August Holidays & July Wrap Up 2017

August 1, 2017

August, the time of back to school sales and relentless heat, is among us. With it comes the newest edition of monthly holidays!

This month I am looking forward to packing up my life and moving in to college. Fun fact: I really enjoy packing! It’s like a puzzle, trying to make sure you have everything you need and fit it all together. July was a busy month with my graduation party, a week spent dog/house sitting, and the Dysautonomia International conference!

In July I published five blog posts:

  1. Disney Travels Part Three: Disney Springs & Flying Home!
  2. My College Orientation Experience
  3. 30 College Orientation Tips
  4. One Year Blogging Anniversary
  5. 5 Things That Happened at the Dysautonomia International Conference 2017
