OOTD and 4th of July

 
Nordstrom Fire Stripe dress & Belt
So comfortable and versatile!
This dress looks great over leggings and layered for winter.

For the 4th this year our family all got together to have red, white, and blue cocktails, bbq and swim all day. It was so much fun and so relaxing!

We totally busted out the slip and slide and had to show the kids how it's done.
 

I also baked FROM SCRATCH for the first time these Lemon Crinkle Cookies. They were so easy and delicious! They taste just like a lemon bar- which is one of my favorite desserts. We probably should have baked two batches because they were gone so fast (one batch makes 2-3 dozen). I've been trying to cook bake more and at this rate, I'll be making full meals in no time!

Love that dress! And those cocktails look delish! I would totally show the kids how it's done on the slip n' slide. I always end up breaking them though... guess I'm a little rough with them ;)
