Spring Swing

Isn't this lovely!? 

I want one in my backyard!

Happy Spring

Sweet September Sundown

Perfect time of year to be outdoors at sunset.

Filling the new night with your own lights. 

What I wouldn't give for a backyard that was fun to spend time in right now! 

In the sweet september night. 

Where every night can feel like your own private party.

Ride a Bicycle

One of my favorite things to do in the Summer.

Go on a ride.

Down a pretty little path.

 

You never know where you might end up.

Take a picnic.

One of the Best ways to enjoy a pleasant Summer night.

Take Me To The Ocean

The Beach

The epitomy of summer. 

The sights. 

The sounds.

The movement. 

The mix of warm and cool.

The enticing welcome. 

Summer.

Happy Independence Day!

Happy Independence Day!

Americana Baseballs

When I was young, I learned a song about being American, and one of the lines was "What's more American that Baseball?"  For some reason, Baseball is associated with Independence Day for me.  I love the way these baseballs look all paitned to look like flags.  I may have to do this some day.  What a great use for old baseballs!  Love it.

Red White and Blue Drinks

I am so in love with these awesome non-alcoholic drinks I saw on {Moore Minutes}! 

Aren't they just the coolest!!?  She says she got the idea at {The Sister's Cafe} and seriously, possibilities are endless!!  What a great party idea!

Wall of Glory

Loving this wall of flags.  Seen at {Apartment Therapy}.

The Pledge of Allegiance

So sad.  I don't remember where I found this.  But, I love it.  Just a wooden plaque painted white and sanded around the edges, with stickers or rub ons or really good handwriting of the Pledge of Allegiance, with three little stars at the bottom.  Simple, and very cute.  AND, I really like proclaiming this pledge that is often unused today in a world where God is not always recognized.

Flag Wreath

I really like this.  I think I like it so much because it reminds me of one of those nautical inner tubes.  Super cute, and super easy.  Just wrapping yard around a pre-made wreath, and attaching some stars.  Visit {Nap Time Crafts} for details.

Patriotic Cake

Doesn't this look Delish!!  And it's so festive!  Visit {Unusual to Tasty} for the recipe.

Kids DIY Mother's Day Pot

I love this kid craft idea! Something so simple that turns out so cute!

All you need are some empty tuna cans stripped of their label, and some clothes pins. 

Have the kids pin the clothes pins on the can all the way around. 

Simple right? 

Then you can put a plant inside. 

Or they even make great votives. 

But for Mother's Day, a flower would be best!

Visit {Family Chic} for all the details.
