Happy Monday everybody!

How was your weekend? We went to the Summer Solstice event on Saturday. It was our first time celebrating the hottest longest day. My five year old daughter loved seeing all the magical characters there. She counted one mermaid, four pirates, and โ€œten hundredโ€ fairies!

Guess whatโ€ฆIโ€™m ramping socials this week. Thinking Facebook and Instagram to kick things off.

Give us a follow (FB / Insta) before we make our very first post recapping our first month back in Greensboro.

June is almost over. Can you believe it?!
