

So, whether you're searching for family travel inspiration, tech gadgets, or tips to enhance family life, you're in the right place because the fun (and the coffee) is always brewing around here!
