By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
One of the days that we all look forward to each year is Independence Day. July 4th is an important date and a memorable one in the hearts and minds of all Americans. Of course, when you have a family in tow, you will want to celebrate the day together.
As you can imagine, we all have different ways of celebrating Independence Day. How do you celebrate yours? If you don’t really do much for the occasion, you might be looking for some inspirational ideas on how you can make July 4th a date to remember in each year of your family’s lives together.
In today’s blog post, I will share with you some cool ways that you can all celebrate that day together. There are plenty of family-friendly ideas for you to consider, plus they will make sure your children won’t feel bored or cranky on the day. Check them out:

Have a barbecue
While it’s traditional to celebrate Independence Day with some fireworks in the evening, the chances are high that younger children might be frightened of the noises. Plus, it’s important to spend the day doing fun activities together, as they will most likely want to sleep come early evening!
With that in mind, perhaps one of the most fun things to organize for Independence Day is a family barbecue! If you’re not a fan of stinky fires and smelling like a cigarette, it might be worth looking at char broil digital electric smokers as an alternative.
Regardless of how you cook your food, barbecues also offer the perfect chance for everyone to be social and play fun games together. Plus, if you ask your family members to contribute some food, it will keep your grocery bills down for that day too!
Sidewalk chalk party
If barbecues aren’t your thing, why not have a sidewalk chalk party instead? Block parties are great, and it gives all the kids in the neighborhood a chance to be creative with chalk while their parents socialize with each other.
Patriotic bike parade
Do you and your family enjoy cycling? And is there often parades going up and down your town’s major roads? Why not create a street parade of your own with your bicycles! All the kids can decorate their bikes at home and then join together for a bike parade!
Get involved with some patriotic crafts
Everyone knows that children enjoy being creative and making stuff. One neat idea is to have your kids make some crafty creations with an American theme! From Uncle Sam hats to red, blue and white sparklers, there’s something for everyone when it comes to making Independence Day themed items.
Have an indoor party

Traditionally, we would all go outside to celebrate July 4th. But, if the weather isn’t favorable and you’d rather not get soaking wet outdoors, why not have an indoor party instead? The advantage of doing that is you can also do things like watch some Hollywood blockbusters or play board or table games with each other.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
