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.

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…
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…
