Happy Independence Day/4th of July Everyone! It is an especially celebratory day for me, as it is the day that my first born made his entry into the world. I remember that day like it was yesterday, as all mothers can attest to. In addition, I hope that everyone’s 4th of July holiday is a safe one and that we never take our independence for granted.
