I can’t believe the 4th is only a few days away!! Since it is coming up, I wanted to share some 4th of July ideas along with our Friday Favorites.
Also, today is my MOM’s Birthday!! Happy Birthday Mom!!
This patriotic popcorn is so easy to make and so delicious! My husband and I ate the whole batch this week, so I will have to make more for the 4th!
A few years ago I shared this post for last minute 4th of July ideas that still has some great things you can do.
If you follow Chemistry Cachet on instagram or snapchat, you know we have a tradition every year taking a photo in the same spot with Ruger. We started doing it when he was still small enough for me to hold him….now at 90 lbs we both have to hold him. It is hilarious, and I can’t wait to do it again this year!
Other recipes I love for the 4th are this blueberry cream float and these patriotic mini cakes!
I had my class Monday night for some local ladies, Chemistry Secrets to Healthy Eating. It was a blast! They had so many great questions too. I will be sharing a full post next week because I think everyone can benefit from some of their questions and the topics we talked about. We had some fun giveaways at the end too! Everyone got some fun goodies to go home with 🙂
We also talked a little about this post from Monday on Stevia! Everyone was so surprised to learn some of these facts.
Other Posts from this Week:
DIY hummingbird food! This is perfect for summer and we have some great tips for keeping your feeder clean too.
I couldn’t resist this cute flamingo cup when I was at the store last week. Perfect for summer coffee 🙂
The crepe myrtles are always the last plants to bloom in the summer, but they are so beautiful! I have a big one in the front yard and a big one in the backyard. They are so pretty!
I hope everyone has a great 4th of July!!

Congratulations on your class!! I always find your blog educational and learn something. I can not believe Ruger is 90 pounds. He acts like a puppy! Hope it has been a great weekend.
Alexis says
Thanks Sheryl! I appreciate that 🙂 I shared the recap on the class on today’s post 🙂 I know, Ruger is such a big puppy lol
