Holy Cabin Fever, Batman!!!

www.wsoctv.com
I don't know about you, but I am more than ready to get out of the house this week and get into some fun around Charlotte. Joaquin was definitely not as bad as forecast here in Charlotte, but it made for a LONG, rainy week and weekend, and LOTS of time at home. The weather looks to improve very soon...so thankful for that!

Thoughts and prayers are with those in Columbia and other places in South Carolina affected by the horrible flooding. A local group of moms is collecting clothing and household items to take there later in the week. If you are interested in donating, please email me at queencitybuzz@gmail.com.

Head over to our Facebook Page this week to enter to win a $50 gift certificate to the October Charlotte Warehouse Sale happening October 14-19. Facebook giveaway will run October 5-12th...mark your calendar for this sale!

Blessings,
The Buzz
