💃🏻 10 Things to do in January!

Do you love January?
Not to be negative... but I'm not the biggest fan.😏
The month feels super long and the days are super short. I live in my jacket most of the time but try to remain positive by saying, "At least the sun's out!" when I can't feel my fingers or toes. Anyone else? 🙋♀️
However we're already halfway through! (See... always positive!)
And what helps me make January go faster is looking forward to something!
So if you aren't living at the hockey rink, ski hill or have a senior on the high school dance team, I have a list of 10 events, places or things to do to get you excited about January - And before you know it warmer temps will be here!
