Hey hey everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend. We got a bit of yard work done, finally went to see Jurassic World (we enjoyed it!), spent some time with family, and had a great day at church yesterday.
I can't believe that it's time to plan for the Fourth of July (didn't we just open Christmas presents yesterday?!?), but ready or not, it's here this weekend! The Fourth is one of my family's favorite holidays, and this year I'd like to add in a few new ideas to our usual set-up. I found the cutest things as I was searching, and thought I'd share a few of my favorites with you today. They're all pretty simple, so you'll have plenty of time this week if you want to try something new, too.
