Star-Spangled Kids

The kids went to Wichita for six days.  My plans were to do a blog post about our lovely time without the kids, but after adjusting to them being home again (and dealing with the "Grandma's house hangover"), I don't think I have the energy for an entire blog post.  Instead, I'm going to make this short and sweet and announce a festive link-up scheduled to begin next Friday.  The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays.  It ranks just a teensy, tiny bit below Christmas, but there are many things about the 4th I love even more than Christmas (ummmm warm weather anyone?).  This year, I'm co-hosting a 4th of July link-up called Star Spangled Kids.  All you have to do is dress up your kids in their best red, white, and blue, snap a picture, and blog about it (and link up) between next Friday, July 1 and the following Thursday, July 7.  You can also share your photo on Instagram using the hashtag #StarSpangledKids.  And that's it.  Because I love any and all things festive (especially kids), I can't wait to see all the cuties in their US of A best!

(And now I'm going to go cry because the 4th of July means summer is coming to an end quicker than I would like it to.)

  5. So I am the opposite... I get excited for the 4th because it means Summer is almost over. I am not a fan of heat and humidity and that's pretty much Ohio this time of year.

  8. 6 kid free days? that's amazing! I'm sure getting them back would be extra tired after all those calmer hours. I'm still working on getting Aria some red white and blue so we can link up. It is not our fave holiday so I never remember. Pretty sure she wore purple last year...my bad.

  9. I am SO excited this is happening again this year. I may or may not have bought a week's worth of 4th of July-inspired outfits for Stella in preparation :)

  10. Yeah - glad this is happening again!! And also - I love that your title is "star spankled" - I'm sure it was an accident but for some reason it cracked me up!
