  • Today really feels like spring. It’s 60 degrees outside, sunny, and just a little bit windy. I found myself driving to the market with the windows rolled all the way down, singing to the radio at the top of my lungs. There’s something about a day like today that makes me think of fresh starts…

  • Spring is right around the corner. My big puffy coat has been relegated to the back of the closet, and I’ve been venturing outside just in a light sweater and a scarf. This past weekend it was even warm enough to go rollerblading outside in a t-shirt! It was glorious. I would be remiss, however,…
