Weekend Recap

Better late then never right? Because I know you haven't been able to sleep without knowing what we did for the 4th, or reading the hilarious banter I call my blog. 
Only kidding of course...
Isn' t this how everyone wears their hats? 
We had a really productive weekend. Did I jet say that? But seriously we did. Steve and I sat down and organized our life while the peanut slept and Mr. Selfridge was on in the background. Friday we all had colds so Steve stayed home lounged, and we made that awesome stop motion video. By the way of anyone has any ides for more stop motion videos you would like me to attempt, please leave them in the comments. I'd love to do more! 
Loves to walk the dog, then they stop for kisses 
Then saturday we had some hight hopes for the 4th, little lady did not make it too fireworks, sad day. She doesn't know what she missed though so next year its happening! We went over to our friends house and barbecued, while we watched peanut interact with the baby. Our sweet friends had a little girl and few months ago and by golly our daughter was smitten. She did however try to hang out in the infant bouncer and be the baby, but you choose your battles right? My guess is when the time come for her to be a big sister (no I'm not announcing anything) she'll do great, but may have an issue or two in the sharing department. 

Then sunday we headed to the farmers market and had lunch. While the peanut slept we organized our life. What I mean by that is we made set days for laundry, who does the dishwasher, meal planning and so on. It's only been a few days of the new system and I think it's going great. I'll update you at the end of the month and show you the super cute planner I bought for the occasion. 
Then yesterday Steve got to fly a plane! I got him this awesome thrill ride from SkyThrills for fathers day and he went yesterday. So cool! If you're in the LA / orange county area you have to check them out, what an amazing experience! 

XOXO

Simple 4th of July Dessert



Happy July 3rd everyone! 

We are super exited for all the festivities tomorrow. We are heading over to a friends house after nap having an early dinner and keeping our fingers crossed we make it to fireworks! 
I wanted to bring over something special, so with the help of this pintrest inspiration, I got to work. 

I used boxed ingredients for the cake mix and thanks to pintrest again adjusted a few things to make the cupcakes taste more homemade. I used butter instead of oil and doubled it, milk instead of water and added one more egg then what the box called for. Normally I would whip up some frosting myself but decided on a mom friendly version this time. 
Then arranged all the cupcakes in the shape of old glory and added fruit. Voila! A simple and delicious dessert that will leave your guest or hosts plenty impressed.
I will admit for product tasting purposes we did nibble on one or three today, and boy oh boy were they yummy! 
Have a happy and safe 4th everyone! 
XOXO

4th of July is one of my favorite holidays, it was and is a big deal in my hometown. There are a ton of fireworks, yummy food and parties that last all day long. The best part was the fireworks were literally right in front of my house. So needless to say it holds a special place in my heart. 
This year we will be home for it so i'm determined to make it as fun as possible. One of those ways to do that, dress for the occasion!
