Last week was Independence Day. I spent the holiday with my wife, our two daughters, and a mixture of other family and friends hanging out by our pool, grilling hamburgers and hot dogs.

Later that evening, as it drew closer to dusk, we headed out to a nearby park to watch fireworks. We found a nice spot to park, opened the hatch of our SUV, and sat in the back together awaiting the fun.

But why would you want to make changes to the details of an Amazon listing?

Amy dreamed of being a mother since she was a little girl. When she got married, she wanted nothing more than to start a family as soon as possible.

After trying and trying again, she was diagnosed as infertile.

She was devastated, but decided to use this as a learning experience and as a tool to help other people who had similar struggles. About a year after her diagnosis, she became certified as a fertility care practitioner.

Joshua Blake has always put his faith and his family first. His wife and children are the most important people in his life, and he loves nothing more than being able to spend time with them.

In 2013, the Blake family was given an unexpected challenge. Out of respect and privacy to them I won’t get into the specifics, but the Blakes found themselves with new recurring medical expenses. To further that burden, Joshua’s wife Elizabeth left her job as an elementary school teacher to stay home and provide support in this time of need. Joshua had no choice but to find a way to earn extra income to bridge the gap this created.
