“Do you remember, the 21st night of September?” Earth, Wind, and Fire is certainly one of the first things I think about for this month! As fall steals over us, we here in California are getting ready for the start of wildfire season, pretending like it is getting colder, and waxing poetic about how lovely […]

With the start of March, we finally step into spring! I know that I am certainly looking forward to warmer and longer days, as I am sure is true for many people across the US right now. This month also brings a few holidays I want to help your celebrate. March 17 is St. Patrick’s […]
February is here already! And of course, that means Valentine’s Day. Whether or not you have a significant other, I think it is a perfectly good time to treat yourself to a box or three of chocolates. Not that anyone needs an excuse to pamper themselves! And, February is also Black History Month. The flavors […]

October has got to be one of the most fun months, right? Halloween can be as scary or as silly as you decide, and it
