I’m pretty sure that Easter is my favorite holiday… I think I love it the most because there’s not a lot of pressure… I mean don’t get me wrong… I go back and forth… Christmas, Easter, Christmas…Easter is fresh, new, light!

Today is Earth Day and I thought why not write about nature, fresh air and heck, some strawberries! A few weeks back we met some sweet friends at a nearby … Read more
