Fourth of July via Martha Stewart

I love the americana feel of the 4th of July and here are a few ideas to inspire you.








I love the bike all decorated. As my little lady is now riding a bike we might have to go out and find some fun, festive decorations.

I found these all on Martha Stewart.com.

What do you do for the 4th? Do you decorate or have a big family gathering?

We live away from all of our family and are usually home and on our own for the 4th of July. Our neighborhood holds a festive parade and pool bash that is always tons of fun. We usually decorate our little wagon and and walk in the parade. It's fun and has been a tradition of ours for the last five years. Then in the evening we usually grill out and then light our own, minor, fireworks at home; sparklers, snakes and smoke bombs maybe. We are in a drought here in Florida and most of the big fireworks shows have been cancelled, unless of course we get lots of rain. Here is hoping for lots of rain between now and the 4th.
