Good morning everyone and happy Monday!! I’m still working on today’s “early birds” list so keep checking back, but I thought I’d post it now anyway since there are some awesome sounding ones already. 😀 A nice way to kick start the week!

Also… MARCH’S AMAZON FIRST READS are up!!! 😀 I chose… “The Perfect Marriage” (’cause it sounds like it’s everything but. LOL!!) 😉

THREE THINGS:

1.) I went on an airboat ride this weekend.

2.) I saw dolphins swimming together on that ride.

3.) I also went to St. Pete Beach this weekend (trip advisor deemed it the #1 beach in all of the US). It’s about an hour away from me it was the perfect day. Low 80s, the sand wasn’t hot, the breeze was amazing, the beach wasn’t too crowded, and it was such a peaceful day. And also, no sunburn since I was properly covered in sunscreen and had a beach umbrella for shade. 😀
