Stars & Stripes
I don't know about you but my holiday weekend starts today! I love the 4th of July. I adore being outside, barbecuing, and spending time with friends and family. But let's also not forget the real reason why we celebrate this weekend...for our freedom and to honor those who fought for and are still fighting for it every day!
Theme-wise, it's all about the red, white and blue. I put together a fun mood board for all things 4th. Check it out.
Clockwise from top left: red & blue baking cups via Bake it Pretty; my peanut butter & jelly bars; Essie Coat Azure and Bungle Jungle; royal blue ring (that I'm obsessed with) via rawadesign on Etsy; Mega Missle Red White & Blue ice pop; stars & stripes placemat via Williams-Sonoma; red jersey dress via American Apparel
What are your favorite traditions or celebrations on Independence Day?

We usually camp - but this year we've all been so busy with work and school that we didn't schedule a campground in time (I'm secretly relieved, I'm not a big "outdoors" kind of girl, unless there is a beach involved) - but we'll still all hang out and set off some fireworks (read: my little brother will set off fireworks and the rest of us will watch and try to keep him from blowing up a car or setting himself on fire)!
Definitely excited to be outside for most of the weekend! Kind of bummed that we have a wedding to go to, but the rest should be in the sun:-)
Excited for some serious sunshine, BBQ and painting my nails BLUE!
pb&j bars..... please enter my life asap.
I love the 4th too! I don't have any specific traditions, but I definitely always make some kind of food that has red, white, and blue in it!
Lots of family, friends, and food!
