Today I spend all day without power, its crazy to realize how dependent we are from it, at least that’s what I realize today, our house’s water heater, stove and pretty much everything is electric – great!

So finally I got to work and blog! =)  I am very excited because this will be my first 4th of July in California, sadly I will not be with my husband, because he’s fighting fire close to Vegas, but I am still looking forward to the festivities, hoping all fire fighters out there are safe and hopefully they will put all those fires out soon, and come back home!

For this weeks tutorial love friday Im sharing my favorite recipes and 4th of July crafts, so enjoy!
