This Fourth of July bunting is the adorable and such a perfect project for soooo many things! If you have a patriotic party to decorate for, if your kids are bored and need a little summer project, this is it. And, the best thing is… it’s free! Just today, my boys were telling me that…
For my family, get togethers either include the mountains or a pool. But I’ll take either. I also love doing fun activities with the kids for holidays to make special memories. Entertain the kids at your 4th of July get together with this fun free printable 4th of July word search.
Happy upcoming Fourth of July! I’m so excited to share this fun home decor project with you. Not only is this piece super easy and inexpensive, it’s also one you can get the kids involved in! Nothing makes a decor piece more special than knowing little hands helped to create it.
Happy Fourth of July! Do you have any exciting plans tomorrow? There is something extra special about festivities that happen around the Fourth of July. Well, this is Darleen from Darling Darleen, and at our house we go all out on this patriotic holiday. I make sure we are all donned in red, white and blue outfits…of course! When we lived in the Northeast we spent many 4th of July holidays in Boston and on the beaches in Cape Cod, attending the parade and fireworks show. Since living in the South, we’ve picked up a tradition that many of the neighborhoods do, which are bike parades! This was new to us, but we love the idea.
We love this because you can take your party on the go–whether hitting up your town’s annual parade or having a festive picnic at the park. Visit the dollar store or your local craft store just a few days prior to the 4th or better yet TODAY. They usually mark down holiday party items a couple days before the actual day. Pick up paper pinwheels, streamers, garland, flag picks and the inexpensive what-is-this-used-for items. Chances are most of it will look pretty darn good on an 8-year-old’s bike.
Hi all! It’s Gina from Kleinworth & Co. Hope you all are having a wonderful summer so far. For many years we lived in the desert of Nevada & endured countless scorching summers. During that time we learned a thing or two about how to cool off when the temps keep creeping higher. When it gets hot I like to whip up something quick in the kitchen & then go find some shade to cool down. One of my favorites is this Sour Berry Fizz. Just a couple ingredients & 60 seconds in the blender & then kick your feet up & relax by the pool.
This was one drink we really loved to enjoy out on the back patio while having some pool time. I would whip up a double batch & keep the pitcher out with us by the pool for easy refills while we splashed the afternoon away.

Have you seen these cute wooden frames at Michaels? I spotted them the other day as I was headed to the check-out line. What caught my eye was the price: $1. Yes, one dollar! I grabbed a couple. My crafty mind was spinning thinking of all the ways I could decorate and use these frames: paint, vinyl, stickers, mod podge, washi tape….. Now I have to go back for more!
Since today is Memorial Day, I wanted to make a patriotic frame…
Alright, so I recently shared with you how to make marshmallow guns. The kids and I made them for their 4th of July booth. But, we also made foam swords (out of those swimming noodles). They were a big hit! From the little kids to the grown men, their were battles raging everywhere! Here’s…
My kids have putting so much time and energy into making their marshmallow guns for the Fourth of July booth. But, it’s still important to me that they take the time to think about this blessed country that we live in and realize what people have gone through (and continue to go through) to ensure…
I’ve been excited to share this post with you! I’ve had several emails asking about how our Fourth of July booth went last year (The Perfect Summer Project for Kids). It was SO fun! The kids worked so hard to get all of their stuff ready to sell. We made most things, other things we…
