Yes, my name really is spelled that way.

life on repeat.

I was lucky to have a couple days off in addition to the July 4th holiday and the added time meant I did the things I like most repeatedly - eating, hiking with Maximilian and catching up with friends.  Unfortunately, I can't take credit for the beautiful spiderweb photo and the snap of Maximilian below - those are courtesy of my friend Angela....

I also made my mom's 4th of July dessert, a frozen yogurt pie with blueberries and strawberries.  Since this dessert isn't exactly a) gourmet or b) much of a recipe (think assemblage), I didn't take a ton of pictures.  Just like the last slice (pictured below), the pie is sweet and simple!

In the spirit pie....
super easy frozen yogurt pie. 
1 graham cracker pie crust
1 small container Cool Whip
3 containers of yogurt (strawberry)
strawberries, hulled and halved
blueberries

Mix together Cool Whip and yogurt and pour into pie shell.  Arrange blueberries and strawberries on top.  Freeze until firm (usually overnight).  Allow to thaw at room temp for about 15 minutes before serving.  

The best part about this pie is you can substitute any kind of fruit and use any flavor of yogurt!  The possibilities and variations are endless...
