Wanted to wish you all a Happy 4th of July week! As you may already know, we are taking a mini-vacay in Maine, and I will also be taking a little break from posting on popcorn and pandas. Although, rest assured, I will be taking many photos while on my trip of course, and will have lots to share when we return.
I decided to put together a little playlist of some of my favorite patriotic American jams. Hopefully you can use these ideas for a BBQ or however you happen to be celebrating this year.
