Happy 4th of July, mamas! Today is one of my favorite holidays of the year. That might sound a little weird to some people, 4th of July being my favorite holiday, but think about it . . .

Who doesn’t like summer days spent with loved ones?

Who doesn’t love having an extra day off from work?

Who doesn’t enjoy watching a parade, going to the beach, or to the lake, and watching fireworks?

Who doesn’t have fun going to a friend’s or family’s barbecue and enjoying time together?

And who doesn’t appreciate our country and all of the wonderful opportunities that it provides?

Seriously, July 4th is an incredible holiday, so let freedom RING!!

I always loved the 4th of July, but it wasn’t until 2015 when it became my favorite holiday. I literally took the saying “let freedom ring” to a whole new level when I exchanged rings and said “I do” to my husband, Brian. That’s right, today is our wedding anniversary. 🙂

It’s crazy to think how many years it’s been since this magical day. I guess time flies by when you are having fun and working hard. I also find it kinda funny how America gained its independence many years ago today, but Brian lost his independence on this day. 😉 hahaha! (This joke never gets old.) But seriously, I hope you all are getting to do something fun today to celebrate!

Happy 4th of July, everyone! What are you doing today? Any fun plans? I’d love to know so I can have some more fun ideas for years to come.
