4th of July

Today is a day of much celebration for our nation. It is the day when we became free, free from tyranny and free to begin our future as a new, independent nation that could change the world. As you celebrate the 4th of July today, remember all those who have fought and continue to fight for our freedoms, for without them, none of this would be possible.

I can imagine that many of you will be celebrating this 4th of July with family and friends today and tonight, and possibly all weekend. I hope you all have a ton of fun, all while being safe!

My family and I will be having a cookout, swimming, and then watching a huge fireworks display (one of my favorite things to do!). We’ll all be wearing our red, white, and blue attire, along with glowstick necklaces, bracelets, and more!

4th of July Activities for Kids

If you have little kiddos who may be afraid of fireworks or who may be too young to handle small sparklers on their own, I have an awesome list of safe but fun 4th of July activities for kids. Go check it out!

Have an Awesome 4th of July, everyone!

Beachfront Baby Sling Review

Ever try to hold a baby while wading in a pool? It’s like holding a squirmy and slippery (but adorable) fish who just won’t stay safely in your arms!

And what about baby floats or inflatables for the pool? They’re simply not safe enough, especially when your baby is too little to properly sit up!

TELL ME: How often do you have baby in the pool with you? Do you worry about his/her safety?

Thanks to Beachfront Baby, though, I won’t have to worry about my slippery little fishy this year when I want to take him in the pool! They sent me their Beachfront Baby Sling to try out with my little guy who’s just over a year old now. [Read more…]
