When Lee and I first moved to St. Louis, the land in which I spent most of my formative years, we immediately set out to develop new relationships as a married couple. I did not want to only think of St. Louis as my childhood home, though it felt that way since I spent six years in […]

We have a naughty little Monkey in our midst. He’s mischevious and sneaky and you never really know where you’ll find him.
