happy fourth of july!
this year’s celebration is a little different! alegra and i are on the way to the southern turkey where she will attend a sailing camp for 10days. it feels very summery and july-like to be off to sail and i am so proud of her for taking a chance and trying something new!
alara knew we would be leaving first thing today and so she very, very sweetly baked us fourth of july cupcakes for the road! she decorated them in red and blue with white sprinkles in honor of the holiday and i have to say i am pretty impressed 🙂
alara tells me the recipe was super simple and foolproof- we added a bit less maple syrup than usual and she was so smart to add a whole bunch of cinnamon and ginger because she knows i love a little spice!
I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday whether you are celebrating or not- send us pictures if you have fireworks and tag us if you try the cupcakes too!
