I have a birthday coming up next month and I'll be honest, I'm not exactly thrilled about it.

Of course I'm looking forward to celebrating with friends and family, but what's really keeping me hopeful about turning another year older is taking advantage of the many birthday freebies across Southwest Michigan.
