Apron Strings & Blessings Weekly Newsletter Vol. 48
Happy Monday and thanks for joining me for this week’s, “Apron Strings & Blessings.” Let’s take a look at a few things faith, family, home, and patriotic celebrations!

Do you have 4th of July plans this week? This is a big one! I know I am going to age myself when I say this, but I can remember celebrating our nation’s bicentennial birthday!
Whether you are:
- Going to a fireworks celebration
- Having a cookout
- Participating in a parade
- Celebrating with friends and family
- Having a quiet night at home
I hope you have a safe and enjoyable 250 year celebration! We are blessed!
I am adding a few red, white, and blue ideas below. Feel free to share your plans and ideas in the comments.

Favorite Items of the Week
With last week being Amazon’s and Walmart’s big sales, I got several things that I have been waiting to go on sale.

- I got a new oil sprayer – this one is in the palest pink color!

- I am planning to use these Bible tabs in my Bible journal.
- This white cardigan is very light weight and soft.
- These are some of my favorite pans/skillets! I got the pans at an estate sale a few months ago, and I got a large skillet this week. (I still love my cast iron, but these work great for quick meals and easy clean up.)

- Another set of jersey sheets (no wrinkles)
There is something else I am excited to share, but it hasn’t come in yet. I want to make sure it isn’t a joke before I put it out there! 🙂
You can see my other favorites in my Amazon storefront. See the link below.
