Oh to be a kid again.
School ends and the days get longer.
Ahh, summer is my favorite time of year. Does anyone else love living in a sundress?
As I’m writing to you, the Toronto humidity is starting to settle in and the sun is shining through a few clouds.

That’s why I decided to do something different this year.
For four weeks in July, we’re going to focus on revisiting a post or video from EventPlanning BlueprintTV.

For me, the summer always sparks new ideas and increased energy to get things done.OK, so let’s do it…
