I'm not sure if it's because I'm in "nesting mode" in anticipation of Baby Palm or because it's finally 75 and sunny in Kansas City, but these days I'm for all things spring. In fact, I'm writing this on our back patio with my feet up listening to music and watching the neighborhood kids ride [...]
Oh, Baby
Christmas came a bit early for us at the Palm house ... I found out on Dec. 15 that we are pregnant! It was like any other Saturday. I had just wrapped up a crazy busy week at work and started my weekend at the gym. It was one of the best workouts I had [...]
