Nurses Appreciation Week starts today!!  I have so much respect for nurses and all the hard work, care & time they devote to their patients.  When my oldest son Andrew was 4 months old, he had two open heart surgeries and we lived in a hospital for over 3 weeks while he recovered.  My family will be forever grateful to all the wonderful nurses who took such great care of Andrew and helped us all feel as comfortable as possible considering the circumstances.  So to all the nurses out there, THANK YOU!!

In honor of Nurses Appreciation Week, here are a few places honoring nurses.  I will update this post as new offers become available.

Cinnabon: Through May 12, nurses get one free Cinnabon Classic Roll, MiniBon Roll or a four-count BonBites when they show their badge at participating locations.
