Happy Fourth of July!! I hope you are all enjoying this long holiday weekend!! I know for our family it seems like we go from one cookout to another. Our kids are in their glory! Not to mention all the good appetizer food we get to pig out on!! We had the BEST Choclate dipped oreo cookies at a cookout this weekend. I had never had the pleasure of having these before but they were delicious. If you ever get the chance to have some (or get inspired to make some) I highly recommend it!! It was really sweet and rich, and you only needed one and it was very satisfying!
I love this time of year. It’s so great to be able to get outside and enjoy the weather. The kids love being able to play games outside! They have hours of fun playing tag, hide and seek and kicking the ball around! Not to mention splashing in the pool and ocean! I love summer time!! I am enjoying every minute of it. How about you? What do you and your family do to celebrate the fourth and the summer?

It is summer time at last!! Almost everyone is out of school, and soon all the kids will be on summer break!! This school year went so quickly! Now it is time to enjoy the summer time! It always seems like summer to me when it is July 4th! It’s hard to believe but July 4th is just around the corner! This is a great time to start creating some fun Fourth of July crafts with your kids. I have highlighted a few fun ideas below.
These are all fun Fourth of July Crafts for kids! Enjoy!

I wanted to take a moment and wish you all a Happy Fourth of July!! I love celebrating the fourth of July!! It’s so much fun to get festive and patriotic, especially when you have young kids! They love to get into it! Getting decked out in all red, white and blue is so much fun for kids (and adults too!). I love that the fourth is one of those times that friends and family gather together for cookouts, and spend a few hours together just enjoying eachothers company.
The fireworks are also so much fun, although not all kids feel that way. Some kids find the fireworks overwhelming and to loud. So they do better if they can watch it from behind a window where the noise is not quite so loud. I think it is important not to fourth children to endure the fireworks if they are really scared of it.
The fourth is a celebration of our freedom and that is so important. Our freedom is something we should never take for granted. I hope you and your family had a happy fourth of July!
