The 4th of July is right around the corner! Time to gather some ideas for recipes, crafts, decor and activities! My girls already decorated their bikes with some awesome and easy 4th of July Crafts!
Today my girls will be working on an Independence Day Lapbook! There are tons of fun educational Independence day activities out there!
Do you have some great 4th of July posts up? I would love for you to link them here to share with my other readers! I’m always looking for more fun ideas!
Moms are busy plain and simple. Whether you work in the home or out of the home we are all busy!
Planning a great 4th of July party can be made easy by getting all of your party needs in one location.
For me, that location is Sam’s Club! Sam’s has such a great meat selection. Everything is fresh and the prices are amazing.
Sam’s Club has some great party plans posted up for you right now on their Summer micro-site to help you get it together easily! Click here to check it out! We chose to go along with the Kid Friendly Party and were able to preview it for you compliments of Sam’s Club!
On the site you will find menu and party ideas for these other themes as well!
My family loves Ribs! I myself, eh…no ribs for me. I was able to pick up some huge Country Style Pork Ribs for our party and I want to say the package was around $10.00. These were not small ribs, they were HUGE!
I picked up Hot Dogs and Chicken Nuggets for the little’s. The Chicken Nuggets are already prepared and only required a quick heating in the oven. I also made Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and purchased Country Style Red Potato Salad. The potato salad tasted just like homemade and I can promise you that there were no leftovers!
We also picked up pre-made hamburger patties to save me even more time. Sam’s Club sells frozen patties that are terrific, but I opted for the fresh pre-made patties for our party.
I was amazed at the deal I got on buns! Mrs. Baird’s buns at the grocery store are over $2.00 for 8 of them. I picked up a package of 16 Mrs. Baird’s Hamburger Buns and a package of 16 Mrs. Baird’s Hot Dog Buns for only $1.98 each! That is a huge savings!!!
I picked up the individual packages of baked chips. This way everyone was sure to find a favorite. We also had huge bottles of ketchup and mustard.
The kiddos drink choices were a variety of individual Welch’s Juices. The kids loved them so much more than the traditional drink boxes and pouches that I normally purchase for them. I do believe these are probably a healthier option as well and came in fun summer flavors.
For desert we skipped the ice cream and instead went with Fruti all natural fruit bars. These things are so awesome! I had a sample last time we were shopping at Sam’s Club and I knew this is what I wanted to serve at our cookout. They have chunks of fruit in them and are so yummy! This will most likely be a summer staple in our freezer!
Sam’s Club has more than just the food covered! Our cutlery and plates were also from Sam’s Club. When you have a huge gathering, the last thing you want to be worried about is doing dishes. I wanted to sit back and enjoy this time with my friends and family and that is just what i did!
Entertainment was covered with Nerf toys and Super Soaker water guns! We had so much fun! The Super Soakers are highly recommended by my family as way to have fun and stay cool this summer.
So don’t spend your day running from store to store to prepare for your 4th of July party this year! Just head to Sam’s Club and pick it all up in one place. From food, decor, supplies and fun…they have you covered! Thanks Sam’s Club for letting this mama relax!
Sam’s Club provided me with a full 4th of July party pack of items and a gift card for my participation in this campaign.
I still remember how much fun this stuff was as a kid!
This was taken on the 4th of July. There are a whole bunch of Arnold girls! I’m not gonna try to make myself count them all right now, because I am still on my first cup of coffee. I want to say there are like 17 grandchildren and only 4 of them are boys! That’s a whole lot of trouble making Arnold women for the future! Watch out world!
I wanted to tell everyone to have a happy and safe 4th!
I plan to spend today with my family, as well as remember a friend, Ben Cooksey, who passed last year.
Suicide is one of those things that just sticks with you. My heart goes out to his family today! Remember all the good stuff! B.C. had a lot of friends who miss him dearly!
