The sight of tulips unfurling their bright petals and small buds appearing on the tips of tree branches makes me absolutely giddy.

Finally, I can tell you: Our new addition has arrived. Her name is Sophia and she was born last Monday.

Already, my child possesses the ability to detect the presence of anything carbolicious lurking in the nearby vicinity. Blueberry muffins, cupcakes, toast, you name it.

Can you believe it? Two degrees below zero with a windchill of -25. I didn't even know my car was capable of registering temperatures on a negative scale!
