My sweet daughter is eleven, which means she is about 29 years away from celebrating Valentine’s Day with a real Valentine. In the meantime, I’m throwing her an awesome Tween Galentines Party. On a Dime. Because, let’s face it, we just had Christmas. ***Funny aside, my daughter and I just tried doing the math for that …

I got a Fitbit! I’ve been thinking about getting one for a long time, but I’ve always thought that they were too expensive. Until I found a great deal for one on Groupon. Pretty teal color, right?
