The 4th of July might look a little different this year but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun, create traditions and make memories your family will remember forever. In this week’s episode of MOMHOOD we rounded up some of our favorite ideas for this holiday. From decor to activities, food and DIY take a look below for some red, white and blue inspiration! And then tag me on IG @BrandiMilloy and @MOMHOODShow so I can see what you came up with!

DECOR

• Decorate your front door with these Patriotic Wreath Ideas

ACTIVITIES

• Decorate your bikes, strollers and wagons and make you own parade in your neighborhood

• Grab all your old white t-shirts and do a Red, White and Blue Tie Dye Party (go to Orly’s YT Channel for major tie dye inspo & tutorial)

• Make a Footprint American Flag Craft

• Have a backyard DIY Foam Machine Party

FOOD

• Red, White & Blue Bruschetta

• Firecracker Hot Dogs

• Grill Packs

• Make healthy red, white and blue popsicles with coconut water and berries

• Triple Berry Red, White and Blue Pancakes with a sparkler candle on top

• American Flag Taco Salad

If you're tired of showing up to 4th of July parties with the same berry flag cake (no offense), you've gotta stop what you're doing right now and make my patriotic oreo cheesecake bars.

They are super creamy with a chocolatey oreo crust and the red and blue swirls are actually pureed strawberries and blueberries (with a little gel food coloring for bold color)! These bars are relatively easy to make-the hardest part is waiting for them to set up! If you're short on time, follow the same fruit swirl technique using your favorite no bake cheesecake recipe!

I had so much fun making these on Home & Family.You can grab the full recipe here.
