Hello Laura, I love your book - thank you for writing it! It strikes the perfect balance between enticing with useful information, without overloading (the latter has lead me to put down many books over the years). I was born elsewhere but always say I was "made in California" (at age two). I just keep falling in love over & over with northern California and your book is delightful encouragement of that.
