Hey there princess!
My family and I loved celebrating the 4th of July this past weekend. It was the perfect escape from all of the stresses of life - with work, and the world around us seeming so tumultuous - it was a real treat to sit back, stuff my face, and enjoy the fireworks.
My little sister, Coco, started us off on a healthy note. She made these amazing strawberry, blueberry, and marshmallow kabobs set on this festive American flag platter. They were incredibly cute, and admittedly the only nutritious thing I ate that weekend. Big thanks to Coco for getting us to eat some fruit!
Next, my mom got the most amazing macaroons ever from a local place in Tomball called Indulge Bakery (click here for the website). My favorite flavors are Bomb Pop and Pop Rock! Look at how perfectly patriotic the colors are!
Coco set the table with some very festive flowers as well. I love all of the sweet little touches that come together to make a family meal special and memorable. Flowers are always so happy (especially these glitter-covered roses)!
Not ones to leave out the main dish - we got some amazing turkey and brisket from Bexar Barbecue in Tomball. Seriously - this meat was to die for. I have had the brisket before, but this was my first time with the turkey and I have to say I am in love. Forget the traditional 4th of July hot dogs - I say just go straight to the good stuff. Life is too short.
After lunch, we had tons of fun swimming in my parents' pool, and enjoying some fireworks. I am so incredibly thankful to be an American, and to live in the same city as my parents so that I can raid their refrigerator.

I hope that y'all had a fun and safe 4th of July and I can't wait for the next adventure life throws at me! Let me know how y'all celebrated your Independence Day!
