Happy Monday + Fourth of July! I decided to do a fun edition of my Monday Link-Up series and feature a variety of drinks + recipes that are all Independence Day-themed, to get you into an absolutely patriotic mood. Nothing says 'Merica, than celebrating each holiday with drinks centered around them. I am SO in the mood to try this White Sangria, made by Festivities Catering!
  • I am all about sweet when it comes to alcohol, so this Fireworks Pina Colada from Home Sweet Jones looks like it would hit just the spot! 
  • Shots, shots, shots! Spiked Jell-o Shots, easy and simple to make, plus absolutely adorable.
  • They say that if you make this drink for guests, you'll have to make several pitchers because it is that good! Sign me up, Blueberry Strawberry Mojito by Well Plated
  • A Frozen Boozy Bomp Pop? 3 different types of vodka, lime juice, sugar and water. WOW!
  • I found this drink through Pinterest, and thought it was so adorable! The hint of coconut on the rim of the glass just ties everything in together. It's called a Blueberry Coconut Sparkler, and you'll for sure be sparkling if you have more than one of them.
  • This drink from Tasty Trials mixes watermelon and blueberry vodka in a delicious combination! The Watermelon-Blueberry Cooler is super simple, but very refreshing.
  • For those of you who do not drink, or just don't want to have every drink contain alcohol, this Patriotic Punch is just the ticket. Blogger, Between Naps on the Porch, came up with this tasty drink that features cranberry juice, a blue sports drink and 7-Up! 
  • For something extra kid-friendly, this layered drink by The Sisters Cafe, will be fun to make with the kiddos while you're waiting for the food to be cooked.
  • I love the inspiration behind this Drink & Dish drink, they were motivated by their favorite fireworks they see every year, and the decorations included. Best part? The rim of the class is covered pop rocks, so you'll have an extra magical celebration.
What are your plans for the Fourth? Have any favorite themed drinks? Let me know, and be safe tonight!

July is upon us! That means tons of sun, celebrating with a good BBQ, listening to new music and kicking back with a good book. I am quite looking forward to all of these, especially if it means I can actually be a normal person while doing them. The past month or so has been pretty difficult in regards to feeling like a functioning human being, but I truly hope that can change while the summer goes on. Life has been an ongoing circle lately, which always happens to me at this time of year, and I'm just itching to get away. Here's hoping July will be good to me, and to everyone around me. Most all of these things above are inspiring me lately, and I can't complain on that front. What are you inspired with for this month?!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Oh, 'Merica. When I think of 4th of July, I think: sunny days, barbecuing, wearing sandals, watching fireworks, local parades, eating s'mores, etc. You also can't forget wearing a fabulous outfit that contains one of the three colors of the flag. I always tend to wear blue, since it's my favorite color, but it's fun to mix it up. Here, have an outfit I would absolutely love to wear this year!
Readers, I hope you have a lovely 4th of July! I will be hanging out with family, eating grilled hamburgers and chicken, watching my nephew enjoy everything, listening to some great music, drinking some great beer, and possibly watching fireworks! Let me know what you guys are up to!
 
Always,
