Deals: Valentine’s Day, Colorado Garden and Home Show & More

Valentine’s Day. Most people think of this holiday in the romantic love way. Maybe because I am a single mom, maybe it is just my weird way of thinking of things – I don’t think it has to be all about movie-quality romance – and making people that aren’t paired up sad. I think of Valentine’s simply a day of showing each other love. No matter if that is giving your kids an extra hug and telling them you love them, or calling your parents and saying, “Hey, I love you and everything you have done for me,” or even just starting your own gratitude journal on all the things you love. And in that case, MileHighMamas I wish you the Happiest of Valentine’s Days!

Dairy Block Petite Parade. Saturday, Feb 22^nd from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dairy Block will celebrate Mardi Gras with a mini-parade. Create a float for the parade starting with a shoebox. Floats must be lo larger than two feet, by two feet by three feet and must be able to be pulled on wheels. There is a $50 fee for entry of a float – but the parade is FREE to watch.

Colorado Garden and Home Show. When I’m stuck in my house, thanks to snow, I think of all the house projects I want to do – and my Pinterest boards fill up. But there is another way (besides wandering the aisles at Home Depot and Lowe’s) the Colorado Garden and Home show marches into town February 22-March 1. Tickets are on sale now. Kids 12 and under are free. Regular adult admission is $12 ($10 for seniors).

Free Magazines. I may have mentioned this before. I am a total magazine junkie. I love getting magazines in the mail. I have since I was a kid (maybe I should have worked at the Postal Service for as much as I love getting mail). But I rarely ever PAY for them. I do a quick survey and get points. You can do it too!
