Springing forward...

I have some wonderful spring household tips to share, but first I have some very honorable mentions.
They come in the way of local businesses, I have had the opportunity to meet and do business with in the last couple of weeks.
1. Family Taekwondo Plus. Located at Sunrise/Antelope and can be found online at www.famtkdplus.com   They offer martial arts classes for Kids, Adults, Families, and a special KinderKicks program for ages 3-5. This is a program I highly recommend, and when you get the chance to meet the Awesome owners...you will see why.
Thank you Dominic for your time and energy...your contribution to our growing community is more valuable than ever !!

2. S&S Tires on Auburn Blvd... Thank you Moe for my new wheels and your great service !
