{ source + how to = confetti sunshine

This weekend kicks off one of my favorite weeks of the year /// The weather is warm, summer is in full bloom, a wedding anniversary, and oh yes...that little thing called 4th of July /// So here is a little fourth of July link list ///

let freedom ring! {ring pop style} so cute!
no bake watermelon cake ... say what?   
4th of July red,white, & blue drinks t[his is cool i did it last year!! pour slow and get drinks with difference amounts of sugar}

note: last year we ditched out of the family festivities  a little early to go home and put Lyla to sleep.  Hubs, Elisabeth, Jude and I grabbed lawn chair and bowls of ice cream and sat in the driveway and watch he firework display from all the surrounding neighborhoods. It was a sweet little family memory. 

what are your plans for the 4th? 
what are some of your favorite recipes or traditions?

This is cute !! I'm so bummed I am not going to be in USA on 4th July, I am flying in on the 9th :( I was there 2 years ago for independence day and there was a big street party where I was which was awesome!

Your plans sound so fun! I don't have plans yet, but my friends and I are working on it. Last year I got stuck celebrating by myself, so I'm going to be sure not to let that happen again! :)

Hi, dropping by from Kerry's blog :) I'm excited for the holiday too, although I admit I won't be able to join my three year old and husband for fireworks festivities as I'll be home with my infant twins this year. Still, I'll celebrate in my own way by baking strawberry/blueberry shortcake with my kiddo for a little bit of red white and blue!
