Loving Lately: Fourth of July Ideas
I love the 4th of July. It is red, white & blue, backyard BBQ’s, summer weather and fireworks. Yes, it’s the day we celebrate our independence (for which I am grateful). It also has become everything I associate with a holiday; annual gatherings with family and food with aromas specific to the day. I’m a sucker for flag cakes and sparklers, and I succumb to the bug spray and driving home late- because I am all in baby! (Featured image courtesy of thewinthropcronicles.com)

Speaking of which, is it possible to have too many pies for a holiday? I think not.

Then you’ve got your traditional make the flag out of berries cakes.
While some 4th of July ideas are timeless… some are new to me. I mean I’ve seen the red, white and blue rocket ship popsicle; But I wish I was this creative! Homemade striped popsicles!!!?? I think you’re awesome!

Thank you! I love the creativity of people!
Wow ! some lovely ideas there 🙂
Thanks Lynn, I could spend all day on Pinterest.
It is very addictive !!! 🙂
Great post… I do love me some 4th of July as well… And my favorite thing about you on the 4th is how you laugh out loud during the fireworks. The waffles look great. I could use them right now…
I have a tendency to get giddy, lol.
Love these ideas! Tyler’s family’s big reunion happens every year on the fourth, so may have to steal some of these. Those popsicles are adorable!
I ❤️ those Popsicles! Thanks Jasmine 🙂
Wonderful ideas Sadie – especially the pies and cakes! Thanks for sharing, have a happy day friend! 🙂
Thank you Terry 🙂 Yeah, the desserts always seem to be my favorite too! Happy day to you too my friend!
Great ideas! It will be here before we know it! I may as well decide on a few of those delicious recipes to try! 🙂
If you do, I’d love to see a pic! Thanks Ruthie 🙂
Beautiful !! So many fun ideas here !! 🙂
Thanks Anna 🙂 You’ve already got that pie thing down!
Aww, thanks! 😉 I love those cakes and the popsicle idea is so cool!
Those are all fun ideas! I love watching the fireworks on the 4th. The new house we’ve moved into is very close to where they set the fireworks off and we won’t even have to fight traffic this year, YAY!
That is ideal! It is almost worth it to scout out a property based on that benefit alone. Thanks KR 🙂
Fantastic ideas !
Thank you Freda 🙂
OK – so I have the flag, the cushion, the nails, sangria, pies, cakes can be arranged. Those popsicles are a thing of beauty – must find the recipe. Happy 4th of July Sadie! Love this post!
❤️ Thanks Roberta. I think the Popsicles are so cool!
Love it!! I also remember your mom doing a red, white, and blue potato salad one year–it was so cute and creative? Looking so forward to the 4th of July?????
That was fun, I wish I had a picture!
What fun ideas. I can’t wait to bake the flag berry pie.
I love the berry pies!
