Wellness Weekend, February 6-9, 2014
Happy February, everyone–and Happy Wellness Weekend! You know, in a normal month, I’d probably be amazed at how quickly the time is passing by (almost Valentine’s Day–have you got something special planned?), but with our weather the way it’s been, I’m just happy to see it go.
