Have you ever taken something for granted that you're used to having? Well, that's how I am feeling about this time of year. It being my first Independence Day outside of my home country, I'm feeling a little more proud and patriotic than I usually have in the past. My favorite part of celebrating July 4th is the fireworks. I LOVE fireworks!! Don't worry, I'm not completely missing out. Canada is having their special country day in a couple days and there will be fireworks.. which I'm going to beg my husband to take me to!
With this special American day being just a few days away, I thought I'd share some fun ideas I found from other bloggers in the patriotic mood.
Going off to the fireworks show?
Why not pack a cute little basket full of snacks to bring along!
