Red, White, and Blue

Happy July 4th to all of our American readers.  May your day be filled with sun, family, friends, and great food.  If you are a newer mom like myself, may you be blessed with a wee one that sleeps through the fireworks.  Here are some red, white, and beauties from our Pinterest boards to liven up your festivities.

	Loving these cupcake toppers from BeautifulPaperCrafts on Etsy
	This cake is impressive.  If you can do this, you are made of magic.
	Vintage photo booth props from LittleRetreats on Etsy
	These are called candy sparklers.  (Do not invite your dentist over for the 4th.)
	This outfit is patriotic AND tasteful.  Love the bag!
	Take your grilled corn to a whole new level.  P.S. Please invite me over if you are going to make this!

What are your plans for the 4th?  Are there special traditions in your family?
