The year is officially back into full swing in February and we’ve got big plans for the year!

We know Feb is jam-packed with big days like Valentine’s Day, The Oscars and the Grammy Awards – but there are also a few personal faves of mine, including Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day, Public Sleeping Day and Play Your Ukulele Day.
