The two biggest events that spring to mind are weddings and graduations. This year, I’m excited that both of these are happening in my family. My baby niece has grown up to [...]

I have some sisters who are hard to buy for.  I like buy them something that they would not normally buy for themselves, but I don’t really know what that would be. The Toast of California was a big hit with the sister who received it for Christmas last year.  She lives in California and [...]
