We had a Merry Christmas this year. With two mortgages and the economic climate being what it is, it was a smaller, less ahem, frivolous, Christmas than we may have had in the past. But it didn’t matter. It was Merry and fun nonetheless.

It is the nature of babies to be in bliss.

This video is outstanding. A film crew from the New Hampshire Chronicle visited my friend, Valerie, at her farm – The Green Alpaca. In the video Valerie talks about alpacas being eco-friendly, we get to see her yurt, and the alpacas are completely adorable.
I have to admit that I never understood the yurt. I’m not [...]
