Can you believe it’s already July? It’s a new month, and time for some fresh backgrounds.

I believe in what this country is supposed to stand for. Freedom, really and truly, for everyone. And when it feels like we’re moving away from that rather than toward it, it’s hard to know how to celebrate. So this year I decided to find my joy where I could. For me, that meant my kids, some sparklers, and a fresh set of desktop backgrounds, because apparently that’s who I am.

Whether you’re working from a desktop or scrolling through your phone, the right wallpaper can brighten your day. From fireworks to beach scenes, and even red, white and blue bows, July offers a wide range of imagery that captures the essence of summer.

One of the most iconic representations of summer is the beach and water, or it is for me. So for my July backgrounds, I went with simple summer moments. Sailing, the sea, and palm trees make me think of the perfect summer day. I’ve included some sailing and beach backgrounds that you can use year-round – some with calendars and some plain to take you beyond the month of July. These images are perfect for those of us who love the sense of calm that the water brings. Shop my summer favorites here.

This is a big week for our family. My middle daughter just turned five and my oldest turns SEVEN this weekend! We’re having another slow summer over here. The girls are playing tennis, swimming, and started piano lessons, and are spending the rest of the time riding bikes and playing outside. Here are my updated July backgrounds for July 2025.
