Let Freedom (and Fun) Ring!


Reader -

The 4th of July is almost here — a time for cookouts, sparklers, water balloons, and, most of all, remembering the incredible gift of freedom.

For some, it’s a day of fireworks and celebration. For others, it’s a quieter time with family, reflection, and gratitude. However you celebrate, I hope this season reminds you of the simple joy of being together and the deeper gift of what it means to live free — and love well.


Celebrate the 4th of July with Meaning + Memory

Here are a few ideas to make the day extra special:

Host a backyard game night

Grab glow sticks, water balloons, or a few printable party games and let the fun roll. If you're looking for an easy win, I have a Fourth of July Game Bundle that includes:

  • Charades
  • Trivia
  • Scattergories
  • 5-Second Game
  • Party Signs and more

Get crafty with the kids

For Sunday School classrooms or Christian homes, I have two resources that blend faith with fun:

Try a holiday-themed scavenger hunt

If you're heading to a parade, cookout, or fireworks show, take along our Fourth of July Scavenger Hunt — a fun way to keep kids engaged while celebrating the red, white, and blue.

Start a new family tradition

Not sure what to do? Grab our printable Fourth of July Bucket List for simple activities that are easy to check off, even at the last minute.


Whether you’re gathering with neighbors, serving at church, or keeping it cozy at home, I hope this 4th of July is filled with laughter, thankfulness, and just the right amount of whipped cream.

Here’s to celebrating freedom!

Hi Reader - Can I tell you something that might surprise you? Despite all the emails I send, all the creations I share, and all the planning tools you see on the blog… I’m not a natural planner. At all. I don’t run our summer on a color-coded schedule. What I do have — and what’s helped our family the most — is a rhythm. It’s flexible. It shifts day to day. But it gives our home a gentle flow, and it keeps us from feeling like we’re just reacting to chaos all summer long. What’s a rhythm,...
