Happy 4th of July everyone! I hope that this holiday weekend is wonderful for all of you. I can’t wait to read all about your fabulous Fourth of July celebrations.

This year we are having a July 4th Virtual Backyard Barbecue here at 5 Minutes for Mom. We’d love for you to join us by linking to your blog posts and pictures from your 4th of July celebration.

From pictures at the parades, to fun stories about taking your child to their first fireworks show, we’d love to be a part of your 4th of July.

Please link to your 4th of July posts and pictures using the Mr. Linky below and take some time to visit other participants. Let’s mingle, comment and have fun! Our Virtual Backyard Barbecue will run through Friday, July 10th, to give you plenty of time to link up and visit other participants.

I have a great 4th of July barbecue in store, sponsored by Hebrew National. I can finally cook up and eat the Hebrew National hot dogs that have been sitting in my fridge calling my name. YUM! I will be sure to take lots of pictures and videos at my barbecue, and will be back tomorrow to share my 4th of July festivities with you. I can’t wait!

The lucky winner of our Hebrew National $1,000 Fourth of July Barbecue of Your Dreams, Cybergwen, will also be busy entertaining guests at her incredible July 4th bash. Gwen, we hope you have an amazing 4th and we can’t wait to hear all about it.

Win a Breville Indoor Grill

To make our July 4th Virtual Backyard Barbecue even more exciting, we have a Breville Professional Indoor BBQ Grill, retail value $249.95, to give away to one lucky commenter.

I was sent one of these AWESOME grills to review and I must tell you, it is wonderful!!! So far we have made eggs, grilled sandwiches and chicken on our Breville Grill. It is large, with plenty of room to cook for each of our family members at once. It is also VERY easy to clean, since it has a non-stick surface. I LOVE IT!!!!!
