The Best Present for New Year’s Day!

Posted by:

 
As you ponder the subject of “best present” what would that mean to you?
 
Would it be leaving behind the rough patches of 2016, hoping to scratch that winning lottery ticket, or finding out you may have a new job offer coming your way?
 
 
So many of us spend so much time reflecting on the past year and planning for a new year full of opportunities.

Kids and Holiday Anxiety

Posted by:

U.S. sales of certified organic wine and those made with organic grapes hit $80 million last year, rising 28 percent since 2004, according to the Organic Trade Association (OTA).
