Celebrating RefreshHer’s 15th Anniversary!

In 2008, my sister told me she was considering writing a blog. “What is a blog?,” I asked. The formal definition is:

Keep Summer Going Strong

I just can’t believe that many schools started back this week. In my heart we still have plenty of summertime left! I’m trying to enjoy it to the fullest. Here’s how I’m finishing out this season. Maybe it will inspire you to enjoy the last weeks before fall arrives.
