Julie from Crowing Details is here today to share how she put together a fantastic kids' activity station for July 4th that will delight your kids! She also designed a free printables to go along with it! 

Even though my 3 little ones are still too young for a big fireworks show, I still like to make July 4th fun and exciting for them. I also like to find a way to entertain the adults at my BBQ.

Today, we went to the Maker Faire in San Mateo, CA. The Maker Faire is "part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new." It's as if Burning Man, Google, and an artisan pickle maker had a baby.

If you are looking for a great way to entertain your kids on long car rides this summer, I have one suggestion... Audible! It's a lifesaver.

My daughter's favorite book is Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. She loves the special world Alice enters, and all the incredible characters she meets along the way.

You might have seen this pop-up on our site...

A few years ago, we built this for ourselves, a pop-up to grow Pinterest followers, and it worked so well we started giving it away for FREE to other bloggers and business owners. We named it MiloTree (after our favorite tree in Hawaii).

We saw Finding Dory opening weekend, and our whole family loved it! The movie is funny, sweet, and touching, and the message about accepting people's differences is so universal and important.

When Party City asked me to style a Finding Dory party I was happy to do it. I wanted to make the party simple, stylish, and fun.

Disney•Pixar’s Finding Dory opens June 17th, and I can't wait to start seeing Finding Dory parties added to our site. So to inspire you, I created these easy Finding Dory & Finding Nemo party favors made out of tissue paper.

And whenever I'm crafting, I always keep Bounty paper towels handy. Bounty is 2X more absorbent -- so nothing cleans up messes (like glue, glitter, or paint) better than Bounty. And how cute are these Bounty prints featuring Disney•Pixar’s Finding Dory paper towels, in stores now.

Paper flower backdrops are so popular right now. This is definitely the on-trend decoration!

What's great about them is they add so much drama to your party decor! And they work for so many types of parties: bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays, and more.

I'm very excited for Finding Dory to open on the June 17th. We've already made plans as a family to see it opening weekend.

I've been seeing so such amazing cookie decorating videos on Facebook, I wanted to make custom Finding Dory and Finding Nemo cookies that would be both easy to make and super cute. So here's what I did...
