Decorating for Holidays

So holidays are kinda a big deal in the Gillespie household.

Just ask my family about the birthday parties I throw for my kids...I don't spend a ton of money but there is always a theme, balloons, confetti and a birthday quiz!

I blame my {addiction} on my mother. :)

She decorates for every holiday..and I loved it growing up.

I have since morphed into my mother in more than one way.

My extended family puts up with my ever rotating collection of holiday nick nacks, wreaths, window clings, colored lights, etc.

I find great pleasure it checking out Target and Kohls after holidays to find great deals on holiday decorations for upwards of 90% off! 

So this summer I just finished decorating with the Patriotic theme. Unlike any other time of the year, I can keep up all my decorations for almost three months! Woo hoo!

I even forgot about two hand towels and a placemat for my kitchen that is red, white and blue themed! Three hidden gems I found in my linen closet tonight (it's the little things, right?!)

I am attaching pic of my front porch! Happy Summer everyone!

Happy Memorial Day!
