I was thinking yesterday about Independence Day, and how it\u2019s one of the only holidays that we, as Americans, observe with a celebration that actually fits the true meaning of the holiday. That celebration usually involves everything that we\u2019ve come to know and love about the good ol\u2019 US of A, including fireworks and barbeques piled high with a smorgasbord of sizzling meat.<\/p>\n

We did both in my household (we\u2019re actually heading out to see fireworks tonight). I even grilled up some watermelon for the burgers, which is a Fourth of July tradition of sorts.<\/p>\n

Speaking of watermelon, our first National Watermelon Month prize is here and up for grabs! It\u2019s the absolutely adorable little watermelon bag seen above. (My wife\u2019s description, not mine.)<\/p>\n

I bought it on Etsy<\/a>, and the person who made it<\/a> describes it as \u201ca sweet little bag for your money, keys and credit cards.\u201d The seller also listed the bag\u2019s measurements as 17 centimeters wide and nine centimeters high. I\u2019m not good with the metric system, so that could mean it\u2019s four feet wide or maybe four inches wide. Either way, you can put your keys and credit cards in it. (NOTE: I just used a handy conversion calculator \u2013 it\u2019s 6.7 inches wide by 3.5 inches high.)<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll choose one comment from all the comments left on the blog this month to win this \u201cadorable\u201d bag. To get things started, leave a comment with what you\u2019d put in this bag if you won it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
