Ideas for the Fourth of July

Hello blog friends.  

I hope that you are enjoying the start to summer and just enjoying spending time outside.

I have just returned from a two week trip to Asia.  We traveled a long distance to Singapore, Vietnam, and Hong Kong.  I am just starting to feel normal and over that jet lag.  It was such a wonderful family vacation.  I'd love for you to follow along with me on Instagram @brklynhousewife to see some of the amazing photos of our trip. 

Here are a few ideas I'd love to share for celebrating 
the Fourth of July.

If you like crocheting, how about crocheting a dishcloth.

This is a fun and easy crochet project.

You can visit HERE for the details to make one yourself.

I always have fun and enjoy crocheting Americana themed coasters.

This is another fun patriotic project to make.  To see the details, you can visit HERE.

It's always fun to make a patriotic looking drink.  Just visit HERE to make this 4th of July drink.

One of our favorite desserts is brownies.  It's always fun eating brownies at a BBQ or get together.

SLUTTY BROWNIES

SLUTTY BROWNIES

INGREDIENTS:

1 Box of Betty Crocker Supreme Original Brownie Mix

1 Large Tube of Pillsbury Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix

1 Box of Oreo Cookies

DIRECTIONS:

Grease bottom of 9 x 11 casserole dish.  First layer with cookie dough evenly.  Top with whole oreo cookies.  Mix brownie mix according to box directions and pour over oreos and cookie dough.  Bake according to box directions on brownie mix.  Time may vary and just be sure to check with a toothpick if brownies are cooked enough.  They can be somewhat gooey.  Best served warm.

Whatever you do, I hope you add a little creativity to your life.

Enjoy the rest of the week and weekend.  Wishing all the Dad's a Happy Father's Day.
