I never, ever, in a million years understood Groundhog Day as a child. But now that I’m an adult? Nope- I STILL don’t understand it. I mean, we take a groundhog, hold it up, and we look for it’s shadow to determine if we have more winter? It makes no sense! First, you would think…

Summer is so close, we can taste it! Or is it just these Sour Cherry Margarita Jello Shots…? Either way, I am stoked for better weather. The last 6 months have been somewhat of a whirlwind for my family. We moved to Eugene, OR in November when my husband got a job transfer. While we…
