Red, White and Blue Clothes

What to wear on July 4th?....
Where I am, it is supposed to be over 100 so anything outfit would need to take the heat into consideration. But not everyone has that problem. Nonetheless, I chose some outfits...red ones, white ones, and blue ones, plus some that are all red, white and blue. Check them out...




What are you going to wear on July 4th?

July 4th - Sensory Style

Have you started making your plans for July 4th? We have started and I'm really excited...this will be the first July 4th in all the years my husband and I have been together that we are at the same place on July 4th. Since having Ethan, it really didn't matter about seeing fireworks...he would never make it through a night of fireworks. Once we took him to a local baseball game where they would shoot off fireworks after every score...it was too much. He was shaking like a leaf, nervous, anxious and just wanted to leave.

We have learned a few tricks along the way, and I thought I'd share in case someone else could benefit.

  • Bring headphones. They don't have to be plugged into anything, because the headphones themselves will block out the loudest noises. Plus, it might make the child feel more secure...at least, it does for my son.
  • Explain in detail what is going to happen, if possible. For example, if you know that there will be fireworks at a certain time, you can gently remind your child that fireworks are coming.
  • Allow your child to bring a comfort item from home...whether it's a blanket, a stuffed animal, or special book or toy, they can always provide comfort and make your child feel better.
  • Decide beforehand what your escape plan will be. Sometimes the situation can sink so quickly that it's best to just remove your child and yourself. Will mom or dad take them out? Will they wait somewhere for the rest of your group? Make sure your child understands that this is not a punishment, but for their benefit.
  • If you allow your child sparklers or other small fireworks, remember to watch them at all times. Sometimes, kids can be fearless, even with things that should be feared...like fire! 
  • If you are with a large group of people, with lots of sounds and smells, your child could easily get overwhelmed. It's important that you are aware (as much as possible) of how your child is feeling. Sometimes kids have a hard time realizing they are getting upset...it's not until after a meltdown that they recognize it. Therefore, it's up to us as parents to help our child what is too much for them. 
Hopefully, some of those tips could help you and your child as you start to make plans for the 4th. We are actually going to let Ethan spend the night with my mom and the hubs and I are taking the other 2 kids to a baseball game that has fireworks at the end.

Wordless Wednesday at Target

Yesterday, we went to my favorite Target.  Sometimes they have the greatest products and I'm usually in such a hurry, that I don't really notice them. This time, I took pictures of those unusual items and can we say, flashback to the 80's???


 I love this! The "Karate Chopper"...a hand used for cutting up lettuce.
 A pizza plate/platter used to serve pizza! I really need to buy this for my husband!
 Likewise, a popcorn bowl to serve popcorn...
 ...and an ice cream bowl to eat ice cream out of.
 Cute tray, right?
 My kids didn't know what this was...a record player, kids! It just happened to be a tray, with this 80's flashback on it.
 And another serving tray, this one a camera.
Last, but not least, this cute appetizer tray, made up of colorful cassette tapes. Coincidentally, the only cassette tapes my kids know about are the ones for a VCR...

*One more thing, this is not an affiliate post...I gain nothing by showing you these cute items...just considerate it a gift! :-)
