Happy February!

February 1, 2010 //  by Uju//  2 Comments

It’s official. February is not just the coldest but the coolest month of the year.

Valentine’s Day, Mardi Gras, Pancake Day, Chinese New Year…and did I mention, we’ve got THREE birthdays in our family coming up over the next couple of weeks.

Kicking off the festivities, our eldest turns 4 tomorrow. At the weekend it’s mama’s happy day and 10 days later my baby clocks his first birthday. We’re all growing up so fast!

So in honour of fabulous February, we’re lining up a load of goodies for Babes about Town readers – from special offers and giveaways, to party planning ideas (for those of you that are better organised than myself!), as well as an introduction to some new features that are set to become regulars.

If you’re nowhere near Rio, Trinidad or New Orleans but want to get in the carnival spirit, or maybe you’re just looking for a little Valentine’s inspiration, then stick with us. The Babes have got tips and tricks to get you and your honeys in the mood.

Here’s a shout-out to fellow Aquarians, and also the Pisceans in the house and if you or any member of your family has a birthday this month, drop us a line. You might be in for a nice surprise!
