Hump Day - Independence Edition

I crush on the Founding Fathers. Hard.

Huzzah!!! A hump day that requires no humping at all! Happy Wednes-riday to all of my fellow Americans! May your next few days be filled with sunshine, barbecue, fireworks and friends. See ya Monday!

* 3 super easy and adorably patriotic desserts you can whip up in time for tomorrow HERE, HERE & HERE.

* Did you know that NYC is loaded with Revolutionary War era history?

* Adorable summer printables to make your table look picnic perfect!

* Ahoy matey!!

* Outside of Maine, where to get your lobster rolls.

* Nothing more American than a slice of warm apple pie (even if I'm more of a blueberry girl myself!)

* A "holy crap that's brilliant" ice cream sandwich making solution.

* Blurred Lines look out, Robin Thicke is adding to the soundtrack of summer!

* Nap time is always the best time. For giraffes and all other adorable animals. (giraffe via CupofJo)

* Beach babes beware!

Happy Birthday US of A!

Make your day sparkle.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." (Taken from the full text of the Declaration of Independence.)

May your day be filled with the pursuit and enjoyment of Happiness (also hot dogs, cold beer and fireworks). xoxo, m
