Prepare for the 4th of July

Our little city is doing its fireworks tonight. Whether you're scrambling for something to wear last minute, or you are looking for ideas for this Wednesday, there are so many fun options floating around! I think I may like that last look the best. Simple white dress, and lots of red and white accessories.
 

Sweet Sugar Belle has a great diy tutorial for making your own candy buttons! I would want to make these in some bright funky colors (neon pink and blue anyone?!?!?) but, for the holiday and all.... 

this would work perfectly. All you need is freezer paper and icing! 

There is even a link to a recipe for quick icing, and directions on making the cute packaging. 

Cake pops for the 4th of July

Get started on your baking for this weekend and Wednesday a little bit early!
Cake balls are still popular, and since they're bite sized, they're perfect for your 4th of July activities.

Bring em to a bbq, carry a container to munch on during the fireworks, or put them on sticks for real "pops"!

I can't bake. Yeah, I just can't do it. I'm terrible at it. If it involves flour, theres a 95% chance I WILL mess it up. This may mean there is a shortage of treats in our house. That's probably good, right? The less in the house, the less you eat, and the fatter you don't get? hahahah. Well, since I can't bake, I won't be making these. I will gladly accept gifts though. They look delicious. ;-)

The only way to get used to posing for the camera is to practice right?

One of these days I'll get over my camera fright.

Until then, you can have some awkward photos of me.

What do you do to feel more comfortable in front of the camera lens?

DIY your way through Denim

Quick! Before it gets too hot out to wear long denim!
