On Our Radar.
Happy long weekend! The Fourth of July has always been one of my favorite holidays! Growing up, my entire family celebrated with a canoe trip and a weekend of parties, picnics and sparklers. This weekend, I’m so excited to be heading home to Pennsylvania to spend some time relaxing by the lake, watch fireworks and catch up with my family and friends there. I love that it’s one of those incredibly low-stress holidays because everyone’s just looking to have a blast — who isn’t down for an afternoon of margaritas, delicious snacks and fun company?! To kick off your long weekend, we rounded up some of our favorite reads from the week. And let us know, what are you plans for the Fourth?
