It snowed!

Hello everyone! Thank for all the birthday wishes, that was unexpected.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday, and that today's snowstorm didn't rock your day too much. 

I said before I love rain. I also love snow. 

Winter wonderland, bring it on.

Okay, so I have a few fun notes to share here before we get started...

### 📍 Westminster / Northside-ish

A sweet reader named Alysha sent a request to sniff around for activities a little further North in Jeffco and I'm all for it, so I'll be adding locales to the list - let me know if you have any suggestions! She gave me a few.

### 🕹️ Game Nights

I'm noticing an uptick in interest for **games** \- board games, video games etc. Please email me your love for games and if there's interest I'll drop in some of the stuff I come across (a decent amount, actually). 

### New Whole Foods

The brand new massive Whole Foods is opening ***next Tuesday*** across from Colorado Mills. A little birdie told me **everything** in the smaller WF store in the same parking lot **will be 50% off all day on Friday**.

Okay let's get to it - loooooottttts of stuff this week/end.
