The 4th of July is a little bit of a wake-up call for me…
“Summer is whittling away, what are you doing with it?”
Yes, that sounds like the call I hear every year! Of course, I have to prove that I’m not wasting our summer away, so we do it up right on the 4th.
Join me at The Better Mom today where I’m giving fun 4th of July ideas!

And here are some bonus ideas, clockwise from top:
- watermelon stars: you just need a cookie cutter and a wooden skewer!
- annual 4th of July Bike Parade: Get the kids together and decorate the bikes with fun decor from Dollar Tree or dollar sections at Target.
- Fireworks over Lake Tahoe (okay, this isn’t an “idea”, but it is fun!)
- fun 4th of July headband for Baby!














Ooooh, I love the watermelon stars idea!! Maybe some blueberries and marshmallows in between for a red, white, and blue snack!!
Awesome idea! I didn’t even think of that! Thanks, Megan!
