So today is the first day of spring, and I think we all collectively willed the sun to come out after a gloomy start to the morning. I know I gave those clouds the stink eye and told them they better scat 🙂 Even though the weather may not have gotten the memo yet, I’m […]

February 2014 Roundup
I don’t know about you, but I am done with this winter. Now normally, I am all about the snowmen and the sledding and the hot chocolate, but enough is enough! (And now they are talking more snow for next week; it’s never going to be spring!) Fortunately, the snow and cold haven’t kept us […]
