FRIDAY FAVORITES....JULY 4th EDITION

This happens to be one of my Favorite Friday's of the whole year for many reasons which include a birthday dinner tonight for the Mr. below at a favorite restaurant. It kicks off the 4th holiday for us and we are looking forward to great memories made. My wish for yours is a fabulous weekend to create some amazing memories of your own!! Onto favorites...some really good ones this week.

1. This Birthday Boy
My Mr. Nine has a birthday today! This guy still makes my heart go pitter patter when he walks in a room. This hottie makes me laugh, makes me a better person and makes all my dreams come true. He's building me the house I've been dreaming of but I'd live in a shack without plumbing with this guy..so you know that's LOVE!!! 
Happy Birthday Babe!
His Favorite Cake Recipe HERE


Look at my babe on his Big Wheel....
His smile still lights up the world, especially mine!

And my mom makes him his favorite pie every year: Rhubarb!

2. Day Date
We had the best day date in Southern Michigan on a glorious 74 degree day! Rooftop eating, walk to the beach, town shops browsing and ending at our favorite brewery people watching, of course.
My favorite drink at The Stray Dog: Blue Wave

My Favorite food to get here: Southwest Chicken Egg Rolls and the Fish Tacos...best ever!!


Onto our favorite Brewery call Greenbush where I always get my little 6 oz.

Dress from Target HERE
(just wait til you see the tassel back)

3. Week's Attire
Lots of patriotic wear of course
The Loft top, Amazing necklace, Michael Kors pants


JC Penny top and cardigan


Target Top, Target cardi. The loft pants and necklace

4. 4th of July Vest
I saw this vest in Meijer and could not resist.
Stripes on the back and all.


More Inspo





5. Misc. Fun
Just look at these hard workers and Daisy supervising of course. They scooped out every last bit of rock and put down dark mulch. Worked their tails off two weekends in a row to amp up our curb appeal for sell time. This past Sunday I made them a new, hearty pasta dish and will share the recipe soon.

And look at what's going down, or should I say "up" at the new property:
This is part of the basement, I couldn't fit it all in and I was up on a high dirt mound!

Happy Canada Day to all my FRIENDS up North tomorrow!! This is a big one.....150 years!!!!! Have so much fun celebrating your beautiful country!!


You know I could not have a Friday Favorite 4th edition without a sweet treat to celebrate with. This colorful cheesecake is calling my name!
Recipe HERE

Let's get this party started!!!! Happy Flipping' Weekend!!!!
