I have a crazy love for Fall leaves. Who else is with me? They are incredible, and I yearn for them every year. I am SO GRATEFUL I have made it a tradition to go hike with my sisters each Fall so I can luxuriate in their beauty (both the sisters as well as the…
My brother is one of my favorite people. Well, I have five brothers, and they’re all my favorites for all kinds of different reasons, but the one I want to talk about today is Tal. And Tal married a Swiss girl named Anita. And the two of them, along with their daughter have built a…
