July is when I reflect on our freedom and the blessings it brings. I am eager for my children to understand the significance of the 4th of July. To appreciate our flag and learn about the various monuments in the United States. That’s the reason I began gathering books about the 4th of July. I truly appreciate the stories and knowledge that each book offers.
This sweet space provides the perfect setting to relax and savor these patriotic books. Red, White & Blue everything went into this setup! All the @pearlandjane garlands, disco balls & patriotic touches I have gathered from @target over the years. Combined with the adorable @chalkfullofdesign chalkboard map, @zozu_co flag bow & @againstthegrainhc apple plaque made it pop! ❤️🤍💙
