Summer is hitting us with all the gusto it can muster I believe! Between tornado season hitting the south hard and the temps now spiking to mid summer temps it has been a bit brutal to say the least! It is beautiful out today though we have a nice breeze and the sky is blue so far even though I believe we are suppose to get some rain sometime today!
I found some fun recipes to try this week and I also found a FREE E-Book by James Dobson on Parenting so here you go:
