Artisan Popsicles

With these hot summer days coming fast and furious, I needed something to cool me down. Last year I bought some sailboat popsicle molds, so I was excited to make some cute, but adult flavored goodies this summer.

We decided on balsamic-strawberry-basil, peach with blueberries, and cucumber mojito {which I think we took a little seriously and didn’t freeze all the way through with all the booze we put in. oops.}

We made up the recipes a bit– fresh fruit, juice and herbs, and sugar, blended. A few whole pieces added to the mold when we poured the ingredients in. Then into the freezer!

I went for bright colors in my flavors. Can you tell?  Wouldn’t it be fun to make the red, white and blue for tomorrow’s festivities?

I could just lick the screen! How about you?

 

Ready for the 4th?

All you need for a fun filled holiday!

Wear this, to show your spirit and style:

Decorate with bandanna’s and adorable printables (click here to print them for your own party):

Eat this (and add my new favorite burger topping– BBQ sauce!)

And do this!

All the makings of a great day!  Hope your holiday is great! xoxo

4th of July Inspiration

Do you all have big party plans this weekend? I hope these ideas give you some ideas to make your event extra special!

I love this fun and easy way to decorate the table! Just add some blue polka dot ribbon to the bucket and you are all set.

And you can add these sparkler packets at each seat! (You can download the packets here.)

You can add a little holiday flavor to your drinks with these easy garnishes on bamboo sticks…

and by making cute star ice cubes!

And what is a 4th of July celebration without the food? I love the use of these cups and papers to hold fried goodness.

And this crostata is so festive!

Or maybe you are feeling extra ambitious! I love how these paper flowers look like fireworks.

I hope you have a great holiday weekend! xoxo
