Happy early Independence Day to everyone! It feels a little odd this week with the holiday falling midweek but that's not gonna stop us from celebrating, right?!?! I have a couple of 4th themed styles for work and weekend wear and some party decorations to share in the next couple of days posts.
I know that everyone's American dream is different but mine remains pretty old fashioned... Living a simple life with my family, teaching our kids Christian values and making sure that stays in tact for my family and our next generations to come. Bringing another life into this world makes me even more thankful for the country we live in (no matter how much we all seem to disagree now a days) and the men and women who sacrifice so much for my family to be safe. It's a humbling feeling when you sit and think about what that truly means for those who have kids of their own and miss whole portions of their kids lives for their country. And teaching kids about this and what it means is a whole other story. I feel like that's important that they understand the reason we celebrate and all the people we should remember who are doing who knows what while we are all having fun. Those little minds can't yet comprehend it all but it's worth planting the seed so they gradually come to realize the meaning. Don't forget to take the time to say a prayer for those men and women and their families!
So I love to dress according to the holidays! It makes me feel more festive and fun! I never used to like red until I started bringing in more holiday colors for the 4th and Christmas and now I have a good bit to get into the spirit! I try to style my clothes with colors to represent the season and the holiday. So much so that I don't own a lot of black and I don't like to dress in pastels unless it is Spring/summer...And try to dress in rich burgundies, greens, oranges and navy in the fall. I know it's a little crazy. But it's just how my brain operates... I am a little high strung even though I try not to be. My husband and I recently decided I am a lot like Leslie in Parks and Rec...If you have yet to check this show out get on it. It's great. We are late-comers to the party and we know this! Don't judge :)
Talk to ya'll soon.
Love Heather
