Happy 4th of July!!


This is absolutely my favorite holiday - not just because I get a day off of work on a beautiful summer day - but because it's our day to celebrate this great country we live in!! Fireworks are always fun too! We've been busy decorating the house in patriotic colors to get ready for a small dinner party with family. And while I was cleaning the spider webs off of the patio furniture, my 6-year old son was more than happy to line up all the fireworks that we'll be lighting for this evenings festivities.

It's only the morning and I'm already looking forward to dinner. My husband is going to be cooking up a great recipe for baby back ribs, and I'm going to make a salad recipe that I found in the July edition of
Country Living magazine! There's great summer recipes in the back of this month's issue that I can't wait to try. I get inspired just by the pictures! I will write again to let you know how it all turned out.

Be sure to check back soon because we just received our shipment of wonderful home care and self care products, from yummy hand and body lotion to heavenly-smelling lavender laundry powder, all from a great company called Sweet Grass Farms...These are absolutely the best smelling products I've ever tried and best of all, the ingredients are all natural!

Well, I'll be off to enjoy the rest of my day off, and we wish everyone the safest of holidays!!
