June Goals
I love June. Love it. It’s the sunniest, happiest month. It’s the launch of barbecues, homemade ice cream, and air that smells of hydrangeas and sunscreen. This month I am traveling to Virginia for a girl’s weekend, attending my family’s 2nd Annual Mardo Staycation, and celebrating some special birthdays. In addition to lots of fun-having,
