Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when it comes to dessert, I do NOT play around! 😂 

Normally, I’m not one to share my sweets, but after a big dinner, I figured splitting a dessert with my hubby would be cute and romantic. 🥰
Well, that lasted about 2 seconds. 🤣

Because why was this man taking bites twice the size of mine?! EXCUSE ME, SIR?! We agreed to SHARE, not for you to eat 75% of it! 💀😂

So naturally, I had to take matters into my own hands and make sure we were getting equal portions. Marriage is all about compromise, right?! 😜

Please tell me we’re not the only married couple who turns sharing dessert on date night into a full-blown competition?! 🤣
Be honest… are you a dessert sharer, or is it EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF?! 🍰

If you want your Christmas tree to look fuller, fluffier, and more expensive, this simple Christmas decorating hack makes ALL the difference! 🙌🏻

Seriously, just look at the difference between a fluffed Christmas tree and one that hasn’t been fluffed yet! 😍 Taking the time to spread out and shape each branch helps fill in those awkward gaps and makes even an artificial Christmas tree look so much fuller BEFORE you add a single ornament!

And trust me, as someone who puts up multiple Christmas trees every year, I know how tedious this step can be. 🤣 Especially when you’re dealing with flocked Christmas trees and end up with fake snow ALL over your house! 🙃

But I promise, those extra few minutes of fluffing are SO worth it for that beautiful, full Christmas tree look! 🎄

Also, consider this your friendly reminder to NEVER wear black while decorating a flocked Christmas tree. Ask me how I know. 🙃

Y’ALL!! If you’ve never experienced Christmas at The Angus Barn in Raleigh, NC, you are seriously missing out!! 😍✨ This place is what Christmas dreams are made of, and I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by all the beautiful Christmas decorations, twinkling lights, and festive displays! 🎅🏻🎄

I seriously felt like a little kid on Christmas morning, walking around in complete awe of everything! 🥹

But this day actually started out pretty rough. We traveled 3.5 hours to Duke for another medical appointment, hoping to finally get some answers about my ongoing health issues. Unfortunately, the appointment didn’t go anything like I had hoped. Still no real answers, no treatment plan, and no clear direction moving forward. 💔

As you can imagine, I left feeling pretty defeated and discouraged. It’s exhausting constantly searching for answers and coming up empty-handed.

But then we went to The Angus Barn, and for a little while, all those worries faded into the background. 🥹❤️

Y’all know Christmas is my absolute FAVORITE, so being surrounded by all that Christmas magic was exactly what my heart needed! And the delicious food was just the icing on the cake! 😍

Even though the day didn’t bring the medical answers I was praying for, it still turned into such a special memory. And I’m beyond thankful for my sweet hubby, who continues to drive me to all these appointments, stand by my side through every disappointment, and find little ways to make me smile along the way. ❤️

Sometimes a little Christmas magic can’t fix everything, but it sure can make a hard day a little brighter. 🥹✨

So if you’re looking for a magical Christmas restaurant in Raleigh, North Carolina, add The Angus Barn to your holiday bucket list ASAP!! 🎄🎅🏻

I mean, ’tis the season, right?! 😜

Listen, Christmas decorating is my Super Bowl, and I fully intend to soak up EVERY second of the holiday season while I can! If that means putting up my Christmas decorations before Halloween is even over, then so be it! 🤣

And just because my Christmas trees are up doesn’t mean I can’t still enjoy my Reese’s pumpkins while I’m decorating! Best of both worlds, if you ask me! 😆

So tell me… are you team Christmas starts November 1st, or team wait until after Thanksgiving?! 👀 No judgment here… okay, maybe a little! 🤣
POV: You thought your cat would look adorable in h POV: You thought your cat would look adorable in his Halloween costume… but he had other plans. 🦁😹

I thought Toby was going to be the CUTEST little lion for Halloween this year, but apparently he did NOT agree with my vision! 🤣 He ripped that lion’s mane off faster than I could even get a good picture!

At least I have video proof that he was a lion for approximately 5 seconds before deciding he was DONE with Halloween costumes. 😂🦁

Please tell me I’m not the only crazy cat mom who buys adorable Halloween costumes for cats who absolutely refuse to wear them?! 😹👇🏼

Easy Kitchen Patriotic Decor Ideas You’ll Love

Y’all know me and know that I love to decorate every space of my home seasonally. And the Fourth of July is no exception! I love to fill my home up with patriotic colors, even my kitchen! So I thought today I would share with you all some easy patriotic kitchen decor ideas! 

You don’t have to go all out, a few little touches here and there’s perfect! I will be sharing easy ways to add in patriotic home decor, specifically in your kitchen. Which I know the kitchen is sometimes an overlooked spot when it comes to holiday or seasonal decor. But let’s change that with these easy and simple ideas! 

Easy Patriotic Kitchen Decor Ideas

This post contains affiliate links which means I could make a small commission and no additional cost to you. Click here to read my privacy policy. 

Patriotic Tiered Trays

One of my favorite, and the most easiest, way to display decor for patriotic holidays is to use a tiered tray! I shared more about that in my post on adding small, seasonal touches to your tiered tray. That post is geared more towards fall decor, but all the info and tips I shared can easily be applied here too.

Patriotic Tiered Tray in Kitchen

Tiered trays are perfect to display little knick knacks, like a small American flag, or any other small red, white, and blue piece. They don’t take up too much room, and they can easily be transitioned into the next season as well.

