We are well into winter, and March is headed our way. Many of us already dream of warmer spring weather. However, snow days can still be a thing for much of North America. Stock up with supplies so the snow will be a fun event, not a struggle to get to the store. You'll have FUN even when there's NO SUN!



If you have big-ticket items that need upgraded, Presidents' Day deals can be your go-to cash grab! Many stores will pre-publish items and their sale dates. Contact stores now if you think they might have something you want! Deal done!


You've heard of "no-spend" challenges. After the expenses of the Christmas holidays, the bills are finally rolling in, so, challenge yourself to a no-spend February. It IS the shortest month, so now's the time if ever! It doesn't mean NO spending, just no UNNECESSARY purchases. Give it a try. Your pocketbook will love you!


During the chill-bump days of February, cooking isn't always on your horizon. Take a day and meal prep for the week. Utilize your freezer and fridge, pull out your prepared dishes, and pop them into the microwave or oven. Meals done! (Money saved, too!)


Did you know that houseplants breathe through their leaves? Dust the tops regularly with a damp paper towel for a healthy shine and better absorption of light, but don't forget the underside. That's where the stomata (breathing pores) are found on most leaves. Healthy plants help make for a healthy life!
