Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Happy Summer! There are a lot of books to catch up on. Our last book club book was I Will Always Write Back: How One Letter Changed Two Lives by Caitlin Aliferenka which we all really enjoyed. It is a really positive story about achieving your dreams. It is a fast read and is slow …
