Photo Credit I’m throwing out a disclaimer here. I’m still processing a bit near the beginning of this post, but I believe I resolve the issue as the post concludes, so hear me out before you think I’ve just given up. I think it’s important for anyone NOT in my head to have an idea […]

Let’s be real here. It’s hot. Pretty much everywhere in the USA. My part of the USA also has a lot of humidity, so it feels extra hot! Let’s be real again. Extreme heat can drive energetic little people crazy because they can’t run off their energy in the usual manner. That’s when it becomes […]
