Heyy Kitties!!!! Can you believe it’s finally July?!? It feels like just yesterday it was June, and it’s already the 4th of July, a year after my July Fun! ๐๐บ๐ฒ post!!! So today, we’re highlighting parades, burgers, outdoor fun, and summer highlights!
Burgers, Parades, and Fireworks
Hi guys!!! So, as you know, the 4th of July is kind of a boring holiday, but hey, we get burgers, fireworks, and parades out of it!!! In fact, once the fireworks kept me up until 10 pm ๐
But let’s be serious, the best part of this time of year, I’d say, are the burgers. Juicy, delicious burgers… my favorite food of all time! I even ask my parents for burgers every time my birthday rolls around!!! ๐ My dad always grills either lamburgers (lamb hamburgers) or regular burgers made of beef.
But anyways, Sprayel will be playing a piano concert on the 4th of July, so don’t miss it!!! ๐น๐ฆจโฉโชโฉโฌ
Oh, and speaking of Sprayel, if you’ve known my site for a long time, you’ll remember the Lake House Spraycation post from this spring. Well, since I loved making it so much, the Spraycation series will be coming back in September when I go to the shore!!! I’m probably way more excited than you are, I might start it in August… ๐๐
And plus, July 20th was when my Sussie from Kpop Demon Hunters Squishmallow was supposed to come, but it ended up coming super early: June something-teenth!!! It is literally the cutest thing ever, which KPDH Squish did you add to your collection? ๐
Sorry there are so many pictures of burgers on this post, there’s not much else to put pictures of in this post, LOL… ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Oh, and if the fireworks keep you up all night, here are some updated remedies, like from last year, (July Fun!) for loud firecrackers and fireworks:
FIREWORK REMEDIES:๐
- Squeeze a pillow tightly over your ears at night when the fireworks are the loudest.
- Wear headphones for the whole time. (Note: This will probably not help too much.)๐ง
- Use earplugs. This’ll probably not help you too much too, but it’s better than headphones.
- Play loud heavy metal music to block out the noise. This one will definitely help. ๐ธ๐ถ
So anyways, that’s it for my Firework Remedies!!! I hope they will help you out a bit! (Or not. These aren’t really helpful, LOL)
I just painted my toenails, guys!!! I picked out a purplish pink color that’s holographic, and it’s kind of hard to see with my skin tone, so I’m a bit dissapointed. But it still looks super cute! ๐ What color nail polish do YOU like? โจ
I don’t have any pics of my Sussie Squishmallow-YET. I have a really stupid two-hour time limit on my tablet, so I didn’t get too much time to take any!!! But since it’s the 4th of July, here’s a pic of my burger.

Can you guys believe this large plank of grass and dirt has been here for 250 years??? I’m definitley not THAT old…๐ง
Personally, I think 90 degrees is WAY too hot for going to a parade. Me and my mom usually go every year, and it is WAY too loud, I always have to cover my ears because of the blaring sirens. I’m so glad it was only seventy-five degrees all week when I went to summer camp, I wish it was now because sometimes they throw Dum-Dum lollipops off floats. Personally, this year I’m just here for the HAMBURGERS. ๐๐>๐๐ฅ๐
My mom made the most delicious cherry pie. We finished the whole thing in only two days and I’m not the tiniest bit sorry about it. It was amazing!!! If you stick your fork into the side there is super thick goo on it. Luckily, I found a similar recipe for cherry pie to show you guys! That’ll definitely be the recipe today. Speaking of Recipes, it’s actually coming up next!๐๐ฅง
How To Make Cherry Pie!!!
Guys, this cherry pie my mom made was AMAZING. Wanna make it for yourself? Just follow this awesome recipe!
Prep time: 30 minutes ๐งโ๐ณ Cook time: 35 minutes ๐ฅ
Ingredients
- Flour
- Salt
- Shortening
- Cold water
- Cherry pie filling (canned)๐
Directions
- Gather the ingredients.
- Whisk flour and salt together in a bowl. Cut in shortening with 2 knives or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.๐ฅง
- Mix in cold water by hand just until dough holds together. Divide dough in half and form into disks. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Roll out 1 dough disk into an 11-inch circle and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Place in the refrigerator until needed.โ
- Roll out the remaining dough disk into an 11-inch circle for the top crust, transfer it to a plate or baking sheet, and refrigerate until needed. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place a baking tray in the oven to preheat.๐ฅ
- Pour the filling into prepared pie crust. Cover with your top crust, trim and crimp the edges to seal it, and cut slits with a knife to let out steam.
- Bake in the preheated oven on the preheated baking trayย until the crust is golden brown, 45 to 55 minutes. Allow it to cool down for several hours before slicing!
- Enjoy!!!๐
That’s it for my cherry pie recipe. I hope y’all enjoyed! Extra tip: Try some vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top of it!!! Hope I helped ๐ Byeeeeee!!!
New Free Furniture + Country Manor!!!
Heyyy Kittie Cats!!! Today, I’ll be taking a look at the brand new Country Manor in Toca Boca, plus some new free furniture in Home Designer!!!
Now, you guys probably know I don’t really need free furniture because I have at least fifty packs, I’m literally not kidding (when the Hospital and OK Street High went free it was heartbreaking ๐ญ๐) but you know, it’s always good to get a few free items, even if I literally never use them, LOL…๐คท
Anyways, now it’s time to review the brand new Country Manor!!! I decided to buy it, even though it was five dollars. I was originally not going to buy it, but I remembered I have a rich family and that this would be the perfect house for them! I even used the butler from the Haunted House as their butler.
I feel like we have had a lot of mansion/manor type houses, like the Modern Mansion, but this new pack is really different from those packs. It has more of an old fashioned feel to it, which is usually not my vibe, but I do like this!!! ๐ฐ
I really love the stained-glass windows and the garden ๐ชปwith the outdoor entrance!!! There’s even a secret in the garden: if you tap a part of the bushes, it reveals a secret hiding spot for crumpets!!! Which Crumpet should live there? I’m thinking the one from the Stable Grounds.
There are also three Country Manor free gifts coming soon, which, if I remember correctly, are puppies!!! One of them is really fluffy with a pink bow, which is my favorite. ๐ฉ And the chandelier and palm tree lights are so fancy in my living room and bedroom!!! I’m almost done with the other rooms (bathroom, kitchen, dining room, and garden) so hold your horses!!!
Anyways, the new free furniture is super cute!!! I’ll probably do a No Money challenge where I build two cute and aesthetic houses with only free furniture, so keep an eye out ๐
But anyways, I totally reccomend that you buy the Country Manor, because I actually really like it! See you guys next time for more Toca Boca content, but until then, BYEEEEE!!!! โจ๐ฆข
