Flags around my House
The Fourth of July is almost upon us…I love this holiday for so many reasons. This year, more than ever, I find myself wanting to go back to the roots of what this holiday represents and I invite you {if you are so inclined} to do the same.
U.S. History.org has so much information including the Declaration of Independence to read for yourself. I will be doing that with my children this Saturday taking the time to appreciate this truly beautiful document.
If you want to have some fun with the kids and maybe even learn a little yourself, River Songs has a Fourth of July Trivia Quiz.
And of course, if you are looking for recipes and crafts, Martha Stewart has so much inspiration. {all pictures below are from Martha Stewart.com}
thankful for freedom hugs, mb
I have linked this over at Hooked on Houses-Hooked on Friday! Be sure to head over there for a veritable library of inspiration!
