Good morning, and welcome to TheMommiesReviews.com’s Red, White & Blue Family Countdown!
The 4th of July is one of our favorite times of the year. It gives us a chance to slow down, spend time together, and make memories that don’t have to cost a lot of money. Whether you’re planning a backyard barbecue, watching fireworks, reading books together, making simple crafts, or just enjoying a family movie night, we hope this series helps make your week a little more special.
David and I’ve always enjoyed watching the Fireworks together and when Charlie was little he did to. As he gets older he will come outside with us for a little bit then go back inside and watch them from his bedroom window. The nice part of being in our Townhome ie Apartment at Appian Way is we can watch several Cities shoot off fireworks in there City from the parking lot. Would you want to join us?
I know how easy it was for Charlie to become bored before the 4th would arrive beginning today and continuing through July 5, we’ll be sharing one fun family activity every morning. All of our posts will also include FREE HTML printables that you can print right from home. In the afternoons, we’ll share bonus content like recipes, book recommendations, grilling ideas, family traditions, and other summer fun.
Our goal is simple: to help families create memories together one day at a time.
What You Can Expect This Week
Day 1 – July 1: Backyard Scavenger Hunt & Family Prep Checklist
Day 2 – July 2: Patriotic Family Craft
Day 3 – July 3: Pet Fireworks Safety Tips with a Printable Checklist
Day 4 – July 4: Independence Day Family Celebration Ideas
Day 5 – July 5: Family Memory Book & Week-in-Review
Along the way, we’ll also be sharing recipes, easy grilling ideas, patriotic books to read together, and other activities that fit perfectly into summer learning and family time. If you have a fun family tradition your family does on the 4th of July leave me a comment and let me know what you do.
