Mid Year Freak Out Tag

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having an amazing day and are staying safe. Today I am here with one of my favourite posts of the year, the Mid Year Freak Out Tag. As usual I feel like this time of year just sneaks up on you from no where and I’m never prepared for it however this is the first year where I am doing this at the beginning of July rather than the end.
