Happy fourth everybody! On this day, we celebrate the birth of our great nation. A reminder that we should be thankful every day that we are a free country, for many aren’t as lucky as we.
While Memorial Day marks the beginning of Summer for some and the solstice on June 21st making it official. Nothing says Summer more than this fun holiday spent out doors full of festivities and food with our family and friends.
It’s no wonder why I love Summer so much because growing up I was blessed with a big family and a great yard with an amazing pool. My parents made sure we had the best 4th every year right there at home with a picnic, badminton and loads of fireworks. To this day, I LOVE fireworks!
While I love spend all day working in the garden and swimming with friends, in reality I’ve spent a few hot afternoons pinning my heart out. It all started with this SUMMER BUCKET LIST of fun events, places and crafts I dream of actually getting done this Summer. Check it out and even start your own. It will be like a game checking them off the list, Wish me luck!
PS-The thing I look forward to most this Summer is this Legends of Summer Tour. That’s all American!
Pinning is an obsession that comes in waves for me, eventually I will figure out how to use it to my best advantage and not as a time sucker. One of my favorite boards lately is this adorable CUTE FOOD FOR KIDS. (I’m ashamed to say I found it through a facebook add, but hey at least now I know facebook ads kinda work.) I’m sure not even the worlds greatest parents have the time to make adorable food art for their kiddos but it’s the thought that counts, right?
What I’m getting at it this INDEPENDENCE DAY board I made, I know it’s lame but it was fun and really got me into the spirit of things. Even inspiring me to write this post and considering how long it’s been since my last, it must be a good thing. It may be slightly heavy on the sweets but there’s also fun face painting and comfy attire. Shout-out to one of my favorite bloggers I’ve been following for a while SPRINKLE BAKES and these gorgeous Panna Cotta Shooters.
All this red white and blue galore got me thinking about beautiful and inspiring things in my life and in nature right in front of my face. A few iphone picks from this week to share. Borage flower from my garden in macro. Store bought watermelon for now, a sweet Summer staple.
Stars and stripes forever!
