My family loves to picnic and watch fireworks each 4th of July. So today I thought I would share a bit about our 4th of July traditions and how we keep the spirit throughout the day!
Kohl’s sponsored today’s ideas.
My hubby served in the armed forces for seven years, mostly before we met. His dad, brothers, two of our nephews and a niece did too! Needless to say, we celebrate our patriotic holidays with enthusiasm. It’s not just a picnic and a day off work to us. We truly appreciate all those who serve to make our country great!
For the 4th of July our day usually starts by attending our local parade, then we grill in late afternoon and we end with a picnic to watch the local fireworks show. It doesn’t hurt that we can see the local fireworks show from our yard! {grin}
This year, I shopped for some new patriotic inspired picnic decor at Kohl’s. I’m completely in love with this Lush Red and White Stars quilt. It’s perfect for the 4th and it will look great on our guest bed the rest of the summer season. And do you love the current nautical trend? These darling anchor pillows are the perfect touch to bring that trend into my patriotic decor.
I have to admit that I’m a huge fan of lanterns. These are solar lanterns so they can power up all day, and then light up the night when the fireflies come out to play. {wink}
Other little touches include galvanized trays and buckets for snacks and drinks. And the prettiest Americana stars and stripes napkins from Food Network.
Our sweet little Boo Boo is even getting into the spirit. At just seven months, our little shorkie is excited for her first 4th of July picnic with the family. {wink}
From my family to yours, I hope you have an amazing 4th of July weekend. And by the way, you can shop Kohls.com and pick items up in the store, or they’ll ship for free on orders more than $75.
