I’m so grateful to the sponsors who support this space, and on the first of each month I love to feature them here. When you shop from these awesome businesses and let them know you saw them here, they continue sponsorship which helps support my efforts. And we truly appreciate it! So thank you, dear readers and sponsors for your continued support, we’re grateful to you.
