The 4th of July means food, fun, fireworks, friends, family, and fattening festivities. If you want to make a patriotic splash at the party this year, try these star-spangled ideas:
When it comes to kids (including this particularly adorable one, who happens to be mine), a little red, white and blue can go a long way.
The Girl Who Ate Everything shows how to make this fabulous trifle, along with many other yummies, on her blog. Check it out!
This cute and easy craft will keep your kids occupied while they’re waiting for the fun to begin. An eagle made of hand- and foot-prints? I’m in! Check out the tutorial at Free Kids Crafts.

Are you hosting the party this year? Is your home sadly unfestive? Here’s a great last-minute idea, very cute, very cheap, and very easy. I love these flags in tins! You can find the tutorial at Organize and Decorate Everything.

And finally, I think this might be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen, cuter than puppies, cuter than Zac Efron. A watermelon, hollowed out, and used as a drink dispenser, with a spigot. A spigot, I tell you! Check out the whole post over at Kara’s Party Ideas.
And now, my sassy wish for you:
May your fireworks be spectacular, may your tummy be full, may you be surrounded by loved ones, and may you have Monday off to recuperate.
Happy Independence Day!
