While Deborah and Ben fought the crowds for Macy's always-spectacular Fourth of July Fireworks, I opted for a quiet day at a small lake in upstate New York where my parents own a cabin. Part of my mom's family joined us for a day of boating, fishing, swimming, and of course, barbecuing (while my napping baby cousin Ryan celebrated with patriotic swim trunks). After an intense salsa-tasting contest (Wild Harvest Organic Mango Peach Salsa blew the competition out of the water.), we sat down to watch the annual Fourth of July boat parade and later chowed down on the usual picnic garb (not forgetting the hot dogs and hamburgers). You couldn't ask for a more stereotypical Fourth of July celebration ... but the fireworks were the icing on
the cake. Let's pretend that I have a really cool camera and the following pictures fully show what it's like to sit on a boat in the middle of a lake with fireworks bursting into the sky from all directions.

- Let's just say we make things work (sort of, most of the time). As roommates for three years in college, we lived in incredibly small spaces together and not only made it out alive, but we made it out as friend. Now we're out of college and just can't get away from each other. Kait is an aspiring editor, loves all things magazine and is on the job hunt as we speak. Deborah on the other hand is an aspiring TV reporter, also on the job hunt and loves all things shiny. One 90-year old landlord, two high speed fans and about a hundred boxes later – We're finally settling down in our new home in New York City (well, Brooklyn). For the first time we are putting together our skills and collaborating on a project we hope you will love as much as we do. Each week we’ll pick a theme and the cover that one topic in-depth from two different viewpoints. Now, we’ll start off with some easy ones but don’t worry we’ve got some head-scratchers coming your way too.
