Is it July yet?

The 4th of July has always been one of my favorite holidays. Mainly because it's a huge deal in my hometown. And in the last few years, it's the only guaranteed holiday we get to spend with my side of the family. So I'm looking for a few new (simple) ways to make our celebration even more spectacular this year. Of course, Martha was my first stop. I think H and I will try both of these projects in the next couple days.



Drink Parasols

So what are you doing to make your holiday extra-special this year?
