It’s March! In New England, it’s been very cold and very windy. Not a fan. However, I’m also not the biggest fan of spring given my terribly allergies.
But after March comes April, and you know what that means. The SBTB April Fool’s Day surprise!
We’re working on something great. We hope you’ll love it as much as we do!
