{Live} Safe Fun In The Sun With GrUVyWear

July 2, 2012 in All Posts, Parenting, Sponsored Posts

If you know me in real life, you know that I am pretty fanatical about sunscreen and wearing protective clothing to keep myself out of the sun’s harmful rays. I’ve been known to wear overalls or be covered head to toe on the beach to “lie out” with my friends. I’ve always been that way. […]
