July 4: Hacks, Tips, Tricks

We are so fortunate to live in a land of free, a land with diverse minds and thoughts, a country of cultures and acceptable differences. There is just something about the stars, stripes, and red white and blue. In the US, there is a lot of festivity and fun going on. Following the festivity, there is a beautiful display of fireworks over our nations capital and monuments. This Fourth of July, I wanted to get together some tips, hacks, and tricks for creating the perfect 4th of July party. Whether its in a neighborhood of 100 or with your small quaint family in the backyard, enjoy these tips to make your July 4th memorable, patriotic, and full of fun.

1) Safe Sparklers:  You have to be safe with fireworks especially around children. Use the red solo cups to protect children's hands. We love this idea from Love 2 Dream, Do You Blog.

2) USA Sparkler Picture: With all the fireworks you have, you can also use them to take creative pictures. Make this fun day memorable by making those sparkler photos. We have One Good Thing by Jillee to show you how to get it done!
