Let’s indulge in a little #FBF shall we?  This time last week, I was lakeside in North Carolina with a few of my best friends. It was the second year in a row that we spent the Fourth of July at Lake Norman and I have a feeling it’s going to be an ongoing tradition from here on out.

Our days were filled with paddle boarding, cornhole and my first time ever playing  Cards Against Humanity (I’ve never laughed so hard in my life!).  We sipped on sweet sparkling cocktails on the deck all afternoon.  We played dress up and snapped a few patriotic portraits (my friends are such good sports).  I brought along my favorite new maxi, but truth be told I spent most of my time in a swimsuit and running around barefoot.

Probably my favorite part of the whole weekend?  Watching a few DIY backyard fireworks and lighting up some sparklers of our own.  Hands down one of my favorite weekends of the year!
