Vegan 4th of July

0 Comments

 
I have a hard time getting excited about celebrating the 4th of July in the traditional manner these days.  Being vegan and having very young children don’t usually add up to a big day.  As many of you know, the checklist to even get out the door can be unending:  bottles, diapers, wipes, change of clothes, sunblock.  And don’t forget the kids!    You add in being vegan, and I end up more exhausted just planning, let alone doing.

I have given up on forcing my children to stay up past their bedtimes, and to fight traffic only to have three exhausted and whining kids on my hands.  Gosh, do I sound rather cynical with a smidge of party pooper?  So, I decided to reevaluate how I celebrate this wonderful occasion.  Heck, I went from being in charge of keg purchasing for parties to being in charge of burping my child.  This should be a piece of cake, right?  Without eggs, that is…:)

And guess what?  It is!  Not only is it different, but it’s more fun!  As a Pinterest fanatic, I have done my homework and compiled two guides for you.  The first are my top picks for 4th of July decorations. The other is a list of fun kids’ activities and crafts for Independence Day.  I am always a fan of decorating, in fact, it might be up there with cooking.  So, get some fun decoration inspirations, plan a couple kiddie activities, and then you can focus on making delicious food and celebrating the holiday.  And please drink responsibly - Don’t drink and drive.  Enjoy the holiday and remember to thank a Veteran for your freedom!
