Patriotic Projects

Summer is hepatriotic projectsre and Independence Day is coming. This is a time when I think about how our country came to be and what our forefathers envisioned for us. I think about all the sacrifices my parents made to bring us here to live and flourish in freedom.To celebrate Independence Day,  I’ve been looking for kid-friendly patriotic projects to make with my li’l blue-eyed beauty.

Looking at everything from festive decor to personal attire and, most importantly, le menu, we are getting all our ducks in a row with these fun and creative crafts, starting with Lady Liberty.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Just click on the image to get to the instructions. Best wishes for a safe and happy 4th of July from our family to yours!

Enchiladas tonight! 🇲🇽 Shawn marinated the Enchiladas tonight! 🇲🇽 

Shawn marinated the chicken with garlic, lime, salt and then grilled it to perfection. 

He roasted red onions with homegrown tomatillos and blitzed them with lime, cilantro, red chili.

I made a chevre filling adapted from @bobbyflay, added the chicken, wrapped them with fresh tortillas, smothered the lot with Shawn's salsa, topped with @tillamook farmstyle shredded cheese and tucked them into the oven.
