FREE Kids Workshops at The Home Depot
Cut to the chase. Take me to the Momsense. Since we moved into our new house about 6 months ago–and it needs a little, er, sprucing up–we have been spending a lot of time at The Home Depot. On my frequent trips there, I was always seeing signs for The Home Depot Kids Workshops. But since […]
