Puppets Exposed

Digging Out of the Polar Vortex

Winter in Michigan, especially the one we just experienced, leaves quite an impression. While beautiful outside, it tends to encourage a bit of hibernation in us as well, a yin to summer's yang.

It's no secret that children are wizards capable of transforming even the most mundane objects into portals of extraordinary adventure.
