The last Thursday in November is Thanksgiving. The day after, Black Friday, gets a lot of attention as it’s the official start of the holiday shopping season. The following Monday has become known as Cyber Monday, a day when online shoppers can find the best deals on their favorite retail sites. It’s all become a […]
Just as we can expect to eat too much this holiday season, to dread spending time with that family member, or to fall asleep watching the football game, shopping is a rite of passage this time of year. And while you may hate battling the crowds or trying to make the budget work, you can feel good […]

Everywhere you turn, it seems, there is an opportunity to help victims of Hurricane Harvey. It’s a refreshing thing to see; these days, things we can all agree on are difficult to find. There’s no doubt the folks to our south need a hand and we all want to do what we can. Muddy Paws […]
