• Monday is my last day of school. It would have been tomorrow but we had one snow day. So Monday it is. I can’t complain too much about it. One year we had 3 snow days. Below is the picture from our snow day in February.
• Snow sounds good right about now. It has been very hot here in Chicago. We went from winter to summer. I live on the 2nd floor so it gets even hotter here. The temperature inside has reached mid 80s. Yes, we’ve turned on the AC. Even Lola gets uncomfortable.
• I am a big fan of Ticonderoga pencils. I went to Target the other day and saw those pencils in metallic and pastel colors. Love, love, love them. If you have kids in grade school, please buy these for them to take to school. Their teacher will appreciate it.
• Speaking of Target, their customer service is phenomenal. I accidentally left a bag with 4 items and didn’t realize it till I got home. I called the store but no one had turned it in. The next day I stopped by to check. Still no one turned it in. However, they let me get those four items again and take them home FOR FREE. How amazing is that?
• Have you heard of Imperfect Produce? It is a subscription service that fights food waste by finding a home for ‘ugly’ produce.
