Wait one minute! Did you know that January 19th is National Popcorn Day? I am going to have to write this on my calendar. There is so much potential for a day dedicated to popcorn. MomOnDealz brought us a fun craft this week that combines popcorn and hearts – perfect since Valentine’s Day is less than a month away!
