May 23, 2018 by braveskimom

Remember when you were in school and summer meant VACATION? Summer was a break from the 9-month routine of classes, books, homework and tests. Not that school wasn’t fun, a lot of it was. But after 9 months of learning, everyone needs a break. Recently, I have found myself in need of a proper summer […]
