Happy 4th of July!

Sparkler
Sparklers, anyone?

Happy Fourth everyone! Today is my day off, so hopefully I'm still asleep when this posts, enjoying the holiday. I'm ready to spend the day eating pie, wearing red, white, & blue, and watching fireworks. Every week at the summer camp I work at we have a new theme, and this weeks is "USA." We've been doing fun crafts like making Uncle Sam masks and finger painting flags. It's all been very fun, & it's gotten me in a good mood for the Fourth. Whether you are celebrating the holiday or you live in another country, I hope you have a absolutely lovely day! What are your plans? Be sure to come back tomorrow for a very patriotic Photo Friday! 

p.s. This is the first GIF I've ever made, and I'm super proud. I don't mean to brag, but yes I do.

On My Nails: OPI I Love You Cherry Much



I bought this color in December time thinking it would be fun to wear for Christmas (and oh, it was), but it's been great for other occasions too. In April I got to go see a Taylor Swift concert and this was perfect for my nails... and for painting a 13 on my hand. Now that it's time for 4th of July, and seeing how I'm terrible at any sort of nail art, I think this is the perfect fit. I Love You Cherry Much is a gorgeous red, with a bit of sparkle and sheen that's fun without being too over the top.

OPI has the cutest names, hands down. I really need to invest in more, because I'm in love with the brushes, and this needed just 2 coats. I also love pairing it with Kook-A-Mango underneath to make it a bit brighter.

I always forget how difficult being a one-woman-show can be until I take pictures like the one above. I was balancing my camera on my knee, with self timer, but I got it. Thank goodness. I think it's also time I invest in a tripod.


I'm very excited for 4th of July this year... and as I'm writing this I don't even have plans. Besides making this pie again. I should probably figure that out.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game


This past weekend Amanda & her family were kind enough to take me with them to Atlanta to see the Braves play! Although it was pretty dang hot and sweaty out, the game was really awesome. There's just something fun about going to watch a baseball game every now and then. I have great memories of going to see the Braves with my family and my old youth group, so it's always fun when I get to go back. I took some pictures while we were there and I think they are quite fitting for this week as we're getting ready to celebrate the Fourth of July. Oh, and the Braves won! Duh. Enjoy!



The Yankees & The Braves are the baseball two teams I root for, what about you?
