4th Of July is my favorite holiday! Do you love fireworks? Stick around for inspirational content to get you excited for the 4th and embrace one of the best times of the year. Family and gathering is where it's at in my heart, and the least I can do is reflect what had me excited as a kid growing up. Fireworks aren't just about explosions, fire, or destruction, but rather a whole new way to experiment, enjoy the science, creativity, put together designs, and have fun with friends.
