With a little over a week left until one of my favorite days of the year (yes, we’re obviously talking about the 4th of July again), I’m starting to get the itch! The itch to blow off work, sit by the water, make lots of festive desserts and crafts, watch fireworks and generally soak up summer in full force.

While I’m not typically one who is into themes when it comes to entertaining, I will gladly take all the red, white, and blue you can throw at me come this time of year.
