Fourth of July Treats

Happy Fourth of July!! I hope you're reading this while being off from work and enjoying the sunshine outside today!

We planned a spontaneous (breaking out of my comfort zone!) trip to one of my favorite areas of Pennsylvania- Lancaster. We left at 5am on Wednesday to beat all the traffic, which worked out really well. After arriving and switching hotels last minute, we are ready to get our party on for Independence Day! Apparently I am loving the exclamation points this morning haha ;)

Since I'll be out and about today enjoying the holiday, I've rounded up some of my favorite July 4th. recipes!

Love this twist on a classic dessert by Plain Vanilla Mom. Combine everyone's favorite dessert into an ice cream smore. Brilliant.

My Birthday

23 is off to a fabulous start!  I can't believe I am only two years away from turning 25. Time really does fly by.

So far my birthday morning has been great.

But, backing up to yesterday, I spent the majority of the day lounging around in my pajamas. Fabuuuuulous. After being away for a week, it was nice to sleep in my own bed. Around 1:30 I finally headed got my butt off the couch to the gym. Since I only had 45 minutes, I decided for a shoulder & hamstring workout. I was not in the mood at all, but it left me feeling energized. The rest of the day was spent getting some food in the fridge and unpacking.

Of course I had to pick up some birthday goodies at the food store.
