- Have a movie night. Host a movie night (in PJs of course) and let everyone pick their favorite films.

DIY S’MORES KITS WITH BRANDI MILLOY
By: @brandimilloy
Nothing feels like summer more than s'mores on the campfire. I love making s'mores kits for camping and road trips for an easy and fun outdoor treat.
My favorite combinations are:
Graham Cracker + Roasted Marshmallow + Salted Almond Chocolate Bar
Graham Cracker + Roasted Marshmallow + Reese's Cup
My kiddos love swapping out graham crackers for Oreo's! There are so many fun combinations you can come up with! I love to keep my friends guessing the kind of chocolate I used and see what everyone's favorite s'mores are. You can find these cello bags online or at most craft stores. Personalizing them with Happy Planner stickers make them even more special.
No matter what you’re doing, we wish you a fun and safe 4th of July filled with celebrations and lots of treats! Be sure to share your plans, 4th of July planner spreads, or cute s’mores kits with us on social @the_happy_planner!
