Needing a dose of sunshine during this month of winter? This might sound familiar because I asked a similar question last month! But in these months of winter when the temperatures can dip below freezing and the air has a snap to it, one can't help but think of the sunshine and long a little bit for a soak in some rays.

I found out some really interesting facts about them. The first super interesting fact I found out was this: Isn't that fascinating?! Here are some other interesting facts about the sunflower - although I am still the most fascinated by it's ability to clean up nuclear waste!  Another super fun fact about sunflowers is their mathematical skills, of which I have none so I'm always impressed when math plays a role. *wink* The seeds arranged in the Fibonacci sequence ensures maximum sunlight for each floret. How freaking cool is that?!  Today would be a...

Send out some sunshine to friends and family by putting together some sunshine boxes or bags. It's a fun and cheery way to brighten the February day of people you love!