Patriotic Kitchen Tiered Tray

I went shopping in Hobby Lobby the other day, and they had plenty of small pieces with red, white, and blue colors on them that are perfect for a tiered tray. Plus, they were super inexpensive too!

July Fourth Themed Tiered Tray on Coffee Bar

So even if you have a small kitchen or space, a tiered tray would be a perfect option to display some easy patriotic kitchen decor! And really, if you don’t want to do too much this season, a tiered tray is all you need to make a statement! 

Patriotic Kitchen Towels

Here is another super easy patriotic kitchen decor idea! Just add in some machine washable patriotic towels in your kitchen! Hang them off of the dishwasher handle, oven handle, etc. Or showcase them draped over a tray and/or a shelf!

The possibilities are endless and this is a very cheap way to add in a red, white, and blue theme to your kitchen! Get one with a USA flag on it, or one with just some patriotic colors to it, and you’re all set!

Patriotic Kitchen Towel

I have one that has fireworks on it hanging off of our dishwasher. And another one that has stars on it, draping over the dining room shelves. Our kitchen is completely open, so the dining room is right next to it. Which I consider to still be kitchen decor!

Vintage Red, White, and Blue Open Shelves

Just as I mentioned above, I love to style our dining room shelves in patriotic colors as well. And one of my favorite ways to do this is to add in some vintage pieces. I love to look for old pieces that contain the red, white, and blue colors.

Even if they are considered “patriotic” or “Americana” pieces, as long as they have the right colors to them, I will use them! Such as that vintage potato chip tin on top. It has the perfect colors for the patriotic holidays to it!

Vintage Patriotic Open Shelves

I also love to use a lot of vintage red pieces because you can get double usage out of that. You can use them for both the Fourth of July as well as Christmastime too! 

I also just add in a few little patriotic touches to my already existing vintage pieces on my shelf too. Such as adding red, white, and blue stems into my vintage ironstone pitcher, or red paper straws into my vintage English advertising jars. Both are cheap and inexpensive ways to decorate your kitchen with patriotic decor!

Stars in Dough Bowl

Patriotic Candles 

Another fun idea I added to my kitchen patriotic decor this year were candles. And you may not think of candles being patriotic, but my favorite candle company, Antique Candle Co., offers unique candles that are hand poured into vintage vessels. 

Patriotic Antique Candle
Kitten Smelling Candle
Even Miss Riley Enjoys Antique Candles!
Patriotic Candle Burning

I was able to snag some that were perfect patriotic! With free shipping too! One is in an old crock and has The United States of America Seal on it, and the others are vintage red ironstone pieces. And as I mentioned above, these red ironstone pieces will be perfect for reusing them as Christmas decor in the future! 

Patriotic Vintage Candles

​Antique Candle Co. often restocks their antique candles, so definitely be on the lookout for that if you want to snag some cool pieces like this! They also make for a great gift too, and you can use my code “MACEDONIA10” to get an additional 10% off your candles as well. You just can’t beat that! 

Vintage Patriotic Coffee Bar

I’m ending this patriotic kitchen decor ideas post with one of my absolute favorite areas to decorate in my home- my coffee bar! If you’ve been around here long enough, then you know I decorate my coffee bar every season and love to switch things up! 

Side View of Patriotic Coffee Bar in Kitchen

So of course I had to create a vintage patriotic coffee bar this year too! I absolutely love the antique campfire marshmallow and Cracker Jack tins, how perfect for summer are they?! And all my Rae Dunn July Fourth themed mugs are perfect to display on the hooks. 

Vintage Patriotic Coffee Bar

I keep adding to my collection year after year when it comes to patriotic decor, so even though I decorate each year, it always turns out different. Which I love! 

Close Up of Coffee Bar Decor

I hope these easy patriotic kitchen decor ideas I have used in my own home, gives you a little inspiration to decorate yours too!  You don’t have to do as much as I do!

You can do as much or as little as you want. I am just here to give you all the inspiration and ideas that I possibly can! And be sure to check out all my other patriotic home decor ideas I have to share as well!

And I’m beyond thankful for my sweet hubby, who continues to drive me to all these appointments, stand by my side through every disappointment, and find little ways to make me smile along the way. ❤️

Sometimes a little Christmas magic can’t fix everything, but it sure can make a hard day a little brighter. 🥹✨

Ummm, what do you mean?! Is that even a question?! 🤣 Obviously, I’ll be decking the halls, putting up Christmas trees, and baking and decorating Christmas cookies! 🎄🍪🎅🏻

I mean, ’tis the season, right?! 😜

Listen, Christmas decorating is my Super Bowl, and I fully intend to soak up EVERY second of the holiday season while I can! If that means putting up my Christmas decorations before Halloween is even over, then so be it! 🤣

And just because my Christmas trees are up doesn’t mean I can’t still enjoy my Reese’s pumpkins while I’m decorating! Best of both worlds, if you ask me! 😆

So tell me… are you team Christmas starts November 1st, or team wait until after Thanksgiving?! 👀 No judgment here… okay, maybe a little! 🤣

I thought Toby was going to be the CUTEST little lion for Halloween this year, but apparently he did NOT agree with my vision! 🤣 He ripped that lion’s mane off faster than I could even get a good picture!

At least I have video proof that he was a lion for approximately 5 seconds before deciding he was DONE with Halloween costumes. 😂🦁

Please tell me I’m not the only crazy cat mom who buys adorable Halloween costumes for cats who absolutely refuse to wear them?! 😹👇🏼
