Okay, so do you even know what Leap Day is??!! Every four years, February 29 appears on our calendars…..sort of like the Olympic Games. Now you might be thinking….why do I care about Leap Day? I am so glad you asked. I am going to be having a fun special at my online store. What is the special? You'll have to come back on Tuesday to find out…unless…..
