Sunday Salon hosted by Readerbuzz is simply a place for us to link up and to share what we have been doing during the week. Sunday Salon is a great way to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there.
I'm participating in First Book of the Year again. I've chosen a book that I hope will reflect what my reading will be like this upcoming year. Check back on Friday to see what that book will be.
While spending time on the Internet I've discovered some great gift boxes. I decided to buy the Buy Local Box: Montreal to support local businesses and to give back to my community. This is a first edition box. From each box sold, 50% of the sales is donated to "Dans la Rue" charity that helps homeless and at-risk youth. For this box, 17 generous local businesses have donated their products, coupons and time to create this inspiration box. My daughter and I are now looking for recipes to use these great products.
Hope you are all well. Stay safe and take care of each other.

I need to look into Think Like a Monk.

DeleteThe gift boxes is a great idea, we went to town yesterday to support our local stores too. Have a great week and enjoy your new books :)
ReplyDeleteI think we need to support our local stores. This pandemic is so hard on them economically.
