Polka Dot and Plaid 4th of July Printables, for Celebrations/Cookouts

I have been having fun designing some 4th of July printables to share with you, to add a fun red, white and blue themed touch to any cookout or celebration you may have planned, with family and/or friends. (Or, you can even print the cute Bitty Pennants out and string up in your home!) These are the little details that make hosting a gathering so fun to plan, and also the details that impress your guests, and make them smile. So I hope you like them! I tried to design them with simple direction right on them, to show you how easy they can be to prepare.  But I will give you some printing tips, at the end here as well, after you look at the previews of the printables in this post.  But first .… Read More

4th of July Weekend/Part II/Parade & Fireworks

Most every year, we make it down to the Plymouth parade.  Being in America’s Hometown, it’s a big deal around here!  (As is Thanksgiving, and our parade for that.)

This year, it was HOT-HOT-HOT.  Full blazin’ sun, humid as anything, the works.  We enjoyed the majority of the parade, and then were all happy to cut out a little early, and get out of the sun!  It’s always a great parade though!

The kiddos brought their American Pinwheels and Liberty Shakers they had made.  Other parents and kids were buying those $10.00-20.00 souvenirs off the carts,  but they were looking at ours, wondering where they could get those.… Read More

4 Moments from the 4th

4kids

Just 4 shots I loved from our 4th of July. First, of course, is our kids.  Yes, they do huddle frequently for a shot together, because I ask them to, and they oblige me. However…they put themselves in this order most every time. The trio always scramble around each other saying “Birth order, birth order!”.  And then {A} jumps on at the end. lol  Being the orderly person that I am, I don’t argue. : )  It rather pleases me, actually.

Now….can I just say how much I LOVE this photo of {O}?…..

“I LOVE THIS PHOTO OF {O}!”

Thanks.  Yes, she actually is that cool.  Those are my shades she has on.… Read More
