Happy almost Fourth of July!!! With so many people trying to beat the heat, I thought I would share my idea for refreshing drinks for the kiddos. It’s always fun to be festive and allow the children to feel special. 
I picked up some striped straws from our local BevMo and simply added flags that I made using Microsoft Publisher. 
I used the little glasses we had from our Beer Tasting Party. They are a perfect size for the kids. I filled them with Strawberry water and added a fresh strawberry to the glass. They look pretty darn fun with milk in them as well for the red, white and blue theme! 
……………………………….festive drinks for kids 
……………………………………marshmallow pops Another favorite around here are the marshmallow pops which you can read about here. Easier than cake pops and a fun sweet treat for the 4th of July. 
I hope you are getting into the spirit of the 4th as well. I am really looking forward to the mid week celebration. Our town does it up on the 4th so we are excited to take part in all of the annual traditions. I will be back tomorrow to show you our Fourth of July mantel. enjoy your day! oh, and go check out more 4th of July fun over at Megan’s party! 
Gorgeous! I am planning on making your marshmallow treats for Wednesday! Also, do you have a recipe for strawberry water? Thanks!
omg, that looks so refreshing!
So fun! I really need to pick up some striped straws just for everyday use! Good to know you found yours at BevMo!

Looks like something you would see in a Martha Stewart magazine! So patriotic and fun!!!
Those look really cute
Love love the striped straws…I have to get some of those!
I wish I was a child there- how great do they look!!
I look your sweet drinks and marshmallow pops! Tell me this if you can…I have wanting to get Microsoft Publisher like you and some other bloggers have, but I have a Mac. Is there a comparable program for Macs that you know of? Thanks if you can give some input!!!
Courtney, those are perfect! I love how you embellished the straws! I need to figure out the program for Macs like the commenter above. And I love the "enjoy your day" ombre colors- so pretty!
Love this! The straws are so cute. I'm doing something similar for a styled shoot I'm helping with soon! Happy almost 4th:)
These are too cute! What a great idea for the 4th!
You're always the mom hostess with the mostess! Love these – I want one! So bummed we didn't get a chance to meet up this time 🙁 next time for sure! Have a great 4th – we missed our neighborhood's fireworks – they did them this past Saturday so we'll be heading downtown I guess.
