Happy Friday and happy July 4th eve! Today is mostly red, white, and blue with a touch of flamingo pink just to keep it random enough for a Currently Confessing blog post. My mind is all over the place right now, and I hope to share why soon. I know. Nobody likes a vague sharer. But I promise I have nothing to announce regarding another child; other things are going on that I can’t really say just yet, because quite honestly, I don’t even know what’s going on just yet. Anyway, let’s move on to the fun stuff.
ONE.
In case you need a yummy recipe for a party, this is my favorite red, white, and blue dessert. You can find the recipe HERE from this past blog post.
If you’re on a diet like me (who am I really kidding) but you still want to be festive, you can eat berries that look like this and drink an iced coffee with coconut milk. You can find that Starbucks hack HERE.
TWO.
Don’t forget to share your fun Americana pictures of your kiddos at the Star Spangled Kids linkup here on the blog or by using the hashtag #StarSpangledKids on Instagram. The linkup will be open until July 7th. I can’t wait to see who shows up for the virtual parade! You can linkup and find out all the details HERE.
THREE.
These aren’t red, but they’re still fun and festive, and sandals equal summer, and summer equals Fourth of July. So there you go.
FOUR.
Are you planning on lighting up some sparklers or having guests this holiday? How cute would this sparklers holder be? My friend Jenny from Jenny Collier Blog always has the BEST printables, and these are perfect. All you have to do is sign up for her email list, and this printable will be sent straight to your inbox. I already printed a couple out. You can sign up for her email list HERE.
FIVE.
If I had the molds for popsicles, I would definitely be making these puppies. Festive, huh? You can find the recipe HERE.
And that’s all I’ve got today, folks! I hope you have the most amazing, wonderful holiday celebrating the land that we love. Have a beautiful and blessed weekend, and I’ll talk to you soon.
Let’s keep in touch, shall we?

Kristy says
Oh, yeah, girl. You could even change the fruit topping for the season. Maybe even throw in some pumpkin spice for the fall? Oh, yeah. I’ll be doing some experimenting soon. Happy weekend, Elda!
