For Those Last Minute Planners This Fourth of July

Photo by:  Flynnside Out Productions It's officially  less than a week until the Fourth of July! You know what that means! Parties, food, fireworks, games, and more! In case you are feeling stuck this holiday, I went ahead and found this article through HGTV to help give you some ideas on how to throw the perfect holiday party! Let's start making those memories, shall we?!  The first thing you are going to want to take into consideration is food. After all, it's not a party unless there is food!

If he has been the best father you could ask for, show him a little love! More than likely, if we are looking at today's typical home process, he probably didn't have much a say in choosing the decor and layout of the furniture! I'm all for having a Woman-Cave, as I'm all for having a Man-Cave! That way your shared space is still your shared space, BUT you each have a room all to yourselves! Now, let's talk about some ideas that LIFE  talks about with contribution from HomeAdvisor and Andrea Davis.           When it comes to deciding what to put in there and designing the layout of the room, you should ponder about what your dad likes and dislikes.
