Pottery Barn Kids 4th of July Collection. I don’t know about you, but I just love this BBQ stuff and cannot wait to eat the amazing American cuisine in honor of the 4th.

I even have a matching place mat to help contain the mess I am sure to make digging into my magnificent holiday meal. Does Mommy think I am a messy eater?
