July Collection
"The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library." Albert EinsteinDo you agree with this idea? The library is where all the knowledge of so many live. Books hold the wisdom of those who have gone before us. But is it the only think you really need to know about? Join the conversation in the comments below.
July was crazy busy for us. It was the month of summer sports camps, family vacations, and days at the pool. Needless to say, it has exhausted me! I do not remember summer being so exhausting when I was a child. It also means I am ready for school to start again. Just a few more weeks.
At what point during the summer do you run out of energy as a parent? Or if you are still in school, do you enjoy every second of summer?
