Happy 4th of July!

I hope everyone has had a fantastic weekend with family and friends – I know that I did!

On Friday it was torrentially down-pouring here, which put a little damper on our 4th of July plans. Instead of having our usual cookout celebration, my mom, stepdad and I headed out to run some errands. They were on a hunt for a new dishwasher and I had a few things that I wanted to pick up for my apartment.

I have been in rare form when it comes to shopping. I almost never shop for clothes but for some reason lately, I can’t stop! I ended up buying two dresses and a cute crop top from Express instead of anything that I actually needed.

After we finished up, we headed over to Tutti Fruity for some delicious frozen yogurt! My mom has been on a fro-yo kick lately.

As you can see, I would never skimp on my fro-yo toppings 🙂

On Saturday, we had our (postponed) 4th of July Cookout with the whole family. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time. I made a festive and healthy dessert pizza (recipe courtesy of http://www.simplytaralynn.com). It came out great and was a huge hit.

Instead of indulging in sugary drinks or alcoholic beverages, Conor and I drank red, white, and blue sparkling water for the day. It’s low calorie, refreshing, and delicious! Definitely one of our new favorites. 🙂

Enjoy this beautiful Sunday!
