Happy Independence Day, America!

Two hundred and thirty seven years ago we fought for and won our independence from Britain. Today we continue to fight to keep the freedoms and life we value. Supporting small businesses, medium-sized businesses, and even big businesses who put America first is one way to support America and move closer to independence from the financial and economic binds we struggle against now.

While it isn’t always possible to buy American, we have many opportunities that don’t cost that much more than choices from places with sketchy labor practices.  And as moms, we have a great deal of power over the purse and the purchase!

Independence Day is about more than fireworks, barbecues, and family vacations, but about our ability to enjoy these things due to the sacrifices of others, hard work, and our American values. While we may not all agree on political or social concepts, most of us would agree we love this country because we can think differently, act differently, create, work hard, and achieve the dreams held by our founding fathers and other visionaries who have since come.


Celebrate this year by honoring America not just with fireworks, but by supporting American based businesses who produce Made in America and Made in the USA products. As our country’s revolutionaries knew 237 years ago, economic freedom is one of the most important and can make or break a nation. Let’s continue to build America from the inside out.

Happy Independence Day
Happy Fourth of July!
