Well, hello there! Who is ready for this weekend already? My hand went up first, I just know it. Ha!

July 4th is always one of the funnest, most festive holiday’s of the year here in the States, and with all the horrible headlines our country has been seeing lately … I think it’s one we’re all needing, a weekend to come together and just love and celebrate where we come from! We all have so much to be thankful for because this is the country that we call home.

So, what do you have planned for the weekend? On Friday, my roommate, Kristan, and good friend, Gina, are heading up to Charleston! I’m so excited. I’ve only been to Charleston once and it was, literally, for 24 hours. It will be so fun to explore and soak up some sun! Let me know in the comments below if you have any suggestions!

I can tell you that if I was staying in town, I would be baking another American Flag Cake to bring over to my Dad and Stepmom’s house to enjoy poolside with them! If you’re looking for something to bring to whatever celebration you’re off to, I highly recommend this cake! It’s super easy but, just a head’s up … you will need to start it on Friday night. I promise – I am no chef and the recipe is super easy and it turned out DELICIOUS. I’ll leave the recipe at the end of the post for you!

While I’m not in the kitchen often, and certainly far from being consider a master chef, I do like to make sure I have everything necessary to host a few friends for wine, appetizers or dessert around my kitchen! These measuring cups, shaped as whales, from Modcloth make cooking just a little more fun! The measurement is on the bottom making them super easy to use. And, these serving plates are cheeky and cute serving dishes! Here are a few other items I have my eye on … I just wish I had more space, ha!

Like I said earlier, if you’re looking to bring something to your 4th of July celebration, definitely consider this recipe! Don’t let the total time deter you! It’s super simple! Three of those hours is just the fact that the cake has to sit in the refrigerator for that long before you can add the frosting to it because the Jell-O has to gel. I’ll leave some other recipe options below this one:

Thanks for stopping by today, y’all! Happy planning and enjoy the rest of your weekend! xo.

    My in-laws live in Charleston and so when we visit I always eat at five loaves. http://www.fiveloavescafe.com
    It is so good and affordable. I’ve also always had great service there. Have fun!

    You girls are going to have so much fun in Charleston, it’s one of my favorite cities to visit. Last time I was there I had brunch at Poogans Porch and it was amazing. The Rooftop at Vendue is a great place to grab a drink and has beautiful views of the city. There are so many great places, you really can’t go wrong. Enjoy and Happy 4th!!

    OMG. how long are you going to be in Charleston? I could write you a book. Living in Wilmington, Charleston is just a few short hours away. Rooftop bars: Market Street Pavillion, and Stars Restuarant. Rarebit has fun cocktails. Cannon Green is the cutest little new restaurant. It is BEAUTIFUL. The Gin Joint has fun cocktails. The Ordinary has the best oyster sliders I have ever had. Minero has awesome tacos, its a casual Mexican eatery on Bay street. If you head over to Mount Pleasant, Red Drum has amazing Sunday (and maybe Saturday) brunch. I could keep going, but I’d be here for days. Enjoy 🙂
