KIRA’S PICKS

As an early spring treat for my backyard feathered friends, this nutritious suet kit provides enough to make three vegan cakes.

I can totally relate to bears staggering out of hibernation this time of year. That’s me every morning! This delicate bear pendant reminds me I’m not alone.
