Happy February!
Let’s kick the month off with shopping and dining!
How about a tote to carry your groceries, they’re on sale today only with free shipping here
The high quality totes are roomy, and available in 3 sizes
The laptop sleeves are well padded with a easy zip closure, and the iPhone case is durable, protective and always gets compliments
I’m going to take advantage of the sale today and stock up on notecards and get a travel mug
Okay, now let’s eat!
I am always happy to bid January goodbye, and to start thinking forward to Super Bowl Sunday, Valentine’s Day, Mardi Gras, St. Patrick’s Day and Easter. So much to celebrate in the days to come!
Flavor of the Month for February is….Raspberry
