Did you spring forward? Yep, it’s already time to lose an hour and enjoy more sunshine, at least for a while). Our weather in the Bay area is going to be nice this week and I’m looking forward to us drying out and enjoying our usual sunny, blue sky California days.

Speaking of enjoying, I’d love for you to visit these interesting bloggers–here’s a taste of what’s going on over at their blogs.

Meryl

Happy spring forward day, everyone!
