Happy 4th of July Parfaits!

We headed out to California for the week for Chris's friends wedding over the 4th of July.  We decided to bring Savanna with us and make a full week family vacation.  We are starting up north and visiting one of my friends who I sadly have not seen in 3 years in Carmel/Monteray! We are then going to drive south to San Diego and finish with the wedding in Carlsbad. I was REALLY nervous for the time change, but we arrived on Saturday evening and so far so good.  Savanna did not sleep a wink on the plane which made for a very long plane ride, although the only time she cried was when we tried to put her to sleep.  Do not ask us what we did for 5.5 hours :)  In the end I think this ended up helping because she did not go to sleep until 930 Cali time so it just forced her to be on Cali time and the adjustment has been easier than I thought.  We are really enjoying our time here and cannot wait to tell you about our adventures!

For today I wanted to share a yummy and healthy 4th of July breakfast with you.  Before we left I made a simple yogurt parfait.  I layered plain greek yogurt with strawberries, blueberries and granola mixed with chia and hemp seeds and topped it with some chopped walnuts.  

I also wanted to share these fun and fairly simple desserts that I saw in Better Homes and Gardens.

If we were going to be home for the 4th I would of definitely make at least one of them.  

Hope you have a wonderful 4th of July!!!
