July is one of my favorite months! From Memorial Day Weekend through the end of July, it just feels like a party.
It feels like every single night in Utah, there are firework shows, parades, fairs, BBQ’s, swim parties, and bike rides.
There is just something in the air that makes me want to listen to, “Proud to be an American,” on repeat all summer long. I find myself always looking for family outfits so we can match on the 4th of July.
Bathing suits, tees, dresses, whatever I can find I grab it.
And I’m of course always the last to find something.
Except I won’t be this year!
American Dreamer Tee: Cents of Style
This roundup of amazing items at Cents of Style has got me wondering how may outfit changes I can fit into the day. I already have the Be True trucker hat that I’m going to switch off with this stars and stripes hat.
My kids need the flag aviators, and now you wonder why us mom’s always find our stuff last!
I also want these navy sandals.
You can get this American Dreamer shirt for FREE with any $30 purchase & FREE SHIPPING. One free shirt will ship per order.
I think the thing I love most during July is the feel of community. It’s almost like everyone understands the magnitude of how blessed we are to live in a free country. Where we have so much freedom. Freedom to say what we want, do what we want, believe what we want, worship how we want, dress how we want, and accomplish anything we set our minds too.
My brother that is just above me went to West Point and was deployed soon after graduating from school.
I remember feeling all the feels with the news. Happy that he was so passionate about something. Sad that he was leaving a new baby and wife. Mad that this was his job. Worried that he was on the front lines. Hopeful that his assignment would be quick.
After hearing his stories and experiences, I could not have been more proud. Proud that because of him and so many others, I get to enjoy my freedom.
I get to spend my days being an American Dreamer.
I get to watch my kids ride their bikes around the neighborhood, play sports with their friends, & attend a great school with lots of opportunities.
I get to support their dreams. They change from day to day from being a mom to being a veterinarian to being an actress. My son thinks he will play sports or be a dentist.
But for this week, he is trying to figure out how to make the most profitable lemonade stand he can.
So many others in our family have paved the way for us. They believed in the American Dream. They succeeded, failed, which turned into great lessons learned and more successes.
They sacrificed and went through many trials so that we can be where we are at today and for that I’m so grateful.
