From the executive editor

Hi glo readers

There’s something in the spring air that instantly conjures memories of springs gone by my kiddos riding their bikes and jumping in puddles in our cul de sac last year; my first two Great Danes getting the zoomies in my back yard many years ago; all the way back to high school track meets and the nervous flutter I’d get in my stomach before my race. The memories are so vivid; tied to the way the air feels (slightly damp and still chilly) and smells (fresh and new). It also inspires me to throw open the windows to let the stale winter air out of the house as soon as it is remotely warm enough. What memories does spring evoke for you? What does this season of renewal inspire you to do? I’d love to hear from you. Email me anytime at ambouthot@thepapers.com.

This issue’s theme is “Let’s Get Ready for Spring,” so after you return from memory lane, we are here to help you do all the things needed to embrace the season. From our annual spring fashion preview to spring break planning and storm preparedness, we have you covered. We also recognize Women’s History Month with an article about the origins of this worldwide celebration.

Whatever your plans this season, we hope you make lasting memories and embrace what each day brings.
