I Crashed The Web

Someone recently told me that the Fourth of July is the “halfway point” of summer and I’m not okay with that – as I keep preaching, I LOVE summer and don’t want it to end!! If you’re experiencing deja vu, it’s because I am acting somewhat like a broken record…

I’ve said this before – but summer is my FAVORITE season. I enjoy the warm (and yes, even hot) weather. I enjoy having the kids out of school and getting to sleep in. I enjoy the break in activities (right now we just have baseball, soccer and swimming!), the longer…
