“Dear PoP,
Great Holiday Trees for a Great Cause — On December 4 and 5, 2010, from 10- 4, the Bancroft Elementary School PTA will hold its annual holiday tree sale. We have trees of every size and for every budget, as well as wreaths, roping, stands and craft activities for the kids. So come by, buy a tree (with all proceeds going to the PTA), get some hot chocolate and visit our brand new playground!! Bancroft is located at the corner of 18th Street and Newton in Mt. Pleasant”
And in case you missed it we spoke about other spots around town to buy Christmas trees right before Thanksgiving.

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
