In addition to being the hottest month of the year in most areas of the U.S., July is arguably one of the busiest for our social calendars.While the months of November and December are reserved for holiday plans, July is more about surviving heat waves, making beach trips more bearable and trying to remember all of the weddings, barbecues and other commitments we have.
