We are a week away from one of my favorite holidays, and I’m pulling out all of my stars and stripes! The 4th of July to some may be a simple holiday that comes and goes; only marking the midway point in the summer, but for me it’s BIG! Not only is it SJ’s birthday (we convinced him until he was 10 the fireworks were for him), it’s the day we should stop and truly celebrate how blessed we are to be American.
This year we will be having a little party at our farm over the weekend. Cannon will be in charge of the fireworks, while I am in charge of the food. He is a little bit of a pyromaniac, so it’s usually a production quality show ha! Then we’re headed out of town to spend the actual 4th in Napa before my sister-in-law’s wedding on the 7th. That will involve lots of fireworks and even more wine.
I’ve linked a round up of my favorite 4th of July gear below. Take notice of the fully sequined stars and stripes fanny pack. Yup, you’ll be seeing that around my waist this weekend. #extra
So, while you have Ray Charles’ version of America the beautiful playing in the background, watching fireworks, eating a hot dog, and hopefully watching the Sandlot (true American classic), take a second to remember how blessed we are all to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave!
