This year, I'm taking the 4th of July easy. A trip to a local parade, early morning doughnuts, and a low key BBQ in the afternoon. With only a little break in the middle of the week rather than a long weekend, I'm going to savor the day by partaking in every leisurely activity I can think of. I've shared a few of my favorite sparkling 4th of July inspired posts in case some of you need a bit of holiday inspiration to get the day going.

Top it all off with a refreshing raspberry lemon tart sure to be a highlight at any party
What is everyone else planning on doing to celebrate? Hope you all have a fun and save holiday!
We are also having a low-key day. BBQ in the afternoon, kids swimming and maybe a few sparklers in the evening. My husband is on-call for work, so we need to keep it close to home and not crazy. Although, we would have done this anyway!
ReplyDeleteP.S.- I am going to try that corn salad. Yum!
