We're moving

Hi! Summer has started for us, it's been different than I expected. The main difference is that we're in the process of buying a home! It's a little different than I originally expected.

Body and Soul by Bethany Hamilton is a guide for young girls in regards to fitness, nutrition and spirituality. Bethany has a laid back and easy going approach to the information that she shares.
