Getting Into The College Search with Simply Admissions

As Gabbie approaches her senior year and the start of college applications, she has been focusing on getting into the college search and the process of deciding where to apply with Lindsay from Simply Admissions.

June Book Favorites

This month, I have read a few 5 star books so far and I’m excited to share them with you here. It’s almost the end of the month but there is a slight chance I’ll finish another 5 star read before the end (after I write this post) – in that case it will be included in my next wrap up post!

Once we made it to Niagara Falls, we settled into our Air BnB and then walked over to the falls to check them out from above.
