Celebrating the 4th of July

Follow us on Instagram @jlgarvin for all things holiday, festive & fun!!

Happy fourth of July week!!!! We had a super fun weekend celebrating our sweetest Claire bear, she turned TWO on Saturday (more about her birthday coming to the blog very soon!) and we loved celebrating her. We let Harper & Eloise plan out the day for her and it was perfect, birthday pancakes, water slides & her very own stuffed Johnny gorilla from her favorite movie, Sing. Claire is obsessed with him!! My parents were in Iowa taking care of my grandma’s house so we postponed her birthday party until next weekend, we can’t wait!!

Yesterday afternoon, we had a few friends in our neighborhood over for some fourth of July (or I guess, second of July) festivities & I wanted to share the two super quick & easy things we made. The first is a fruit & cheese tray, I used a tiny star cookie cutter but these would also be super easy to freehand with a paring knife if you pre-cut your cheese into squares! This is a great light appetizer to throw together for everybody to enjoy, especially if you’re going to be outside or heading somewhere to watch fireworks! Later we made rosé floats, choose your favorite bottle of rosé and pour over two scoops of raspberry sorbet! Seriously delicious!! And of course, what is a festive summer celebration without sprinklers & water balloons?!

We are headed to our local fireworks celebration tonight & hope to catch them again in our backyard tomorrow night! Hope you guys all have the HAPPIEST Fourth! God Bless America, land of the free because of the brave. XO

It’s too easy: make a white cake (from a box), poke holes in it with a toothpick, make jello according to directions in a saucepan and pour over top, and then put in the fridge for 3-5 hours to cool and set! Frost with whipped cream and serve chilled!!

Impulsively painted this little powder/laundry roo Impulsively painted this little powder/laundry room green and I’m obsessed. Sacrificed just one sweatshirt and my favorite pair of socks because I was way too lazy to change into painting clothes but overall: worth it. Also don’t look too close, 100 year old plaster walls are the opposite of smooth. On the hunt for some fun art next!! Swipe for before and afters 🖤
