I have just thoroughly enjoyed my summer this year- from the (relatively) nice weather to the fun trips my family has taken...and July was no exception! The hubs and I went to Disney. Without the kids. (I know! I know! We're the world's worst parents and should be made to serve a lifetime sentence of watching back-to-back episodes of The Wiggles. I've been getting the guilt treatment all month from our family and friends. But we enjoyed it and we didn't have to go on the Dumbo ride or push double strollers in 95 degree heat, so I'm fine with it.) ;)
Here's some other things that were happening around our little blog this month:
