"We didn't realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun"-
Who doesn’t love a good 4th of July celebration complete with old friends, new friends, & family?!
The perfect set up for one of the best weekends I have had in awhile. From strangers to friends, this was one for the books! Time & good friends are two things that become more valuable when you get older.
Thank you to my new friends (& porch & palette followers!), my old friends, & family... it was fun!

Fresh peach & mango mimosas
The Hagwoods were sweet enough to let me spend the weekend, again.
We started the weekend off with fresh peach & mango mimosas: so refreshing & so simple! The perfect way to upgrade a mimosa is to throw in whatever fresh fruits your heart desires. And of course, use your favorite, festive glasses!
Next on the "To-Do" list: Snack time!
While sipping our mimosas, my fabulous host threw together the perfect savory summer snack for the beach: Fresh Summer Veggie & Herb Flatbread
