I love Memorial Day Weekend. It's the official kick off to summer fun. But more importantly it's a day to remember what was lost to enjoy our freedom.
We usually start our day at the cemetery, bringing flowers to our daughter, Aria's grave. (Her story here.) I LOVE the cemetery she is buried at. Before her, we would drive by this hilly cemetery and I always commented on how beautiful it was. Now it's even more beautiful to me because a part of my heart is there, between the fourth and fifth tree.
I like to add a little bit of seasonal decor to my home, to help my family feel festive. Sometimes I go all out, like on Halloween and Christmas. But for occasions like Memorial Day, I just like to add subtle touches. I'll get out my red cake stand, I'll display a few flags, I have a few fun patriotic pieces, but nothing too over bearing.
This year, I designed this "Land of the free because of the brave" printable to add to our gallery wall.
Adding something as simple as a printable to your decor can help you embrace the season.
I know you want this framed for your home too, so I created a free 8x10 that you can download for yourself. You're Welcome!
If you use it, let me know how you used it, I would love to see!
Love,
Heather
