The Colors Of Freedom

~ Alfresco, Independence Day, July 4, Memorial Day, Tablescapes

Happy Tuesday, sweet friends! I hope you all enjoyed a lovely Mother’s Day. It is always special in our family, but even more so this year. It was our precious EM’s eighth birthday and she requested smash burgers! The celebration was fun, the burgers and fixings were delicious, and the birthday cake made by our daughter-in-love was adorable with Barbie on top! Allison’s cakes always receive rave reviews!

“For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.”

In Honor of the Red, White, and Blue

Some of my favorite tablescapes are those of the red, white, and blue! Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer. June 14th is Flag Day, and of course, July 4th is Independence Day. These holidays are recognized by the waving of the red, white, and blue. I rounded up the colors of our flag to inspire as you make plans to celebrate these upcoming holidays!READ MORE
