4th Festivities

What a weekend! I love the extra day... although, this weekend was so crazy busy, I don't think I was able to appreciate it enough. But we did have a fabulous 4th of July! I love throwing a party... any occasion is worth the hustle & bustle.

Here are a few wrap up pics from our festivities & eats:

Cookies & Cream Cupcakes

(Recipe to follow...)

Chocolate & Sprinkle Covered Pretzels

Very Berry Festive Salad

(Inspired by Martha Stewart)

Raspberries

Blueberries

Blackberries

Strawberries

Mint

Simple Syrup (Sugar water mix)

I only used about 1T total because the berries were perfectly ripe & delish!
