Even though I ADORE fall and it’s my favorite season, I am constitutionally incapable of fully enjoying it because I know winter is lurking right around the corner. Lurking, lurking. Don’t get me wrong: I love hot chocolate, snow angels, and figure skating as much as the next gal, but when you live in Detroit, [...]

I always get super-emotional on my kids’ birthdays, and today is certainly no exception! One year ago today, our sweet Abigail London was born, at 11:26 a.m. Her vivaciousness charms us, and her warm snuggles melt our hearts.
