Growing up, I always looked forward to the 4th of July because of the big party my parents would host.

Bake a new dessert, decorate with a new piece of decor or create a new summer drink. The possibilities are endless.
Saturday Chitchat with Janine – Volume 73
Happy Saturday,
Let’s get ahead of schedule and plan for the 4th of July. Now I know this holiday can be busier for some than others, but there’s no harm in taking the time to check out these 4th of July ideas.
Without a doubt, I know you will be able to find something new to bake, craft, or decorate this summer.
Since we are home from traveling for a while, I am also going to research the best possible ideas for the 4th to gain new inspiration for my home.
I say you do the same! Let’s make our house into a home one project at a time and create the best home on the block for the upcoming holiday!
Personal Note from Janine
This week I shared a delicious fruit tart recipe on the blog. It’s the perfect dessert for summer with an abundance of fruit. The top of this tart is layered with a bounty of fresh berries. And speaking of fruit, I need to make my weekly trips to the peach farm near our home.
Last summer my daughter and I were obsessed with picking scrumptious tree-ripened peaches out on the farm. There is nothing quite as yummy as a juicy peach picked right off the tree. All summer, I slice them up and served them with some plain greek yogurt for breakfast.
But, this year, I hope to make the fruit tart with some sliced peaches that I pick this summer.
If you have a farm near you, adventure out and buy some fresh produce. I’m sure you’ll notice the difference in the quality of the fruit.
And oh yeah, Happy Summer to you and your family!
Cheers,

Quick 4th of July Tips
If you’re strapped for time but want to decorate your front porch, here are a few quick tips.
- Wreath – A red, white, and blue wreath quickly adds color to any door and is perfect for the Fourth of July
- Garland – Make or buy a garland and hang it above the door.
- Rug – Either decorate in front of your door with a welcome mat or rug. I used my red tartan rug that is perfect for the Fourth.
- Pillows and Throws – We have a few chairs on our porch and I added some blue and white gingham throw. It add such a fun and festive look to our porch.
Latest Obsession – Cute Clothes!
I stumbled on this brand of women’s clothes the other day and I love these blouses. I like how each piece is classic with a little unique flair that sets them apart.
Whenever I have a free moment, I’m perusing their clothing. I even signed up for the 10% discount. The prices are a bit expensive, but usually only have a few fancy pieces in a wardrobe for special occasions. I’m not a fashionista but I do love classic clothing that will last a while.
Here are the links to the gingham top and the navy blue blouse.
