I’ve learned to follow along with the twists while trying to keep the original intention in mind. Our vlogs tend to go […]
It’s August, you guys, August! And you know what that means — back-to-school time. Does anybody else feel like summer passed by too fast? We do! Granted, we’ve had a great summer.
