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 [...]

A Happy Hibernation
Well, it's been exactly three months to the day since my last blog post. I feel like I've been in a full-blown hibernation.
