Hey you! I see you — hot and tired and wondering how much longer the summer heatwave or rainy season (depending on where you live) is going to last. June swept through our home like a bossy but loveable friend who brings way too much activity and leaves exhaustion in her wake. After surviving cheer camp, youth camp, and finally a family vacation with four generations of my husband's family, we spent most of last week in simple recovery mode. My girl and her BFF spent more than one day ... [Read More]
